ProviderInfo

Kotlin |Java

public final class ProviderInfo
extends ComponentInfo implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
↳	android.content.pm.PackageItemInfo
	↳	android.content.pm.ComponentInfo
		↳	android.content.pm.ProviderInfo

Holds information about a specific content provider. This is returned by PackageManager.resolveContentProvider().

Summary

Constants
`int`	`FLAG_SINGLE_USER` Bit in `flags`: If set, a single instance of the provider will run for all users on the device.

Inherited constants

From interface android.os.Parcelable

`int`	`CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int`	`PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `writeToParcel(Parcel, int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`".

Fields
`public static final Creator<ProviderInfo>`	`CREATOR`
`public String`	`authority` The name provider is published under content://
`public int`	`flags` Options that have been set in the provider declaration in the manifest.
`public boolean`	`forceUriPermissions` If true, always apply URI permission grants, as per the `forceUriPermissions` attribute.
`public boolean`	`grantUriPermissions` If true, additional permissions to specific Uris in this content provider can be granted, as per the `grantUriPermissions` attribute.
`public int`	`initOrder` Used to control initialization order of single-process providers running in the same process.
`public boolean`	`isSyncable` This field was deprecated in API level 15. This flag is now being ignored. The current way to make a provider syncable is to provide a SyncAdapter service for a given provider/account type.
`public boolean`	`multiprocess` If true, this content provider allows multiple instances of itself to run in different process.
`public PathPermission[]`	`pathPermissions` If non-null, these are path-specific permissions that are allowed for accessing the provider.
