First, move <provider> to be a child of <application>, not <activity>. Second, change android:exported=”true” to android:exported=”false”, until such time as you secure your ContentProvider. As it stands, once you fix the <provider> element location as noted above, any app can read and write anything in your provider, which is unlikely to be what the user … Read more
Got the reply from on the Google Group (http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/95110dd7a1e1e0b4): Access to Facebook friends via the contacts provider is restricted to a handful of system apps by the provider itself. Other applications cannot read that data. Therefore now I fetch an cache all contact names/id mappings via FB Graph api (http://graph.facebook.com/me/friends) and use that for the … Read more
I know this is an old topic but came across this issue today and we have been developing for quite some time so was not ready to go through all statics in our Content Provider Contract and change them, also because our content provider and DB are generated by the Mechanoid Plugin for Eclipse (Yes, … Read more
You can solve it by changing the value of android:authorities in your AndroidManifest.xml file. The reason for the error is that another application installed on your device already uses that same value for android:authorities.
My solution to this problem has actually been to avoid relying on a single FileProvider parsing multiple authorities. While this doesn’t directly address the question as stated, I’m posting it for posterity. I updated my library to leverage an empty subclass of FileProvider, so that the library’s updated manifest provider entry is now: <provider android:name=”.flow.email.screenshot.BugShakerFileProvider” … Read more
To get the conatct id using the phone number use the following code: import android.provider.ContactsContract.PhoneLookup; public String fetchContactIdFromPhoneNumber(String phoneNumber) { Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber)); Cursor cursor = this.getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[] { PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, PhoneLookup._ID }, null, null, null); String contactId = “”; if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { do { contactId = cursor.getString(cursor .getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup._ID)); } while (cursor.moveToNext()); } … Read more
The following solution works only for apps that are debuggable. It may not work well on all devices, since run-as command doesn’t work on some devices, especially with Jelly Bean. Create a *.bat file and copy the following scripts adb shell run-as [package] chmod 777 /data/data/[package]/databases/ adb shell run-as [package] chmod 777 /data/data/[package]/databases/[db_file_name] adb … Read more
This question relates to batch operation on a content provider. The example is modified from this related question. When creating a batch of operations first create a list of operations to perform using: ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> operations = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>(); then apply them to the content provider using the applyBatch method. ContentProviderResult[] results = this.getContentResolver().applyBatch(FooBar.AUTHORITY, operations); That … Read more
This is worked only in the device where google messaging is enabled : RCS message basically is stored in Uri.parse(“content://mms”) content providers.You can alternatively useTelephony.Mms.CONTENT_URI. You can read the RCS related message by passing the URI Uri.parse(“content://mms”) in the contentResolver. Actually mms content type read the both mms and RCS message. Sample code is given … Read more
