1)http://filext.com/faq/office_mime_types.php for the office types. 2)"text/x-vcard" for vcf 3)http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp and http://filext.com for movies 4)"application/vnd.android.package-archive" for apk files I use filename.endsWith("doc") to figure out the filetype. I know this isn't the most elegant solution, but I can't get that URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(String url) to work for me...

I guess you can use URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(String url) to find out the MIME type. I've not tested it, but I'll need this too, so I will give it a try.
