Android : List Of Droids MIME Types?
Feb 12, 2009I can't seem to find out how a MIME type is found. For instance, say I want my application to bring up Contacts. Where can I find the MIME type for that task? I currently have the following:
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("*/*");
Intent newIntent = Intent.createChooser(intent, null); startActivityForResult( newIntent , SHOW_VERIFY_ACTIVITY );
And the wildcards work. But I would like to be more explicit. Like the following:
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/contacts");
...but is not valid.

Feb 22, 2009I've been grappling with an issue all day.
I am trying to create a program to deal with .torrent files that are clicked on and/or downloaded by the browser. Currently the downloader reports "Cannot download. the content being downloaded is not supported on the phone"
Im fairly sure this is doable as i recently encountered the same issue with pdf files untill i installed a pdf reader.

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?

Aug 14, 2010Trying to figure what's wrong with my codings. I followed a blog post from here. I managed to get the codes to actually upload the file to a PHP web service. However, for some reason although I've set explicitly the MIME type for the file, PHP shows that the MIME is just a blank string and therefore rejected.

Jan 28, 2010I want to register my application for files of a certain popular and well-documented MIME-type. The problem is that Android does not seem to recognize this MIME-type. The following sample code demonstrates this:
package com.example.helloandroid;
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("Hello, Android"); setContentView(tv); String extn = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl("/data/a.xyz"); String xyzMimeType = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension (extn); Log.d ("HelloAndroid", "extn: " + extn + " | xyzMimeType: " + xyzMimeType); }

Android : ListView With Different Types Of Views?
Jul 2, 2009I'm trying to make a ListView when every item in that list can be a different type of View. for example the list could be: 1. TextView 2. ImageView 3. MyCustomView
I understands that in order to make a list I need to use an Adapter. the problem is that the Adapter uses a single layout for all of the list items, which will not support the different views.
my goal is to make an abstract View list when I can dynamically add and removes items in that list (each item is a View or subclass of it).
Android : Use Each Of Droid's Different Messaging Types?
May 28, 2009I've been working with Android for well over a year now, but I still have trouble determining when different types of messaging/communication between processes/threads should be used. I'm mainly talking about broadcasting Intents, using AIDL for services, using Handlers to send messages and socket communication.
Many of these tools can be used to accomplish similar tasks, but which is better suited to particular situations?

Oct 13, 2010I want to implement a generic, thread save class which takes the RessourceId of an ImageView and the Url (http) where the desired image file is stored. It'll download the image and fills the src of the ImageView in the UiThread.
I thought AsyncTask would be the best thing for me. However I noticed that I only can pass one type of parameters to the doInBackground() Method. Like an Array of Urls. Is that true? What would u suggest me?

Android : Get Localized Label Of Phone Types?
Aug 24, 2010When changing the custom locale the label of the phone types change to the appropriate language. Does anybody know how to get the localized label of the phone types?
I pick a contact in my app to get its phone number and if there is more then one number I use an AlertDialog to let the user select the currect one. In this pick list, I want to show the label of the type, so it's easier for the user to select. Since they labels are somewhere in the Android system, it must be possible to get the localized label. Unfortunately, the Phone.LABEL is null when reading the phone number.
Android : ViewHolder Pattern And Different Types Of Rows?
Jan 17, 2010ViewHolder pattern improves ListView scrolling framerate, as seen in following example:
http://developer.android.com/intl/de/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/List14.html
Is it possible to keep this pattern while using different kind of Views for different rows?
In other words, is it possible to do something like:
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
// calculate viewID here
if (view == null || *view is not null but was created from different XML than viewID* ) {
view = mInflater.inflate(viewId, null);

Android : Are Primitive Types Garbage Collected In Droid?
Mar 18, 2010I know this may be a dumb question, but my background is more in c++ and managing my own memory.
I am currently cutting down every single allocation that I can from one of my games to try and reduce the frequency of garbage collection and perceived "lag", so for every variable that I create that is an Object (String for example) I am making sure that I create it before hand in my constructor and not create temporary variables in simple 10 line functions... (I hope that makes sense)
Anyways I was working though it some more tonight and I realized that I a may be completely wrong about my assumption on garbage collection and primitive types (int, boolean, float) are these primitive type variables that I create in a 10 line function that gets called 20 times a second adding to my problem of garbage collection?
General :: No File Extension Association - Unknown MIME Type File
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.

Android :: Is Binary Representation Of Native Types Guaranteed Same On All Targets?
Aug 5, 2010I"m planning to store my data in a binary format as a resource, read it into an int buffer and basically pass it straight down to a native C++ function, which might cast it to a struct/class and work with it. No pointers, obviously, just ints and floats. The question is - what kind of fixing up do I need to do? I suppose that I need to check ByteOrder.nativeOrder(), figure out if it's big Indian or little Indian, and perform byte-swapping if need be. Other than that, floats are presumably guaranteed to be expected in IEEE 754 format? Are there any other caveats I'm completely overlooking here? (Also - since I'm compiling using the NDK, I know what architecture it is already (ARMv7-A, in my case), so can I technically skip the Indian shenanigans and just take the data the way it is?)
