Android Question ContentChooser proper mime

[Robert Valentino]

When I use the below code with contentchooser to try and pick pdf files it displays pdf's and db's

PickFile.Show("application/pdf/*", "Pick a file to import")

when I use the following to pick a db, again I get pdf's and db's

PickFile.Show("application/vnd.sqlite3/*", "Pick a Database")

I've tried a bunch of different SQLite mime types and all result in the same (PDFs being shown with DBs).

Is there a different mime to only show PDFs and only show DBs in the contentchooser list?

OK, partly solved - the below works for PDFs - tried sames with SQLite3 but then nothing shows

PickFile.Show("application/pdf", "Pick a file to import")                '  Removed ending /*

PickFile.Show("application/vnd.sqlite3", "Pick a Database")            '  Removed ending /*       <- NOW shows nothing

PickFile.Show("application/vnd.sqlite3/*", "Pick a Database")

I think it is this:

PickFile.Show("application/octet-stream", "Pick a Database")

octet-stream is a general binary file type.You could also try

I was searching and writing...

Useful link (where should I post this?):

(CTRL + F Sqlite, there)

PickFile.Show("application/octet-stream", "Pick a Database")

This option came close, I happen to have an .aab file on my device and it listed it with the sql db files. Will play with some others
