Make sure you have the right mimeTypes for text, images, and videos (check the docs for help).

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get past this question about mimeTypes and Intent filters in the manifest. It wants me to add 3 different types of mimeTyes for text, audio, and image which I think i've done but it doesn't like it.

AndroidManifest.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest package="com.teamtreehouse.timetraveler"
          xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <activity android:name=".TimeTravelActivity">
          <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                    <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
                    <data android:mimeType="audio/*" />
                    <data android:mimeType="image/*" />

            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

The challenge is asking you to accept "plain text, video, and image messages" but your mime types are for plain text, audio and image messages
