Android Question [solved] registering app as file handler not working

[nikolaus]

Hi,

to register my browser as URL/Html handler in manifest editor I added:

AddActivityText(Main,
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="http" />
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:mimeType="text/*" />
<data android:mimeType="application/xhtml+xml" />
</intent-filter>)

The manifest.xml created contains:

            <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <data android:scheme="http" />
            <data android:scheme="https" />
            <data android:mimeType="text/*" />
            <data android:mimeType="application/xhtml+xml" />
            </intent-filter>

But my browser doesn't handle any URL clicked in other apps like Email or GooglePlay. I only gent an error message respectively Play crashes. In standard applications there is no browser registered and Default App Manager says there is no browser.

I do not find any mistake. Maybe I'm blind

This is working:

AddActivityText(Main,
<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="http" />
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:scheme="javascript" />
</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="http" />
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:scheme="inline" />
<data android:mimeType="text/html" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
<data android:mimeType="application/xhtml+xml" />
</intent-filter>)

Sometimes you just have to ask a question to find the solution
