Content providers are one of the primary building blocks of Android applications, providing content to applications. They encapsulate data and provide it to applications through the single ContentResolver interface. A content provider is only required if you need to share data between multiple applications. For example, the contacts data is used by multiple applications and must be stored in a content provider. If you don't need to share data amongst multiple applications you can use a database directly via SQLiteDatabase.

When a request is made via a ContentResolver the system inspects the authority of the given URI and passes the request to the content provider registered with the authority. The content provider can interpret the rest of the URI however it wants. The UriMatcher class is helpful for parsing URIs.

The primary methods that need to be implemented are:

  • onCreate which is called to initialize the provider
  • query which returns data to the caller
  • insert which inserts new data into the content provider
  • update which updates existing data in the content provider
  • delete which deletes data from the content provider
  • getType which returns the MIME type of data in the content provider

Data access methods (such as insert and update) may be called from many threads at once, and must be thread-safe. Other methods (such as onCreate) are only called from the application main thread, and must avoid performing lengthy operations. See the method descriptions for their expected thread behavior.

Requests to ContentResolver are automatically forwarded to the appropriate ContentProvider instance, so subclasses don't have to worry about the details of cross-process calls.

Construct a ContentProvider instance. Content providers must be declared in the manifest, accessed with ContentResolver, and created automatically by the system, so applications usually do not create ContentProvider instances directly.

At construction time, the object is uninitialized, and most fields and methods are unavailable. Subclasses should initialize themselves in onCreate, not the constructor.

Content providers are created on the application main thread at application launch time. The constructor must not perform lengthy operations, or application startup will be delayed.

Implement this to initialize your content provider on startup. This method is called for all registered content providers on the application main thread at application launch time. It must not perform lengthy operations, or application startup will be delayed.

You should defer nontrivial initialization (such as opening, upgrading, and scanning databases) until the content provider is used (via query, insert, etc). Deferred initialization keeps application startup fast, avoids unnecessary work if the provider turns out not to be needed, and stops database errors (such as a full disk) from halting application launch.

If you use SQLite, SQLiteOpenHelper is a helpful utility class that makes it easy to manage databases, and will automatically defer opening until first use. If you do use SQLiteOpenHelper, make sure to avoid calling SQLiteOpenHelper.getReadableDatabase or SQLiteOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase from this method. (Instead, override SQLiteOpenHelper.onOpen to initialize the database when it is first opened.)

Returns:true if the provider was successfully loaded, false otherwise

Implement this to handle query requests from clients.

Apps targeting VERSION_CODES.O or higher should override query(Uri, String[], Bundle, CancellationSignal) and provide a stub implementation of this method.

This method can be called from multiple threads, as described in Processes and Threads.

Example client call:

// Request a specific record.
Cursor managedCursor = managedQuery(
ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI, 2),
projection,    // Which columns to return.
null,          // WHERE clause.
null,          // WHERE clause value substitution
People.NAME + " ASC");   // Sort order.
Example implementation:

// SQLiteQueryBuilder is a helper class that creates the
// proper SQL syntax for us.
SQLiteQueryBuilder qBuilder = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
// Set the table we're querying.
qBuilder.setTables(DATABASE_TABLE_NAME);
// If the query ends in a specific record number, we're
// being asked for a specific record, so set the
// WHERE clause in our query.
if((URI_MATCHER.match(uri)) == SPECIFIC_MESSAGE){
qBuilder.appendWhere("_id=" + uri.getPathLeafId());
}
// Make the query.
Cursor c = qBuilder.query(mDb,
projection,
selection,
selectionArgs,
groupBy,
having,
sortOrder);
c.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);
return c;
Params:
  • uri – The URI to query. This will be the full URI sent by the client; if the client is requesting a specific record, the URI will end in a record number that the implementation should parse and add to a WHERE or HAVING clause, specifying that _id value.
  • projection – The list of columns to put into the cursor. If null all columns are included.
  • selection – A selection criteria to apply when filtering rows. If null then all rows are included.
  • selectionArgs – You may include ?s in selection, which will be replaced by the values from selectionArgs, in order that they appear in the selection. The values will be bound as Strings.
  • sortOrder – How the rows in the cursor should be sorted. If null then the provider is free to define the sort order.
Returns:a Cursor or null.

Implement this to handle query requests from clients with support for cancellation.

Apps targeting VERSION_CODES.O or higher should override query(Uri, String[], Bundle, CancellationSignal) instead of this method.

This method can be called from multiple threads, as described in Processes and Threads.

Example client call:

// Request a specific record.

projection,    // Which columns to return.
null,          // WHERE clause.

return c;

If you implement this method then you must also implement the version of query(Uri, String[], String, String[], String) that does not take a cancellation signal to ensure correct operation on older versions of the Android Framework in which the cancellation signal overload was not available.

