- contained in:
<provider>
- description:
- Defines the path and required permissions for a specific subset of data within a content provider. This element can be specified multiple times to supply multiple paths.
- attributes:
android:path
- A complete URI path for a subset of content provider data.
Permission can be granted only to the particular data identified by this path.
When used to provide search suggestion content, it is appended
with
/search_suggest_query
. android:pathPrefix
- The initial part of a URI path for a subset of content provider data. Permission can be granted to all data subsets with paths that share this initial part.
android:pathPattern
- A complete URI path for a subset of content provider data,
but one that can use the following wildcards:
- An asterisk (
*
). This matches a sequence of zero to many occurrences of the immediately preceding character. - A period followed by an asterisk (
.*
). This matches any sequence of zero or more characters.
Because the backslash (
\
) is used as an escape character when the string is read from XML, before it is parsed as a pattern, you need to double-escape. For example, a literal*
is written as "\\*
" and a literal\
is written as "\\\
". This is the same as what you write if constructing the string in the Java programming language.For more information about these types of patterns, see the descriptions of
PATTERN_LITERAL
,PATTERN_PREFIX
, andPATTERN_SIMPLE_GLOB
in thePatternMatcher
class. - An asterisk (
android:permission
- The name of a permission that clients need in order to read or write the
content provider's data. This attribute is a convenient way of setting a
single permission for both reading and writing. However, the
readPermission
andwritePermission
attributes take precedence over this one. android:readPermission
- A permission that clients need in order to query the content provider.
android:writePermission
- A permission that clients need in order to make changes to the data controlled by the content provider.
