ContentUris

public class ContentUris
extends Object

Utility methods useful for working with Uri objects that use the "content" (content://) scheme.

Content URIs have the syntax

content://authority/path/id

content:

The scheme portion of the URI. This is always set to ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT (value content://).

authority

A string that identifies the entire content provider. All the content URIs for the provider start with this string. To guarantee a unique authority, providers should consider using an authority that is the same as the provider class' package identifier.

path

Zero or more segments, separated by a forward slash (/), that identify some subset of the provider's data. Most providers use the path part to identify individual tables. Individual segments in the path are often called "directories" although they do not refer to file directories. The right-most segment in a path is often called a "twig"

id

A unique numeric identifier for a single row in the subset of data identified by the preceding path part. Most providers recognize content URIs that contain an id part and give them special handling. A table that contains a column named _ID often expects the id part to be a particular value for that column.

Summary

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long millis) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object.
