Is it possible to support custom extension file?

If we have a file with a custom extension like .abc, can I open this file with the app?

How can we show our app under the suggestion list in "open with" options?

You can try this in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity ...>
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      <data android:scheme="file"  
          android:host="*" 
          android:pathPattern=".*\\.abc" 
          android:mimeType="*/*" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
