ContentUris


open class ContentUris
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.content.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 (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.

appendId

Added in API level 1
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

Added in API level 1
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

Added in API level 29
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

Added in API level 1
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.
