ContentUris
public class ContentUris
extends Object
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.

Inherited methods |
From class java.lang.Object Object | clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. | boolean | equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. | void | finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. | final Class<?> | getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object . | int | hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. | final void | notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. | final void | notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. | String | toString() Returns a string representation of the object. | final void | wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. | final void | wait(long timeoutMillis) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. | final void | wait() Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted. | |

Public methods
appendId
public static Uri.Builder appendId (Uri.Builder builder, long id)
Appends the given ID to the end of the path.
Parameters |
builder | Uri.Builder : to append the ID to This value cannot be null . |
id | long : to append |
Returns |
Uri.Builder | the given builder This value cannot be null . |
parseId
public static long parseId (Uri contentUri)
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.
Parameters |
contentUri | Uri : This value cannot be null . |
Returns |
long | the long conversion of the last segment or -1 if the path is empty |
removeId
public static Uri removeId (Uri contentUri)
Removes any ID from the end of the path.
Parameters |
contentUri | Uri : that ends with an ID This value cannot be null . |
Returns |
Uri | a new URI with the ID removed from the end of the path This value cannot be null . |
withAppendedId
public static Uri withAppendedId (Uri contentUri, long id)
Appends the given ID to the end of the path.
Parameters |
contentUri | Uri : to start with This value cannot be null . |
id | long : to append |
