Hi!
I need to open files with custom extension using my app. I am able to do this using Intent filters when the file is in my sd card. I can also view the 'download' and 'preview' buttons if the file is sent as a Gmail attachment. However, when I clicked the download/preview buttons, I got the message - "Sorry, the attachment could not be downloaded".
I thought this was an issue with my app. But I had a random idea and installed "Download All Files" app on my phone.

Then, when I click download button in Gmail, both Download All Files and My App are proposed for downloading the file. I chose my app, and everything works fine!!
Is this some security issue?
These are my Intent Filters:
[HIGH] <intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:mimeType="*/*" />
<data android:scheme="content" android:host="*"
android
athPattern=".*\\.ate" />
<data android:scheme="file" android:host="*"
androidathPattern=".*\\.ate" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="application/*" host="*" androidathPattern=".*.ate" android:scheme="content" />
</intent-filter>[/HIGH]
This issue is fairly urgent.. I would really appreciate it if someone has the solution or even just points me in the right direction! Thanks!
