I want an intent filter to only launch my app if the user clicks the
Download/Preview button on a file with a particular extension.
Consider an email with the following attachments:
foo.bar
plugh.xyzzy
click.me
billy.bob
I want my app to be registered so a download/preview button is ONLY next to
the file with the extension .me, so next to the "click.me" file.
I have been successful in making intent filters that will show buttons next
to ALL the files, but not next to only the one I care about.
Here's a filter that shows buttons next to all of the files, and not just
in front of "click.me"
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:host="*"
android:scheme="content"
android:mimeType="*/*"
android:pathPattern=".*\\.me" />
</intent-filter>
It seems that android:pathPattern is being ignored.
I'm assuming at this point the system does not know or recognize the file
name of the file being presented as an attachment in the email?
Am I chasing a rabbit that cannot be caught?
