    ContentUris
    open class ContentUris
    
    Utility methods useful for working with android.net.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(valuecontent://).
-  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 _IDoften expects the id part to be a particular value for that column.

      appendId
      
      open static fun appendId(
    builder: Uri.Builder, 
    id: Long
): Uri.Builder
      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 | 
        
      
      
        
          
            | Return | 
          
            | Uri.Builder | the given builder This value cannot be null. | 
        
      
     
    
      parseId
      
      open static fun parseId(contentUri: Uri): Long
      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. | 
        
      
      
        
          
            | Return | 
          
            | Long | the long conversion of the last segment or -1 if the path is empty | 
        
      
      
        
          
            | Exceptions | 
          
            | java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException | if this isn't a hierarchical URI | 
          
            | java.lang.NumberFormatException | if the last segment isn't a number | 
        
      
     
    
      removeId
      
      open static fun removeId(contentUri: Uri): Uri
      Removes any ID from the end of the path.
      
        
          
            | Parameters | 
          
            | contentUri | Uri: that ends with an ID This value cannot be null. | 
        
      
      
        
          
            | Return | 
          
            | Uri | a new URI with the ID removed from the end of the path This value cannot be null. | 
        
      
      
        
          
            | Exceptions | 
          
            | java.lang.IllegalArgumentException | when the given URI has no ID to remove from the end of the path | 
        
      
     
    
      withAppendedId
      
      open static fun withAppendedId(
    contentUri: Uri, 
    id: Long
): Uri
      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 | 
        
      
      
        
          
            | Return | 
          
            | Uri | a new URI with the given ID appended to the end of the path This value cannot be null. |
