Re: [android-developers] Re: View & Open files downloaded from the server

That's a bad snippet, but their site's login seems broken.

I would avoid using wildcard MIME types for specific files like this.
For example, there might be an audio player that only handles OGG, not
MP3 -- the ACTION_VIEW shown here would still offer that OGG-only
player as an option, which would then break.

For selection Intents, like an ACTION_GET_CONTENT, wildcard MIME types
are fine, AFAIK. But for cases like this, I would use the fully
qualified MIME type, sans wildcard.
