Android的ContentProvider之三 监听ContentProvider数据改变

监听ContentProvider并随着ContentProvider的数据的改变而提供响应，这时就要利用ContentObserver

之前所涉及的ContentProvider实现insert、delete、update任意方法时，程序都会调用如下代码

getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null);

这行代码可用于通知所有注册在该Uri上的监听者：该ContentProvider所共享的数据发生了改变

监听ContentProvider数据改变的监听器需要继承ContentObserver类，并重写onChange(boolean selfChange)，CP数据发生改变时，onChange将被触发

注册监听器的方法如下：

registerContentObserver(Uri uri, boolean notifyForDescendents, ContentObserver observer),参数

• uri
• notifyForDescendents：若设为true，假如注册监听的Uri为content://abc，那么Uri为content://abc/xyz、content://abc/xyz/foo的数据改变时也会触发该监听器；若设为false，则只响应abc
• observer：监听器实例

getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(Uri.parse(“content://sms”),true, new SmsObserver(new Handler()));

上面代码中SmsObserver就是ContentObserver的子类

实例代码

public class MonitorSms extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate ( Bundle savedInstanceState ) {
        super . onCreate ( savedInstanceState );
        setContentView ( R . layout . main );
        getContentResolver ().registerContentObserver(
        Uri . parse ( "content://sms" ), true ,
        new SmsObserver( new Handler()));
    }
    private final class SmsObserver extends ContentObserver
    {
    public SmsObserver ( Handler handler )
    {
    super ( handler );
    }
    public void onChange ( boolean selfChange )
    {
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
    Uri . parse ( "content://sms/outbox" ),
    null , null , null , null );
    while ( cursor . moveToNext ())
    {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb .append( "address=" ).append( cursor
    . getString ( cursor . getColumnIndex ( "address" )));
    sb .append( ";subject=" ).append( cursor
    . getString ( cursor . getColumnIndex ( "subject" )));
    sb .append( ";body=" ).append( cursor
    . getString ( cursor . getColumnIndex ( "body" )));
    sb .append( ";time=" ).append( cursor
    . getString ( cursor . getColumnIndex ( "date" )));
    System . out .println( "Has sent SMS::" + sb .toString());
   
    }
    }

    }

}
