Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

IntentFilter.MalformedMimeTypeException

Remarks

Add a new Intent data type to match against. If any types are included in the filter, then an Intent's data must be either one of these types or a matching scheme. If no data types are included, then an Intent will only match if it specifies no data.

Note: MIME type matching in the Android framework is case-sensitive, unlike formal RFC MIME types. As a result, you should always write your MIME types with lower case letters, and any MIME types you receive from outside of Android should be converted to lower case before supplying them here.

Throws MalformedMimeTypeException if the given MIME type is not syntactically correct.
