android-contentprovider

There is a command to start an activity based on intent: am start . Also to send a broadcast: am broadcast . I think probably there should be a shell command to query a content provider, probably something like: query content://com.myapp.authority/path --where 'column=?' --arg 1 --order 'column desc' or similar. Is there one? There is a content command: usage: adb shell content [subcommand] [options] usage: adb shell content insert --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] --bind <BINDING> [--bind <BINDING>...] <URI> a content provider URI. <BINDING> binds a typed value to a column and is formatted:

I have a ContentProvider in my manifest, when I define them fully with hardcoded strings it works. E.g. <provider android:name="com.myprovider" android:authorities="com.myprovider"/> Works perfect, however the ContentProviders are in a library that gets used by multiple projects, and I don't want authority conflicts, so I attempted to do the following. <provider android:name="com.myprovider" android:authorities="@string/myProviderAuthority"> This way I should be able to define all my authorities in a single strings.xml file and not have conflicts between apps since I should be able to change

keeping my question short, I have created an application with 3 activities, where A - list of categories, B - list of items, C - single item. Data displayed in B and C is parsed from online XML. But, if I go through A -> B1 -> C, then back to A and then back to B1, I would like to have its data cached somewhere so I wouldn't have to request the XML again. I'm new to Android and Java programming, I've googled a lot and still can't find (or simply do not have an idea where to look) a way to do what I want. Would storing all received data in main activity A (HashMaps? ContentProviders?) and then

In an answer to a previous question of mine someone indicated that there is some flakiness (for lack of a better word) inherent in the Android class UriMatcher. Can anyone pinpoint the known issues with UriMatcher? I'm designing a Content Provider that relies on UriMatcher to match my Uris correctly (as opposed to incorrectly I suppose). Are there workarounds to the known issues? Or is there a better strategy for matching Uris? Example: Here is the code setting my UriMatcher private static final int MEMBER_COLLECTION_URI = 1; private static final int MEMBER_SINGLE_URI = 2; private static final

The content provider/ resolver APIs provide a complicated, but robust way of transferring data between processes using a URI and the openInputStream() and openOutputStream() methods. Custom content providers have the ability to override the openFile() method with custom code to effectively resolve a URI into a Stream ; however, the method signature of openFile() has a ParcelFileDescriptor return type and it is not clear how one might generate a proper representation for dynamically generated content to return from this method. Returning a memory mapped InputStream from a content provider? Are

What should I do to get my content provider to return the _count column with the count of records? The documentation says it is automatic, but maybe it's only taking about some built-in content provider. Running a query to the database seems not to return it. Will If you are using ContentProvider.query() a Cursor is returned. Call Cursor.getCount() to get a count of records in the returned cursor. saurabh If you are using contentProvider then you have to do it like count(*) AS count . If you use cursor.getCount() , that would not be as efficient as the above approach. With cursor.getCount()

I'm writing an RSS reader for Android. I've faced a certain difficulty which the problem I can't resolve since databases aren't my expertise.. So i figured out maybe one of you could help me out! I currently have 3 tables (Categories, links and feeds). My goal is too link a feed to multiple categories. Therefor I'm using a Link table. My databases is an Android ContentProvider (sqlite) and looks like the following: | Categories | | Links | | Feeds | |------------| |---------| |-------| | _ID | | Category| | _ID | | Title | | Feed | | Title | | URL | I currently wrote the following code in my

Where can I get the full list of Content Provider that Android offers out of the box? Specifically, I'm looking for a content provider that lists received SMS. The publicly available ones are listed in the android.provider package in the SDK documentation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/package-summary.html All other ones are undocumented, presumably for a reason. You are welcome to search the Android source code for those classes which extend ContentProvider , perhaps using Google Code Search . And, if you are working on improving the Android firmware, you can also
