927949 - Getting default application handler is broken

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Wesley Johnston (:wesj)]

Currently we use ResolveInfo.isDefault [1] to determine if an app is the default handler for an intent. This doesn't seem to work :), so I assume its just querying what is says. "Does this intent filter have the default category set". Yeah...

I think maybe our alternative is to use PackageManager.getPreferredActivities() [2] which returns some intentFilters that this app is default for, which we'll then have to compare to our intent. :(
