ContentProvider既可以与调用方处在同一进程,也可以运行在单独进程中,完全取决于ContentProvider所处的aplication的进程信息。因此假如ContentProvider运行在单独的进程中,那么调用ContentProvider将会涉及到IPC通信。
既然涉及到IPC通信,那么ContentProvider一定继承自IInterface,这个IInterface就是IContentProvider,其主要的接口方法如下,
- public IBulkCursor bulkQuery(Uri url, String[] projection,
- String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder, IContentObserver observer,
- CursorWindow window) throws RemoteException;
- public Cursor query(Uri url, String[] projection, String selection,
- String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) throws RemoteException;
- public String getType(Uri url) throws RemoteException;
- public Uri insert(Uri url, ContentValues initialValues)
- throws RemoteException;
- public int bulkInsert(Uri url, ContentValues[] initialValues) throws RemoteException;
- public int delete(Uri url, String selection, String[] selectionArgs)
- throws RemoteException;
- public int update(Uri url, ContentValues values, String selection,
- String[] selectionArgs) throws RemoteException;
- public ParcelFileDescriptor openFile(Uri url, String mode)
- throws RemoteException, FileNotFoundException;
- public AssetFileDescriptor openAssetFile(Uri url, String mode)
- throws RemoteException, FileNotFoundException;
- public ContentProviderResult[] applyBatch(ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> operations)
- throws RemoteException, OperationApplicationException;
但是阅读ContentProvider代码时,会发现
- public abstract boolean onCreate();
- public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig);
- public void onLowMemory();
这几个方法并不在IContentProvider中声明,因此千万注意它们在运行时并不是处在AndroidManifest.xml中声明时的进程中。而是处在调用ContentProvider的应用的进程中的。因此千万不要在onCreate中添加你期望运行在ContentProvider的进程的代码。
