DocumentsContract

public final class DocumentsContract
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.provider.DocumentsContract


Defines the contract between a documents provider and the platform.

To create a document provider, extend DocumentsProvider, which provides a foundational implementation of this contract.

All client apps must hold a valid URI permission grant to access documents, typically issued when a user makes a selection through Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, Intent#ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT, or Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE.

When issued, the intent will include the URI of the document as the intent data.

A provider wishing to provide support for this action should do two things.

  • Add an <intent-filter> matching this action.
  • When supplying information in DocumentsProvider#queryChildDocuments, include Document#FLAG_SUPPORTS_SETTINGS in the flags for each document that supports settings.

    buildChildDocumentsUri

    Added in API level 19
    public static Uri buildChildDocumentsUri (String authority, 
                    String parentDocumentId)

    Build URI representing the children of the target directory in a document provider. When queried, a provider will return zero or more rows with columns defined by Document.

    Parameters
    authority String

    parentDocumentId String: the document to return children for, which must be a directory with MIME type of Document#MIME_TYPE_DIR.

    Returns
    Uri

    buildChildDocumentsUriUsingTree

    Added in API level 21
    public static Uri buildChildDocumentsUriUsingTree (Uri treeUri,

    Build URI representing the children of the target directory in a document provider. When queried, a provider will return zero or more rows with columns defined by Document.

    However, instead of directly accessing the target directory, the returned URI will leverage access granted through a subtree URI, typically returned by Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE. The target directory must be a descendant (child, grandchild, etc) of the subtree.

    This is typically used to access documents under a user-selected directory tree, since it doesn't require the user to separately confirm each new document access.

    Parameters
    treeUri Uri: the subtree to leverage to gain access to the target document. The target directory must be a descendant of this subtree.

    parentDocumentId String: the document to return children for, which the caller may not have direct access to, and which must be a directory with MIME type of Document#MIME_TYPE_DIR.

    This is typically used to access documents under a user-selected directory tree, since it doesn't require the user to separately confirm each new document access.

    Parameters

                    Bundle options)

    Creates an intent for obtaining a web link for the specified document.

    Note, that due to internal limitations, if there is already a web link intent created for the specified document but with different options, then it may be overridden.

    Providers are required to show confirmation UI for all new permissions granted for the linked document.

    If list of recipients is known, then it should be passed in options as Intent#EXTRA_EMAIL as a list of email addresses. Note, that this is just a hint for the provider, which can ignore the list. In either case the provider is required to show a UI for letting the user confirm any new permission grants.

    Note, that the entire options bundle will be sent to the provider backing the passed uri. Make sure that you trust the provider before passing any sensitive information.

    Since this API may show a UI, it cannot be called from background.

    In order to obtain the Web Link use code like this:

    
     void onSomethingHappened() {
       IntentSender sender = DocumentsContract.createWebLinkIntent(...);
       if (sender != null) {
         startIntentSenderForResult(

             null, 0, 0, 0, null);
       }
     }
    
     (...)
    
     void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
       if (requestCode == WEB_LINK_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
