  1. POintent filter for ical URLs
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to register my Android app as a handler for iCal URLs. To do this I set intent filters in my Manifest for the <code>webcal://</code> pseudo protocol and for HTTP URLs using the <code>text/calendar</code> MIME type (see below).</p> <p>This works perfectly fine in the emulator, but on a real device I'm having problems. The <code>webcal://</code> filter works, but the <code>text/calendar</code> one doesn't. Instead the Browser displays the ical file as plain text instead of passing the URL to my app.</p> <p>I checked that the browser isn't configured as a default handler for ical (in Settings->Applications->Browser) and I asked a few other people if they could reproduce the problem on their mobiles. All with the same result.</p> <p>What's the correct way to register for text/calendar URLs?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="org.splitbrain.giraffe" android:versionName="0.31" android:versionCode="4"&gt; &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" /&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"&gt;&lt;/uses-permission&gt; &lt;application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"&gt; &lt;activity android:label="@string/app_name" android:name="MainActivity"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"&gt;&lt;/category&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"&gt;&lt;/action&gt; &lt;data android:mimeType="text/calendar" android:scheme="http"&gt;&lt;/data&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"&gt;&lt;/category&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"&gt;&lt;/category&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"&gt;&lt;/action&gt; &lt;data android:scheme="webcal"&gt;&lt;/data&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"&gt;&lt;/category&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;activity android:name="OptionsActivity"&gt;&lt;/activity&gt; &lt;activity android:name="DetailActivity"&gt;&lt;/activity&gt; &lt;activity android:name="AboutActivity"&gt;&lt;/activity&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;/manifest&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Update:</strong> Turns out the above works fine in the Android 1.6 emulator, but not on a 2.3.3 emulator where it shows the same behavior as on my phone. Is this a bug in Android maybe?</p>