Params:
  • uri – The URI to query. This will be the full URI sent by the client; if the client is requesting a specific record, the URI will end in a record number that the implementation should parse and add to a WHERE or HAVING clause, specifying that _id value.
  • projection – The list of columns to put into the cursor. If null all columns are included.
  • selection – A selection criteria to apply when filtering rows. If null then all rows are included.
  • selectionArgs – You may include ?s in selection, which will be replaced by the values from selectionArgs, in order that they appear in the selection. The values will be bound as Strings.
  • sortOrder – How the rows in the cursor should be sorted. If null then the provider is free to define the sort order.
  • cancellationSignal – A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. If the operation is canceled, then OperationCanceledException will be thrown when the query is executed.
Returns:a Cursor or null.

Implement this to handle query requests where the arguments are packed into a Bundle. Arguments may include traditional SQL style query arguments. When present these should be handled according to the contract established in

Traditional SQL arguments can be found in the bundle using the following keys:

  • ContentResolver.QUERY_ARG_SQL_SELECTION
  • ContentResolver.QUERY_ARG_SQL_SELECTION_ARGS
  • ContentResolver.QUERY_ARG_SQL_SORT_ORDER

    This method can be called from multiple threads, as described in Processes and Threads.

    Example client call:

    Bundle queryArgs = new Bundle();
    queryArgs.putInt(ContentResolver.QUERY_ARG_OFFSET, 30);
    queryArgs.putInt(ContentResolver.QUERY_ARG_LIMIT, 20);

    Implement this to handle requests for the MIME type of the data at the given URI. The returned MIME type should start with vnd.android.cursor.item for a single record, or vnd.android.cursor.dir/ for multiple items. This method can be called from multiple threads, as described in Processes and Threads.

    Note that there are no permissions needed for an application to access this information; if your content provider requires read and/or write permissions, or is not exported, all applications can still call this method regardless of their access permissions. This allows them to retrieve the MIME type for a URI when dispatching intents.

    Params:
    • uri – the URI to query.
    Returns:a MIME type string, or null if there is no type.
    /** * Implement this to handle requests for the MIME type of the data at the * given URI.

    Implement this to support canonicalization of URIs that refer to your content provider. A canonical URI is one that can be transported across devices, backup/restore, and other contexts, and still be able to refer to the same data item. Typically this is implemented by adding query params to the URI allowing the content provider to verify that an incoming canonical URI references the same data as it was originally intended for and, if it doesn't, to find that data (if it exists) in the current environment.

    For example, if the content provider holds people and a normal URI in it is created with a row index into that people database, the cananical representation may have an additional query param at the end which specifies the name of the person it is intended for. Later calls into the provider with that URI will look up the row of that URI's base index and, if it doesn't match or its entry's name doesn't match the name in the query param, perform a query on its database to find the correct row to operate on.

    If you implement support for canonical URIs, all incoming calls with URIs (including this one) must perform this verification and recovery of any canonical URIs they receive. In addition, you must also implement uncanonicalize to strip the canonicalization of any of these URIs.

    The default implementation of this method returns null, indicating that canonical URIs are not supported.

    Params:
    • url – The Uri to canonicalize.
    Returns:Return the canonical representation of url, or null if canonicalization of that Uri is not supported.

    Remove canonicalization from canonical URIs previously returned by canonicalize. For example, if your implementation is to add a query param to canonicalize a URI, this method can simply trip any query params on the URI. The default implementation always returns the same url that was passed in.
    Params:
    • url – The Uri to remove any canonicalization from.
    Returns:Return the non-canonical representation of url, return the url as-is if there is nothing to do, or return null if the data identified by the canonical representation can not be found in the current environment.

    Implement this to support refresh of content identified by uri. By default, this method returns false; providers who wish to implement this should return true to signal the client that the provider has tried refreshing with its own implementation.

    This allows clients to request an explicit refresh of content identified by uri.

    Client code should only invoke this method when there is a strong indication (such as a user initiated pull to refresh gesture) that the content is stale.

    Remember to send ContentResolver.notifyChange(Uri, ContentObserver) notifications when content changes.

    Params:
    • uri – The Uri identifying the data to refresh.
    • args – Additional options from the client. The definitions of these are specific to the content provider being called.
    • cancellationSignal – A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. For example, if you called refresh on a particular uri, you should call CancellationSignal.throwIfCanceled() to check whether the client has canceled the refresh request.
    Returns:true if the provider actually tried refreshing.

