How to implement android.intent.action.VIEW completion action handler?

[EdOfTheMountain]

How do I pass the file path to my application to handle viewing of the file?

What I Have Done:

I added an intent-filter to my Qt app and it seems to work.

Selecting a *.TSL data file in the app File Manager HD now displays my application so that when I select Open As, Text it displays my app as an option to "Complete action using"

My app is succesfully launched when I choose it to "Complete action using" and select "Just Once".

Under desktop targets such as Linux, OSX, Windows, this works by passing the file to open as a command line argument. What is the Qt Android way?

Can an android.intent.action.VIEW work with an already open application?

File: AndroidManifest.xml
@
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<manifest package="com.ditchwitch.tsr" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:versionName="1.0" android:versionCode="1" android:installLocation="auto">
<application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:name="org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtApplication" android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon">
<activity android:allowTaskReparenting="true" android:configChanges="orientation|uiMode|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation" android:name="org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="sensor" android:launchMode="singleTop">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <data android:scheme="http" />
            <data android:host="*" />
            <data android:pathPattern=".*\\\\.TSL" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <data android:scheme="http" />
            <data android:host="*" />
            <data android:mimeType="application/TSL" />
        </intent-filter>

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