How to determine MIME type of file in android?

by

First and foremost, you should consider calling MimeTypeMap#getMimeTypeFromExtension(), like this:

// url = file path or whatever suitable URL you want.
public static String getMimeType(String url) {
    String type = null;
    String extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(url);
    if (extension != null) {
        type = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(extension);
    }
    return type;
}
