[android-developers] Re: Viewing app features (MIME types, etc)

What I'm interested in mostly is figuring out why certain apps already
installed on the phone that are supposed to be "listening" for certain
file types don't seem to be doing so. So I need something that works
on the phone, on any app, not just my own.

It looks like I MIGHT be able to muddle my way through starting from
PackageManager, but it seems like the sort of thing someone would have
written a tool for.
