1.ContentProvider主要用于对外共享数据。其他应用可以通过uri进行数据的访问甚至是增删改查等操作。
以下小例进行简要说明
public class PersonProvider extends ContentProvider{ //DBOpenHelper 工具类,继承于SQLiteOpenHelper 此文省略代码 private DBOpenHelper helper; private static final UriMatcher MATCHER = new UriMatcher( UriMatcher.NO_MATCH); private static final int PERSONS = 1; private static final int PERSON = 2; /** * 在AndroidManifest.xml中注册provider * <provider android:name="com.example.sqlite.PersonProvider" * android:authorities="com.example.providers.personprovider"/> */ static { MATCHER.addURI("com.example.providers.personprovider", "person", PERSONS); MATCHER.addURI("com.example.providers.personprovider", "person/#", PERSON); } /** * 删除操作 */ @Override public int delete(Uri uri, String selection, String[] selectionArgs) { SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase(); int num = 0; switch (MATCHER.match(uri)) { case 1: db.delete("person", selection, selectionArgs); break; case 2: long rowid = ContentUris.parseId(uri); String where = "personid=" + rowid; if (selection != null && !"".equals(selection.trim())) { where += " and " + selection; } num = db.delete("person", where, selectionArgs); break; default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("this id Unknown Uri:" + uri); } return num; } /** * 该方法返回当前uri所代表数据的MIME类型, * 若操作的数据属于集合类型,那么MIME类型字符串应该以vnd.android.cursor.dir开头 * 若操作的数据属于非集合类型,那么MIME类型字符串应该以vnd.android.cursor.item开头 */ @Override public String getType(Uri uri) { switch (MATCHER.match(uri)) { case 1: return "vnd.android.cursor.dir/person"; case 2: return "vnd.android.cursor.item/person"; default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("this id Unknown Uri:" + uri); } } /** * 插入操作 */ @Override public Uri insert(Uri uri, ContentValues values) { SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase(); switch (MATCHER.match(uri)) { case 1: long rowid = db.insert("person", "name", values);// 可以当作是数据表中的主键值 // content://cn.itcast.providers.personprovider/person/10 // Uri // insertUri=Uri.parse("content://cn.itcast.providers.personprovider/person/"+rowid); Uri insertUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(uri, rowid); return insertUri; default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("this id Unknown Uri:" + uri); } } @Override public boolean onCreate() { helper = new DBOpenHelper(this.getContext()); return true; } /** * 查询操作 */ @Override public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) { SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase(); switch (MATCHER.match(uri)) { case 1: return db.query("person", projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, sortOrder); case 2: long rowid = ContentUris.parseId(uri); String where = "personid=" + rowid; if (selection != null && !"".equals(selection.trim())) { where += " and " + selection; } return db.query("person", projection, where, selectionArgs, null, null, sortOrder); default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("this id Unknown Uri:" + uri); } } /** * 更新操作 */ @Override public int update(Uri uri, ContentValues values, String selection, String[] selectionArgs) { SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase(); int num = 0; switch (MATCHER.match(uri)) { case 1: db.update("person", values, selection, selectionArgs); break; case 2: long rowid = ContentUris.parseId(uri); String where = "personid=" + rowid; if (selection != null && !"".equals(selection.trim())) { where += " and " + selection; } num = db.update("person", values, where, selectionArgs); break; default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("this id Unknown Uri:" + uri); } return num; } }
开发者的每一个内容提供者都要继承ContentProvider类,然后实现增删改查和onCreate、getType方法。
其中与内容提供者相关的其他常用api简要列举如下:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://com.example.providers.personprovider/person"); ContentResolver resolver = this.getContext().getContentResolver(); ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put("name", "test"); values.put("phone", "18688888888"); resolver.insert(uri, values); resolver.delete(uri, null, null); resolver.update(uri, values, null, null); Cursor cursor=resolver.query(uri, null, null, null, "personid asc"); //根据uri获取id //类似于根据content://cn.itcast.providers.personprovider/person/10得到10 long rowid = ContentUris.parseId(uri); //对uri添加id //类似于对content://cn.itcast.providers.personprovider/person得到 content://cn.itcast.providers.personprovider/person/10 Uri insertUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(uri, rowid);
由于仅仅是记录学习笔记,此实例比较简单,谢谢提出意见。
2.另外在android中数据存储方式主要有以下几种方式:
1)SharedPreferences 一般用于用户喜好参数的存储
2)SQLite数据库 较大型数据 一般存在ExternalStorage SDCard
3) ContentProvider 一般用于对外共享数据
4) 文件 File 类似于java File IO InputStream、OutputStream
5) 网络方式
