Hello there, I just found this beginner's forum, which is clearly me.
Is there a very clear tutorial on content providers and intent filters out there that's the "go to" one IF one can't really understand the official Android docs one? I've read it several times, slowly, and I can't really wrap my head around it. I need like visual pictures or something. In sample code, it seems like content providers should have a CONTENT_URI that it exposes to the world. But I don't see it. I see it instead in another class that calls the content provider, but nowhere in the content provider itself. It's in a class that's mainly only got constants in it. The content provider registers with the manifest, but how does manifest link the constant CONTENT_URI if it's defined outside the content provider class itself? Then, there is this mime type, and I'm told that the CONTENT_URI is unecessary most of the time. The mimetype is all you need in order to route an intent. But intents do not apply to content providers. But intent filters have a mimetype which is associated with an intent, so I'm basically confusing myself. I'd appreciate some help, and yes I anticipate it taking multiple replies :< -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
