How to tell what's the MIME type according to the file?

Is there any elegant way (not just if ("fileExt".compareTo(".mp3")) {MIME_TYPE = "audio/*"}) to learn programatically the MIME type that should be put into an intent, with which I have to open the file?

Thanks!

well it does the same as your if statement but is slightly more elegant

Use the MimeTypeMap class

You can use MediaStore to find the mime type:
