Is it ok to call the SQLiteDatabase update method in the insert() overridden method of a content provider? Basically it's fine, but since you didn't provided code, I just can post 2 possible ways for it First: // In your content provider public Uri insert(...) { long insertId = db.insert(...); if(insertId == -1) { // insert failed, do update db.update(...); } } Second: public Uri insert(...) { long insertId = db.insertWithOnConflict(table, null, values, SQLiteDatabase.CONFLICT_REPLACE) if(insertId == -1) { // insert and update/replace failed } } Check out SQLiteDatabase for reference on the

I have followed the below tutorial http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidSQLite/article.htm But getting this exception after clicking on "confirm" button 01-20 10:18:14.585: E/AndroidRuntime(2006): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown URL content://com.example.todos.contentprovider/todos 01-20 10:18:14.585: E/AndroidRuntime(2006): at android.content.ContentResolver.insert(ContentResolver.java:910) 01-20 10:18:14.585: E/AndroidRuntime(2006): at com.example.todos.TodoDetailActivity.saveState(TodoDetailActivity.java:122) 01-20 10:18:14.585: E/AndroidRuntime(2006): at com.example

I am using an open-srouce code from Google for an app called MyTracks. I am getting this error when the original app is installed on the phone. INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER I know that this is because of the android:authorities in the Manifest. here is the part of the Manifest: <provider android:name="com.google.android.apps.mytracks.content.MyTracksProvider" android:authorities="com.google.android.maps.mytracks" android:exported="true" android:readPermission="com.google.android.apps.mytracks.READ_TRACK_DATA" android:writePermission="com.google.android.apps.mytracks.WRITE_TRACK_DATA" />

I'm querying the ContactsContract.Data table to find phone records. I get an error when I create a new CursorLoader : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid column deleted My code: import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone; import android.provider.ContactsContract.Data; ... String[] projection = { Phone.DELETED, Phone.LOOKUP_KEY, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE, Phone.LABEL, Data.MIMETYPE, Data.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY }; // "mimetype = ? AND deleted = ?" String selection = Data.MIMETYPE + " = ? AND " Phone.DELETED + " = ?"; String[] args = {Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, "0"}; return

I have a an application that has 2 parts. A service which creates content. An application that uses the content Each of these run as different processes. The problem is that both of them share a database. And I frequently get database locked error, both when the service tries to write something and the UI is reading data. Also vice versa. How do go about this? The class used to access DB is a singleton class. But since both UI & the service are 2 different processes, there are 2 singletons I presume. So that doesn't help. Even synchronise won't help I suppose, since again because of 2

The the client side of a content provider consumer I can do something like this, to get a proper InputStream for reading the picture: InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(pictureUri); It is a nice API, and will on the server side, the actual content provider result in a call to: public ParcelFileDescriptor openFile(Uri uri, String mode) throws FileNotFoundException { // Open a proper ParcelFileDescriptor, most likely using openFileHelper(uri, mode) } But what if the picture mapped to the URI is not to be found on the filesystem, but as a memory resource, or generated on the

I'm currently writing an App which allows to extend the standart Android contacts / phonebook. The user can add some informations / content associated with a specific contact. I want the standart phonebook to show an link to my application on every contact which has additional data in my application. For example WhatsApp is able to do so. If somebody from you phonebook has an WhatsApp account the phonebook displays a small WhatsApp icon next to the contact. If you hit the icon WhatsApp starts automatically a chat with this specific person. My question is now how this can be achieved ? If
