public static final class DocumentsContract.Document
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.provider.DocumentsContract.Document


Constants related to a document, including Cursor column names and flags.

A document can be either an openable stream (with a specific MIME type), or a directory containing additional documents (with the MIME_TYPE_DIR MIME type). A directory represents the top of a subtree containing zero or more documents, which can recursively contain even more documents and directories.

All columns are read-only to client applications.

Inherited methods

Constants

COLUMN_DISPLAY_NAME

Added in API level 19
public static final String COLUMN_DISPLAY_NAME

Display name of a document, used as the primary title displayed to a user. This column is required.

Type: STRING

Constant Value: "_display_name"

COLUMN_DOCUMENT_ID

Added in API level 19
public static final String COLUMN_DOCUMENT_ID

Unique ID of a document. This ID is both provided by and interpreted by a DocumentsProvider, and should be treated as an opaque value by client applications. This column is required.

Each document must have a unique ID within a provider, but that single document may be included as a child of multiple directories.

A provider must always return durable IDs, since they will be used to issue long-term URI permission grants when an application interacts with Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT and Intent#ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT.

Type: STRING

Constant Value: "document_id"

COLUMN_ICON

Added in API level 19
public static final String COLUMN_ICON

Specific icon resource ID for a document. This column is optional, and may be null to use a platform-provided default icon based on COLUMN_MIME_TYPE.

Type: INTEGER (int)

Constant Value: "icon"

COLUMN_LAST_MODIFIED

Added in API level 19
public static final String COLUMN_LAST_MODIFIED

Timestamp when a document was last modified, in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00.0 UTC. This column is required, and may be null if unknown. A DocumentsProvider can update this field using events from OnCloseListener or other reliable ParcelFileDescriptor transports.

Type: INTEGER (long)

Constant Value: "last_modified"

COLUMN_MIME_TYPE

Added in API level 19
public static final String COLUMN_MIME_TYPE

Concrete MIME type of a document. For example, "image/png" or "application/pdf" for openable files. A document can also be a directory containing additional documents, which is represented with the MIME_TYPE_DIR MIME type. This column is required.

Type: STRING

See also:

Constant Value: "mime_type"

COLUMN_SIZE

Added in API level 19
public static final String COLUMN_SIZE

Size of a document, in bytes, or null if unknown. This column is required.

Type: INTEGER (long)

Constant Value: "_size"

COLUMN_SUMMARY

Added in API level 19
public static final String COLUMN_SUMMARY

Summary of a document, which may be shown to a user. This column is optional, and may be null.

Type: STRING

Constant Value: "summary"

FLAG_DIR_BLOCKS_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE

Added in API level 30
public static final int FLAG_DIR_BLOCKS_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE

Flag indicating that a document is a directory that wants to block itself from being selected when the user launches an Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE intent. Individual files can still be selected when launched via other intents like Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT and Intent#ACTION_GET_CONTENT. Only valid when COLUMN_MIME_TYPE is MIME_TYPE_DIR.

Note that this flag only applies to the single directory to which it is applied. It does not block the user from selecting either a parent or child directory during an Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE request. In particular, the only way to guarantee that a specific directory can never be granted via an Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE request is to ensure that both it and all of its parent directories have set this flag.

Constant Value: 32768 (0x00008000)

FLAG_DIR_PREFERS_GRID

Added in API level 19
public static final int FLAG_DIR_PREFERS_GRID

Flag indicating that a directory prefers its contents be shown in a larger format grid. Usually suitable when a directory contains mostly pictures. Only valid when COLUMN_MIME_TYPE is MIME_TYPE_DIR.

See also:

Constant Value: 16 (0x00000010)

FLAG_DIR_PREFERS_LAST_MODIFIED

Added in API level 19
public static final int FLAG_DIR_PREFERS_LAST_MODIFIED

Flag indicating that a directory prefers its contents be sorted by COLUMN_LAST_MODIFIED. Only valid when COLUMN_MIME_TYPE is MIME_TYPE_DIR.

See also:

Constant Value: 32 (0x00000020)

FLAG_DIR_SUPPORTS_CREATE

Added in API level 19
public static final int FLAG_DIR_SUPPORTS_CREATE

Flag indicating that a document is a directory that supports creation of new files within it. Only valid when COLUMN_MIME_TYPE is MIME_TYPE_DIR.

Constant Value: 8 (0x00000008)

FLAG_PARTIAL

Added in API level 29
public static final int FLAG_PARTIAL

Flag indicating that a document is not complete, likely its contents are being downloaded. Partial files cannot be opened, copied, moved in the UI. But they can be deleted and retried if they represent a failed download.

See also:

Constant Value: 8192 (0x00002000)

FLAG_SUPPORTS_COPY
