监听ContentProvider中数据的变化

如果ContentProvider的访问者需要知道ContentProvider中的数据发生了变化，可以在ContentProvider 发生数据变化时调用getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null)来通知注册在此URI上的访问者，例子如下：

public class PersonContentProvider extends ContentProvider {

public Uri insert(Uri uri, ContentValues values) {

db.insert("person", "personid", values);

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

}

}

如果ContentProvider的访问者需要得到数据变化通知，必须使用ContentObserver对数据（数据采用uri描述）进行监听，当监听到数据变化通知时，系统就会调用ContentObserver的onChange()方法：

getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(Uri.parse("content://cn.itcast.providers.personprovider/person"),

        true, new PersonObserver(new Handler())); //Handler对象用来进行异步通信的，后续再介绍

public class PersonObserver extends ContentObserver{

public PersonObserver(Handler handler) {

super(handler);

  }

public void onChange(boolean selfChange) {

    //此处可以进行相应的业务处理

}

}

 

程序范例：

public class OtherActivity extends Activity {
    private static final String TAG = "OtherActivity";
   
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
       
        Uri insertUri = Uri.parse("content://cn.itcast.providers.personprovider/person");
        ContentResolver contentResolver = this.getContentResolver();
        //对指定uri进行监听，如果该uri代表的数据发生变化，就会调用PersonObserver中的onChange()
        contentResolver.registerContentObserver(insertUri, true, new PersonObserver(new Handler()));
    }
   
    private final class PersonObserver extends ContentObserver{
  public PersonObserver(Handler handler) {
   super(handler);
  }

  @Override
  public void onChange(boolean selfChange) {
   ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
   Uri selectUri = Uri.parse("content://cn.itcast.providers.personprovider/person");
   Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(selectUri, null, null, null, "personid desc");
   while(cursor.moveToNext()){
    int id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("personid"));
    String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("name"));
    int amount = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("amount"));
    Log.i(TAG, "id="+ id + ",name="+ name+ ",amount="+ amount);
   }
  }
     
    }

}
