How to use QAndroidJniObject for intent.setData?

[Clever&Smart]

Hi, I am looking for a way to update my android application manually. My idea is to start an activity/intent via androidextras module.
I have tried following calls:

QAndroidJniObject activity =  QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("org/qtproject/qt5/android/QtNative", "activity", "()Landroid/app/Activity;");	//activity is valid
QAndroidJniObject path=QAndroidJniObject::fromString("file://mnt/sdcard/Download/QtApp.apk");	//path is valid
QAndroidJniObject uri=QAndroidJniObject("java/net/URI","(Ljava/lang/String;)V",path.object<jstring>());	//uri is valid
QAndroidJniObject intent("android/content/Intent","()V");	//intent is valid, but empty
QAndroidJniObject type=QAndroidJniObject::fromString("application/vnd.android.package-archive");	//type is valid
QAndroidJniObject result=intent.callObjectMethod("setType","(Ljava/lang/String;)Landroid/content/Intent;",type.object<jobject>());	//result is valid, intent contains type
result=intent.callObjectMethod("setDataAndNormalize","(Ljava/net/URI;)Landroid/content/Intent;",uri.object<jobject>());	//result is invalid, intent contains type
activity.callObjectMethod("startActivity","(Landroid/content/Intent;)V",intent.object<jobject>());	//works, but shows a selection screen for the intent containing email, bluetooth etc. because intent's data member is missing

QAndroidJniObject activity =  QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("org/qtproject/qt5/android/QtNative", "activity", "()Landroid/app/Activity;");	//activity is valid
QAndroidJniObject path=QAndroidJniObject::fromString("file://mnt/sdcard/Download/QtApp.apk");	//path is valid
QAndroidJniObject uri=QAndroidJniObject("java/net/URI","(Ljava/lang/String;)V",path.object<jstring>());	//uri is valid
QAndroidJniObject intent("android/content/Intent","()V");	//intent is valid, but empty
QAndroidJniObject type=QAndroidJniObject::fromString("application/vnd.android.package-archive");	//type is valid
QAndroidJniObject result=intent.callObjectMethod("setType","(Ljava/lang/String;)Landroid/content/Intent;",type.object<jobject>());	//result is valid, intent contains type
result=intent.callObjectMethod("setDataAndNormalize","(Ljava/net/URI;)Landroid/content/Intent;",uri.object<jobject>());	//result is invalid, intent contains type
activity.callObjectMethod("startActivity","(Landroid/content/Intent;)V",intent.object<jobject>());	//works, but shows a selection screen for the intent containing email, bluetooth etc. because intent's data member is missing

Whenever I try to call setDataAndNormalize or even setData, result is always invalid and data member of intent is not set. Any clues what I am doing wrong?

I have managed to create an intent with a dat member set this way:

QAndroidJniObject path=QAndroidJniObject::fromString("file:///sdcard/Download/QtApp-debug.apk");
QAndroidJniObject intent=QAndroidJniObject::QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("android/content/Intent","parseUri","(Ljava/lang/String;I)Landroid/content/Intent;",path.object<jstring>(),0x00000000);

QAndroidJniObject path=QAndroidJniObject::fromString("file:///sdcard/Download/QtApp-debug.apk");
QAndroidJniObject intent=QAndroidJniObject::QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("android/content/Intent","parseUri","(Ljava/lang/String;I)Landroid/content/Intent;",path.object<jstring>(),0x00000000);

Nevertheless when starting the activity, the application crashes

I found out that the newly created intent has no typ set (e.g. "application/vnd.android.package-archive").

I know, I know ... the thread is not really all that fresh but it is one of the first things Google sent me to and it did give me a nice boost on solving the exact same issue so I figure I might save someone a few hours

QAndroidJniObject path = QAndroidJniObject::fromString("file:///the-path-to-the-apk.apk");
QAndroidJniObject uri = QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("android/net/Uri", "parse", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Landroid/net/Uri;", path.object<jstring>());
QAndroidJniObject param = QAndroidJniObject::getStaticObjectField<jstring>("android/content/Intent", "ACTION_VIEW");
QAndroidJniObject intent("android/content/Intent","(Ljava/lang/String;)V",param.object<jstring>());
QAndroidJniObject type = QAndroidJniObject::fromString("application/vnd.android.package-archive");
QAndroidJniObject result = intent.callObjectMethod("setDataAndTypeAndNormalize", "(Landroid/net/Uri;Ljava/lang/String;)Landroid/content/Intent;", uri.object<jobject>(), type.object<jstring>());
QtAndroid::startActivity(intent, 1001, 0);

You can obviously use any request code you wish and should check for exceptions but I believe the code to be self-explanatory enough. Tested and working on Qt 5.5.
