package android.content;

import android.net.Uri;

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

Content URIs have the syntax

content://authority/path/id

content:
The scheme portion of the URI. This is always set to ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT (value content://).
authority
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.
path
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 "directories" although they do not refer to file directories. The right-most segment in a path is often called a "twig"
id
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.

public class ContentUris {
Converts the last path segment to a long.

This supports a common convention for content URIs where an ID is stored in the last segment.

Throws:
  • UnsupportedOperationException – if this isn't a hierarchical URI
  • NumberFormatException – if the last segment isn't a number
Returns:the long conversion of the last segment or -1 if the path is empty

public static long parseId(Uri contentUri) { String last = contentUri.getLastPathSegment(); return last == null ? -1 : Long.parseLong(last); }
Appends the given ID to the end of the path.
Params:
  • builder – to append the ID to
  • id – to append
Returns:the given builder
/** * Appends the given ID to the end of the path. * * @param builder to append the ID to * @param id to append * * @return the given builder */
public static Uri.Builder appendId(Uri.Builder builder, long id) { return builder.appendEncodedPath(String.valueOf(id)); }
Appends the given ID to the end of the path.
Params:
  • contentUri – to start with
  • id – to append
Returns:a new URI with the given ID appended to the end of the path
/** * Appends the given ID to the end of the path. * * @param contentUri to start with * @param id to append * * @return a new URI with the given ID appended to the end of the path */
