Apr 3, 2013I'm using JB 1.4.2 on Razr i. There's one thing that's annoying me a lot. I've installed the SNES Emulator SuperGNES and I've found that every single file type that have no app associated is showing SuperGNES icon and associated with it. Example: .log, .db, etc. Even files that have no extension is associated with it. The same problem occur when ZArchiver is installed. I don't know if it's a bug of these two apps or Android's in general. Remembering that this associations are shown only inside Android's native file manager. It's like every "unknown MIME type file" act like being the same.

Nov 9, 2010I use my file explorer a lot. It eliminates much of the "You have to put the files here" sort of requirement of many applications. And in many case - movie files for example - when you touch the file, it opens it in the appropriate application. There are exceptions like *.epub files. When I touch one, I get the famous "...does not support." message. So the question is, can I "register" Laputa (for example) to be the app to open *.epub files - Similar to the File Types dialog in Windows?I suppose this might require root access?

Jun 13, 2010In Android, I am trying to make it so that the user downloads a font from the browser and I am able to view the font when downloaded. After multiple issues, I still have one lingering one: Registering the file type with the browser. When trying to download with the Emulator (2.1-u1), I get "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone". Okay, so maybe its my manifest file. Updated with this:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:label="MainActivity">

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
<catagory android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>

<data android:scheme="ftp"/> <data android:host="*"/>
<data android:mimeType="*/*"/> <data android:pathPattern=".*zip"/>
</intent-filter> </activity>
Went back to the browser, and fails again. Restart the Emulator, still fails. Note that I got this format from posts here.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Able To Install File Without Adding MIME Type In Web Server
Feb 12, 2009I kept my .apk file in my "apache" webserver at "Document root" path. This is the only file at Document Root . I had removed index.html file at this location. If I keep the index.html file then other files where not displayed if I open the URL i.e http://<ip_address> using a web browser Now from my Google phone browser I'm able to download the apk file and and install it in Google phone. Note 1: I had not done any settings to add the MIME type "application/ vnd.android.package-archive" in apache web server. Note 2: I was connecting to my webserver through WiFi. But the same apk file I was not able to download from my Gmail (as attachment) and I got "unknown file type" error in this case. After reading few related topics, I came to know about the MIME type support required in webserver for android applications. Now I'm wondering how come file gets installed sucessfully from my apache webserver even without adding the MIME type "application/ vnd.android.package-archive". Any clues what's happening here?
