Android: torrent intent

Question

I have a couple of apps installed to download torrents (Ttorrent, UTorrent etc..) but when I run this code in my app

    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
    i.setType("application/x-bittorrent");
    i.setData(Uri.parse(movie.getTorrentUrl()));
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "view"));

I get "no apps can perform this action" dialog.

Answer 1

I solved getting an intent for every app that can handle my action, and then I perform some filters based on intent package name (in my case I check if the package contains "torrent" word). Here the code:

  public Intent generateTorrentIntent(Context context, String action, Intent intent) {
    final PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
    List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfo = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent,
            PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
    if (resolveInfo.size() > 0) {
        List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
        for (ResolveInfo r : resolveInfo) {
            Intent progIntent = (Intent)intent.clone();
            String packageName = r.activityInfo.packageName;

            progIntent.setPackage(packageName);
            if (r.activityInfo.packageName.contains("torrent"))
                targetedShareIntents.add(progIntent);

        }
        if (targetedShareIntents.size() > 0) {
            Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0),
                    "Select app to share");

            chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS,
                    targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[] {}));

            return chooserIntent;
        }
    }
    return null;
}
