Detect when there is no suitable activity in chooser intent

My app creates an intent, and it then creates a chooser intent from it. If there is no app to handle the intent, the chooser intent creates a dialog to inform the user. I would like my app to get notified of this fact, either with an exception or some other way. Is it possible?

I think I could query if there are activities suitable for my original intent using queryIntentActivities(). Would that be a good solution? Would it be too slow to use it on the UI thread? Is there a better way?

Sure. If that returns an empty list, you know the chooser will not have any options.

Not that I am aware of.

Have someone else write the call to queryIntentActivities() for you, while you relax. :-)
