No activity found to handle Intent - android.intent.action.OPEN_DOCUMENT

Solution

Add a mime type, or simply `intent.setType("*/*")`.

This seems to be a known issue. `setType()` is required.

Edit: you also need to add `android:enabled="true"`, note that you should reference it from values and not directly so as only to enable it for >=kitkat. So `android:enabled="@bool/is_kitkat"`, `<bool name="atLeastKitKat">false</bool>` in `/res/values/` and `<bool name="atLeastKitKat">true</bool>` in `/res/values-v19/`

Problem

I am trying my hand on Storage Access Framework of android 4.4 I have developed a dummy app which fires an intent on start of the activity. ``` Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE); startActivityForResult(intent, READ_REQUEST_CODE); ``` Also I have developed another dummy app which serves as the file-provider. ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.saf" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="19" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS"/> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <activity android:name="com.example.saf.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <provider android:name="com.example.saf.MyFileProvider" android:authorities="com.example.saf.documents" android:exported="@bool/is_kitkat" android:enabled="@bool/is_kitkat" android:grantUriPermissions="@bool/is_kitkat" android:permission="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.content.action.DOCUMENTS_PROVIDER" /> </intent-filter> </provider> </application> ``` I have implemented the class MyFileProvider. But when I launch the user-app (the one which fires the intent), I get the following error ``` android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.OPEN_DOCUMENT cat=[android.intent.category.OPENABLE] } ``` I was just following developer docs of android. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Edit: Here is my latest Manifest. Also do I need to have a "proper" implementation of the MyFileProvider "extends DocumentsProvider"? Can I just return null in the functions for now?
