当应用继承ContentProvider类,并重写该类用于提供数据和存储数据的方法,就可以向其他应用共享其数据。以前我们学习过文件的操作模式,通过指定文件的操作模式为Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE 或Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE同样可以对外共享数据,但数据的访问方式会因数据存储的方式而不同,如:采用xml文件对外共享数据,需要进行xml解析来读写数据;采用sharedpreferences共享数据,需要使用sharedpreferences API读写数据。而使用ContentProvider共享数据的好处是统一了数据访问方式。
当应用需要通过ContentProvider对外共享数据时,第一步需要继承ContentProvider并重写下面方法:
publicclass PersonContentProviderextends ContentProvider{
public booleanonCreate()
public Uri insert(Uri uri,ContentValuesvalues)
public intdelete(Uri uri,String selection, String[] selectionArgs)
public intupdate(Uri uri,ContentValuesvalues, String selection, String[] selectionArgs)
public Cursor query(Uri uri,String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs,String sortOrder)
public String getType(Uriuri)}
第二步需要在AndroidManifest.xml使用<provider>对该ContentProvider进行配置,为了能让其他应用找到该ContentProvider , ContentProvider 采用了authorities(主机名/域名)对它进行唯一标识,你可以把 ContentProvider看作是一个网站(想想,网站也是提供数据者),authorities 就是他的域名:
<manifest .... >
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon"android:label="@string/app_name">
<providerandroid:name=".PersonContentProvider"android:authorities="cn.cloud.providers.personprovider"/>
</application>
</manifest>
注意:一旦应用继承了ContentProvider类,后面我们就会把这个应用称为ContentProvider(内容提供者)。
