Incorrect mimeTypes?

I keep getting an error saying that I am using the incorrect mimeTypes, but in the official google docs I saw examples using the "image/", "video/", and "plain/text" mimeTypes....so if those aren't what the challenge wants me to use then what should I use?

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" />
                  <data android:mimeType="image/*"/>
                  <data android:mimeType="video/*"/>
                  <data android:mimeType="plain/text"/>
                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
              </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>
