Hi, I use the code posted below in the in Manifest-Editor to launch my app when a *.Dat file is clicked in the file-editor. That works! However, if I try to use a file in the Dropbox it doesn't. (Intent.GetExtra("key_filename") is returning nothing)
What would be a correct or better way to open a file from the dropbox?
Dropbox allows only certain files with a given extension. This link has a list of the permitted extensions. https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide#app-permissions
Dat is not one of the extensions permitted. Try to change the file extension or contact Dropbox support and ask them to add the extension specifically to your app. I hope this answers your question as I had a similar situation.
