Android Question File Association

[Gearcam]

I am trying to use the following manifest edited:

'*****************************************************
'*** FILTER INTENTS BASED ON CLICKING A BROWSED FILE
'*****************************************************
'Handle intent from a file click simply based on file extensionAddActivityText(Main,
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="file" />
<data android:host="*" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*\\.des1" />
<data android:mimeType="*/*" />
</intent-filter>)

It changes the manifest and installs the app

But if imake a *.des1 file clicking it does not open the app but asks "Open as ...."

looks like this wont work then back to basics.

All I am trying to do is open files in my one drive account what other method can I use ?

Android tries to hide the file system from the user. Most users will never run any file explorer app.

Why not select the file from your app with ContentChooser?

sounds like a plan
my normal loading part of the program uses the "my file manager" example V1

Is theire an example to navigate and chose files with "contentchooser" ?
