Question

下面是记事本示例代码,为什么android:authorities = com.google.provider.NotePad不使用项目包名？究竟是什么android:authorities要求？

为什么android:authorities = com.google.provider.NotePad而不是使用项目包名？

我猜是因为谷歌喜欢它.它是一个提供商,它来自com.google.您的应用程序中也可以有多个提供程序,因此包名称可能不够.

什么是android:当局要求的是什么？

您的提供商的系统范围唯一标识符.或者更好的全球独特.所有提供程序都在系统中注册,它们必须是唯一的,否则无法安装想要使用相同名称的第二个应用程序.

您最后使用该字符串通过Uri与您的提供商进行通信

Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://" + "your.authoritiy.string")