    The implementation is responsible for parsing out a row ID at the end of the URI, if a specific row is being deleted. That is, the client would pass in content://contacts/people/22 and the implementation is responsible for parsing the record number (22) when creating a SQL statement.

    Override this to handle requests to open a file blob. The default implementation always throws FileNotFoundException. This method can be called from multiple threads, as described in Processes and Threads.

    This method returns a ParcelFileDescriptor, which is returned directly to the caller. This way large data (such as images and documents) can be returned without copying the content.

    The returned ParcelFileDescriptor is owned by the caller, so it is their responsibility to close it when done. That is, the implementation of this method should create a new ParcelFileDescriptor for each call.

    If opened with the exclusive "r" or "w" modes, the returned ParcelFileDescriptor can be a pipe or socket pair to enable streaming of data. Opening with the "rw" or "rwt" modes implies a file on disk that supports seeking.

    If you need to detect when the returned ParcelFileDescriptor has been closed, or if the remote process has crashed or encountered some other error, you can use ParcelFileDescriptor.open(File, int, Handler, OnCloseListener), ParcelFileDescriptor.createReliablePipe(), or ParcelFileDescriptor.createReliableSocketPair().

    If you need to return a large file that isn't backed by a real file on disk, such as a file on a network share or cloud storage service, consider using StorageManager.openProxyFileDescriptor(int, ProxyFileDescriptorCallback, Handler) which will let you to stream the content on-demand.

    For use in Intents, you will want to implement getType to return the appropriate MIME type for the data returned here with the same URI. This will allow intent resolution to automatically determine the data MIME type and select the appropriate matching targets as part of its operation.

    For better interoperability with other applications, it is recommended that for any URIs that can be opened, you also support queries on them containing at least the columns specified by OpenableColumns. You may also want to support other common columns if you have additional meta-data to supply, such as MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED in MediaColumns.

    Params:
    • uri – The URI whose file is to be opened.
    • mode – Access mode for the file. May be "r" for read-only access, "rw" for read and write access, or "rwt" for read and write access that truncates any existing file.
    Throws:

    This is like openFile, but can be implemented by providers that need to be able to return sub-sections of files, often assets inside of their .apk. This method can be called from multiple threads, as described in Processes and Threads.

    The default implementation compares the given mimeType against the result of getType(Uri) and, if they match, simply calls openAssetFile(Uri, String).

    See ClipData for examples of the use and implementation of this method.

    The returned AssetFileDescriptor can be a pipe or socket pair to enable streaming of data.

    For better interoperability with other applications, it is recommended that for any URIs that can be opened, you also support queries on them containing at least the columns specified by OpenableColumns. You may also want to support other common columns if you have additional meta-data to supply, such as MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED in MediaColumns.

    Params:
    • uri – The data in the content provider being queried.
    • mimeTypeFilter – The type of data the client desires. May be a pattern, such as */*, if the caller does not have specific type requirements; in this case the content provider will pick its best type matching the pattern.
    • opts – Additional options from the client. The definitions of these are specific to the content provider being called.
    • signal – A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. For example, if you are downloading a file from the network to service a "rw" mode request, you should periodically call CancellationSignal.throwIfCanceled() to check whether the client has canceled the request and abort the download.
    Throws:
    • FileNotFoundException – Throws FileNotFoundException if there is no file associated with the given URI or the mode is invalid.
    • SecurityException – Throws SecurityException if the caller does not have permission to access the data.
    • IllegalArgumentException – Throws IllegalArgumentException if the content provider does not support the requested MIME type.
    See Also:
    Returns:Returns a new AssetFileDescriptor from which the client can read data of the desired type.

    Call a provider-defined method. This can be used to implement interfaces that are cheaper and/or unnatural for a table-like model.

    WARNING: The framework does no permission checking on this entry into the content provider besides the basic ability for the application to get access to the provider at all. For example, it has no idea whether the call being executed may read or write data in the provider, so can't enforce those individual permissions. Any implementation of this method must do its own permission checks on incoming calls to make sure they are allowed.

    Implement this to shut down the ContentProvider instance. You can then invoke this method in unit tests.

    Android normally handles ContentProvider startup and shutdown automatically. You do not need to start up or shut down a ContentProvider. When you invoke a test method on a ContentProvider, however, a ContentProvider instance is started and keeps running after the test finishes, even if a succeeding test instantiates another ContentProvider. A conflict develops because the two instances are usually running against the same underlying data source (for example, an sqlite database).

    Implementing shutDown() avoids this conflict by providing a way to terminate the ContentProvider. This method can also prevent memory leaks from multiple instantiations of the ContentProvider, and it can ensure unit test isolation by allowing you to completely clean up the test fixture before moving on to the next test.
