Remarks

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

Content URIs have the syntax

content://<em>authority</em>/<em>path</em>/<em>id</em>

<dl> <dt> content:</dt> <dd> The scheme portion of the URI. This is always set to android.content.ContentResolver#SCHEME_CONTENT ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT (value content://). </dd> <dt> <em>authority</em> </dt> <dd> 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. </dd> <dt> <em>path</em> </dt> <dd> 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 &quot;directories&quot; although they do not refer to file directories. The right-most segment in a path is often called a &quot;twig&quot; </dd> <dt> <em>id</em> </dt> <dd> 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. </dd> </dl>
