ContentUris
  public
  
  
  
  class
  ContentUris
  
    extends Object
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
  Utility methods useful for working with Uri objects
 that use the "content" (content://) scheme.
   Content URIs have the syntax
   content://authority/path/id
   - 
       content:
- 
       The scheme portion of the URI. This is always set to ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT(valuecontent://).
- 
       authority
   
- 
       A string that identifies the entire content provider. All the content URIs for the provider
       start with this string. To guarantee a unique authority, providers should consider
       using an authority that is the same as the provider class' package identifier.
   
- 
       path
   
- 
       Zero or more segments, separated by a forward slash (/), that identify
       some subset of the provider's data. Most providers use the path part to identify
       individual tables. Individual segments in the path are often called
       "directories" although they do not refer to file directories. The right-most
       segment in a path is often called a "twig"
- 
       id
   
- 
       A unique numeric identifier for a single row in the subset of data identified by the
       preceding path part. Most providers recognize content URIs that contain an id part
       and give them special handling. A table that contains a column named _IDoften expects the id part to be a particular value for that column.
