[android-developers] Sending files with specific MIME types over Bluetooth.

In my app, I have a "Share" menu. Here's the code that creates the
Chooser:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

if (TextUtils.isEmpty(mimeType))
intent.setType("*/*"); //$NON-NLS-1$
else
intent.setType(mimeType.toString());

Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(transferFile);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

return Intent.createChooser(intent,
activity.getText(R.string.send));

Now, if I pass in an empty MIME type, I am allowed to pick Bluetooth
as a transfer method, but if I give it a specific type, Bluetooth is
not an option.

So, my question is: Why would Bluetooth care about the MIME type, and
is there a way to force Bluetooth to appear as one of the choices?
