Determining Intent Actions and MIME Types

Let’s look at a simple example. For the remainder of this chapter, we make various modifications to a simple field notes application that uses a content provider to expose African game animal field notes; each note has a title and text body (the content itself comes from field notes on African game animals that we wrote up years ago on our nature blog, which is very popular with grade-schoolers). Throughout these examples, the application acts as a content type handler for VIEW requests for data with a custom MIME type:

vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.androidbook.live.fieldnotes
