public static final String PROVIDER ="org.dummy.provider" ;

public static void doTest() 
{
  testUri("content://"+PROVIDER +"/test/reverse/xb32") ; 
  testUri("content://"+PROVIDER +"/JobNames/YES/") ;
}

private static void testUri(String pStr) 
{
    Uri uri = Uri.parse(pStr); 
    Log.w("Test", "uri = " + pStr) ;    
    int result = uriMatcher.match(uri) ;    
    Log.w("Test", "result = " + result) ;  
    List list = uri.getPathSegments() ;   

    for (int i = 0  ; i < list.size() ; i++)
      Log.w("Test", "Segment" + i + " = " + uri.getPathSegments().get(i)) ;   
}
