When your app is requested to handle an image or a PDF file, your activity (declaring the intent filter shown above) is launched or resumed (onNewIntentonNewetent()) with the Intent having ACTION_VIEW or ACTION_SEND.

...

If the Intent passes the above check then register an activity result handler with the CaptureFlowImportContract() and pass the Intent to GiniBank.startCaptureFlowForIntentstartCaptureFlowFortent():

Code Block

fun configureCapture() {
  GiniBank.setCaptureConfiguration(this,
    CaptureConfiguration(
      fileImportEnabled = true,
      ... // other configuration options
    )
  )
}

// Use the androidx's Activity Result API to register a handler for the capture result.
val captureImportLauncher = registerForActivityResult(CaptureFlowImportContract()) { result: CaptureResult ->
    when (result) {
        is CaptureResult.Success -> {
            handleExtractions(result.specificExtractions)
        }
        is CaptureResult.Error -> {
            when (result.value) {
                is ResultError.Capture -> {
                    val captureError: GiniCaptureError = (result.value as ResultError.Capture).giniCaptureError

Detecting when your app is the default app for opening PDFs or images

It is easy for Android users to unintentionally set your app as the default for opening PDFs or images. To inform users about it and allow them to undo it the SDK detects if your app was selected as the default app and shows the Clear Defaults Dialog to inform users and to allow them to clear the defaults for your app in the Android settings.
