Android Question How to find a Custom file type in Content Chooser

[alvin1929]

so i have a custom file type with an extension of ".bind" I use content chooser and it works fine. The only problem is i cannot select my customized file type.
I tried this

CC.Show("application/bind", "Choose pdf")

The file extension doesn't really matter. It is up to the third party app to decide how to handle the mime type.

CC.Show("*/*", "Choose file")

and work it out with

If Success And filename.IndexOf(".bind") > -1 Then

....

In this case, it could determine whether the selected file has a ".bind" in it
