open with ” dialog ,but if i open the same HTML file from Gmail client my app is showing in

“open with “

open with” dialog . In other devices(like Google nexus ,S2 etc), i am able to open the HTML file through my application from Email client, Email client .is this device specific issue?

Answer 1

In some devices Email client is not opening the app with mime type as text/html.so i changed like follows.

       <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:mimeType="text/html"/>
             <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
        </intent-filter> 

Then email app is able to show my application in the list.but it will show when we tring to opne HTML/Text files.
