Some devices (Samsung) have their custom intent that outsiders are not aware of. However the typical process is adding the intent for the mime type of the specific file types your app wants to handle. If you want to access all the files, then you could probably use */*.

 <activity
      android:name=".MyShareApp"
      android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dark.NoTitleBar" >
      <intent-filter>
           <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
           <data android:mimeType="photo/*" />
      </intent-filter>
 </activity>

Hope this helps!

To add new API in custom Android SDK

I have created a JAVA class exposing native API. I have kept this class in _frameworks/base/core/java/com/myDomain/myPackage/myClass.java_ and for this i have already created JNI C code files and their entries in required make files.

But after building the SDK, it didn't include expected package _com.myDomain.myPackage_.

Is there any specific configuration file(s) where I would have to make entries to include it in Android SDK, or the place is incorrect where currently class files is kept.

Camera Intent issue,how can I know whether app is installed in samsung device or others using java?

Hi,Recently I made an app which takes photo and set to an ImageView in android.In samsung phone its orientation is 90 while camera intent opens so I used ExifInterface with four case 90/180/270/0 with normal case (0 degree) but when I compiled this method,its working perfect in all samsung device which is setting image after reverse rotate 90 to ImageView but not with others like moto/redmi/asus/karbonn I checked on each phone and there is an error that they are not getting bitmap.but when I removed ExifInterface and orientation,it started to work with all devices.but same issue with samsung device that setting image in ImageView with 90 degree orientation.
