Question

I’m trying to associate my activity with a particular file extension. Here’s my intent filter:

<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="content" 
          android:host="*" 
          android:mimeType="*/*" 
          android:pathPattern=".*\\.jcrlccip" />
</intent-filter>

However I’m still not able to match the file type. In fact, this matches nothing.

I’ve pretty much tried all the permutations. .* matches everything; anything after * fails.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

What file extension are you using here?
Do you want like PDF or video file or image file?

Example code:

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
    <data android:mimeType="application/pdf" android:scheme="content"></data>
</intent-filter>
