Android: Issue with acceptable file types via bluetooth



I've got a problem with pushing files to my Nexus One.





It seems to me that there is only a small selection of file types that are accepted by my phone (such as jpg, gif and so on).





I recently tried to push other files to my phone (in my case gpx) and my phone rejected it automatically.





Is there a way to bypass or extend this filter in my program?


Is there also a way to catch those files by a service?

  1. I've got this error before. It would say "File Not Accepted: The target device claims it will not accept a file of the type you are trying to send" or "Error, device does not accept files of this type" This is because of not having permission to accept this file. You have to add permission in the Manifest file.

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />


    Under the activity enter something like this!

    <activity name="BluetoothActivity">
    <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
    <data android:pathPattern="*.*\\.gpx" />
    </intent-filter>
    </activity>

  2. You could try to add intent filters for the file extensions you expect to receive, see Android intent filter for a particular file extension?

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
