I am writing an app that needs to be able to open (be associated in the browser download window for example) with a certain file type. The file type has .emx extension and is in an xml format (the top of the files have <?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8"?> ). However, I can't for the life of me get my app associated with this filetype.

Is there a way as an end user to associate particular file extensions or mime types with a specific application. For example, I want .djvu to automatically be opened by djvudroid when I click on it in astro. I am on a nexus one by the way.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis question has been asked [numerous times] before, but I have not seen any definitive answers, or examples of code that actually works. I would like to associate an Activity with a particular file type. For discussion, assume that I want my Activity to be associated with PDFs. Here is what I currently have. I have experimented with many different values and combinations of values in the intent-filter, but I have yet to get my Activity to start when a PDF is selected.
<activity name="com.mycompany.MyActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="file" />
<data android:mimeType="application/pdf" />
<data android:pathPattern="*.pdf" />
<data android:host="*" />

This may be a stupid question, but how do I open a CSV (comma-separated values) file as a spreadsheet on my Evo? Quick Office can open an Excel file (.xls) but not CSV. ES File Explorer can open the file as text but not a spreadsheet.
Also, is there a way to associate particular file types with specific applications?
Is there anything the Dalvik VM supports (in terms of bytecode) which is not used currently because the .class files don't have it?
As an example, if people would write their own Source-to-DX converter for their functional language XYZ, would they be able to implement e. g. full tail calls although the .class file does support tail calls only under certain circumstances?
I retrieved and saved the call history details in the file format. However, I would like to know if we have an option to convert the file format to .csv or .xls or any other format.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering what file format the Alert/Notification sounds that come on Android phones, are in. Everytime I tried to google it I would just get a list of all the sound/music formats supported by android, but never just the format that the stock sounds are in. Is it different for different brand of phones. I didn't think it was, i figured all android phones used the same file formats, but you never know, so I figured I would ask. But either way, what file format the notification/alert sounds are in.
Just in case it is different for some phone makers, I am currently rocking the LG Revolution.
If more than one application supports to open a specified file format. I need to make my application as a default application from my code.How it possible to make it default from the code?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using a Samsung Galaxy 3 with android 2.2 and I want to install some application what is downloadad from many different sources. So now here is my problem:
1. I copy the choosen .apk file on my SD card.
2. I have downloaded ASTRO file manager.
3. I have ticked the option installing non-android applications.
4. I want to open the apk file from there but when I click on app installer I onyle get a blank screen and under the details I receive the following error message:
Could not open xy.apk as APK file.
In the meantime I have also copied some music files on my mobile, these are all MP3, works fine on my comp however when I wanted to play it on my mobile with several music players it said the file format is not supported...
The phone used to have 2.1 and I made the update manually but after the update...
I have a HUAWEI g300, and while the quality of still images taken with the camera are great, video quality is awful. Or, to be more specific, the audio that goes with the video is very poor.
I believe that this may be due to the file format of the video.
For this reason, I would be interested to know whether there are any ways to change the file format which videos are recorded in. Are there any alternative camera apps that are any good, which ideally allow the user to select their own file format? My device is rooted btw.
I've got quite a lot of movies and videos but some play better than others on my Android Tablet and some just don't play at all.
I there is a preferred file format for movies and videos because there are too many to choose from?
I just don't know which of the many options I should consider from AVI, Xvid, Divx, H.264 and any other flavour you can think of.
I have a small test Android Project used to test the MediaPlayer class.
For this project, usually after a few builds, the compiler gives this exception:
Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1
I've narrowed this down to Google Chrome locking the generated .apk file (in /bin). So, the build is unable to remove that APK to rebuild.
Sure enough, quitting Chrome, solves the issue.
This is bizarre, isn't it! Why would Google Chrome be grabbing a lock on that file?
I have never had this error with any of my other projects.
I have my phone coming tomorrow. I have done some research and I have downloaded the latest HTC sync and drivers for my windows 7. I have downloaded a few utilities as well.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've written an app that can handle the VIEW action for a given mime Type, say "application/foo". By adding the following to Android Manifest.xml the Browser automatically uses my app to open downloads of that type. The G Mail app also tries to use my app to Preview attachments of that type, but it's passing a URI with scheme "g mail-ls://" rather than a "file://" URI. I guess I need to use a Content Provider to get the attachment data, I haven't looked into that yet. But the real mystery is the Email app there just doesn't seem any way to make it open the attachments. Any pointers? Opening attachments is a very common requirement of course, and I would expect the Android platform to encourage developers to write apps to handle more mime types. Instead I couldn't find any answers.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView that is populated using an XML file. However, I want each item, when clicked, to start a new Activity related to that item. I understand how to use OnItemClick to start a Toast that shows the selected item's text. However, since the ListView is populated from an XML there is not a specific Id for each item in the list. So, how would I associate an Activity with each item in the ListView when the items do not have Ids?
