I can't seem to get my intent-filter to open both from an http and a content scheme. I have my intent-filter setup to look for a certain file extension (ex: ".riley"), but when I set my data section to look for both an http scheme and content scheme, it refuses to open it through http. When I set it up to look for just http, it won't open with content. When I don't specify a scheme, it only opens through file and content, but ignores http.

Here is my basic setup without a specified scheme:

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

<data
    android:host="*"
    android:mimeType="*/*"
    android:pathPattern=".*\\.riley" />

How can I get access to open my application from the specified path extension?

You could try using multiple intent-filters instead of defining both schemes within the data tag.

I have had a similar issue and could resolve it by using the Intent Intercept app and checking which parts of the intent didn't match. I have found that apps tend to omit the file extension when opening intents via the content scheme, that might be part of your problem as well.

  • Yes. This IS the correct answer. I had to post another, more thorough, question, yesterday. Where were you on the 21st?! ;) Thank you! – RileyE Mar 26 '13 at 15:17
  • [Here is the question that I mentioned above, for the sake of future googlers](http://stackoverflow.com/q/15625955/1292230). Can you also add in an example of multiple `intnent-filters` for anyone searching? I think that will determine the upvote :) – RileyE Mar 26 '13 at 15:20
  • Ahhh. I just did it for you. Its easier this way! But voting on the question is always courteous! ;) – RileyE Mar 26 '13 at 15:23
