Let's say I have an Android application called XYZ. That application supports importing a file with a custom extension like file.xyz.
Now what I want is to list my application in the "open with" apps dropdown when I try to open the file.xyz through the file manager or directly open my app & import it.

I am making a download manager app. I need an activity (assume MainActivity) to popup when user is trying to download a file from his default browser (say chrome).
Basically I need to grab a download from chrome.
How to do this?
I am developing an android app that has a feature to download a file when user clicks on a button. The file type can be any of Word, PDF, Excel, etc...
File download shows appropriate android app to open when the file type is Word, Excel or PDF, etc... I have a file type that is specific to customer and they developed an app to open and view this file. When the file type is this particular type download is not showing this customer app in open with list.
Customer app is already published to play store and I don't have control over it. So want to know if there is a way to fix this issue either by some setting or by adding some code in my app.
I'm trying to get my app to open another app, a file manager, to select a file and return it's path to my app. For example if I were to go to my phone's web broswer and attempt to upload something to the web, it'd ask what app I want to use to select the file. Choosing the file manager I would then search for the file, select it and then send it back to the web browser for the upload. How would I do this in my app, I've looked at https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/sending.html but it hasn't helped me.
I am using the cordova 3.4.0 and trying to upload a file, using the file transfer and file api plugins given by cordova, but i am not able to open the file browser window, in order to select the file to upload. How do i open the file browser window in android using the corodva
I used an Input tag in my html, like so:
<input type='file' id='fileInput'>
And then when it is clicked on the Android device, I get a pop-up asking me which file browser I want to use. My Galaxy S3 gives me seven choices (one of which is a downloaded app), and the Panasonic ToughPad I'm developing for gives me three (one of which is the same downloaded app I have on the phone).
I do not know if it is possible to get it to automatically select one in particular - for me, choosing a file manually is supposed to be a temporary need, as eventually the app is supposed to load specific files automatically.
and if this application exist does it has an open API?
nop theres no API to support that, and this is the only way that I Know

An app like QuickOffice or Documents To Go comes on every Android I've seen. If it already has the app then the following should work: Android Launching an application chooser with appropriate list of applications
