Android Question [SOLVED] Default App Reset for file extension

[Peter Lewis]

Hi all ,

I am using some code to share a file to customers via the Share POPUP on android

The First time I ran the source, the popup asked if I wanted to use, Email, whatsapp ect ect as per below

Every since the first time , it now defaults to Whatsapp , as that is the one I initially selected. I have cleared the Cache, deleted all the data and then uninstalled the app. Reinstalled and again did not ask how i wanted to share, just chose Whatsapp.

How do I make it that each time, Android will show all the share options as above ?

Here is the code that I used for Sharing

Thank you

Sub Sharedata( listp As List)
    Dim filename As String = "guests.csv"
    File.WriteList(Starter.Provider.SharedFolder, filename, listp)
    Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize(in.ACTION_SEND, "")
    in.SetType("text/plain")
    in.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", Starter.Provider.GetFileUri(filename))
    in.Flags = 1 'FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
    StartActivity(in)
End Sub

Thinking about it now, it cannot be Default app for an extension, because once it is on whatsapp you you click to open it opens Excel.

The file extension is not used in Android.
You can force it to show the chooser dialog with:

in.WrapAsIntentChooser("title here")
