Android Question (Solved)Intent.action.View isn't working on Dropbox

[opus]

Hi, I use the code posted below in the in Manifest-Editor to launch my app when a *.Dat file is clicked in the file-editor. That works! However, if I try to use a file in the Dropbox it doesn't. (Intent.GetExtra("key_filename") is returning nothing)
What would be a correct or better way to open a file from the dropbox?

AddActivityText(Main,
  <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:scheme="file" />
  <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
  <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.dat" />
  <data android:host="*" />
  </intent-filter>)

Dropbox allows only certain files with a given extension. This link has a list of the permitted extensions.
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide#app-permissions
Dat is not one of the extensions permitted. Try to change the file extension or contact Dropbox support and ask them to add the extension specifically to your app. I hope this answers your question as I had a similar situation.

Thanks, I'll change the extension.
