Android Question Selecting an application for viewing pdf files.

[Sergey_New]

I check which applications installed on the device can view pdf files:

Sub openPdf
    Private in As Intent
    in.Initialize(in.ACTION_VIEW, "file://")
    in.SetType("application/pdf")
    Dim pm As PackageManager
    Log(pm.queryIntentActivities (in))
End Sub

Here's what's in Log:

(ArrayList) [com.microsoft.skydrive/.pdfviewer.PdfIntentHandlerActivity,
com.dropbox.android/com.dropbox.preview.v3.ExternalPdfPreviewActivity,
com.google.android.apps.docs/com.google.android.apps.viewer.PdfViewerActivity,
com.microsoft.office.word/.WordActivity,
com.ncloudtech.cloudoffice/.NewIcons,
com.samsung.android.app.notes/com.samsung.android.support.senl.nt.app.trigger.PdfOnlyOpenTriggerActivity]

How, if possible, can I determine which application is installed for viewing permanently and can I programmatically cancel it?

I get the Package Name.

Next, you can go to the application settings.

There is some discrepancy between the Package Name and what the device shows when selecting the default application. It will not be easy for the user to figure it out.

I have attached an example. What can you advise?
