public static final Creator<ProviderInfo> CREATOR

Fields

public String authority

The name provider is published under content://

public boolean grantUriPermissions

If true, additional permissions to specific Uris in this content provider can be granted, as per the grantUriPermissions attribute.

public int initOrder

Used to control initialization order of single-process providers running in the same process. Higher goes first.

public boolean isSyncable

Whether or not this provider is syncable.

public boolean multiprocess

If true, this content provider allows multiple instances of itself to run in different process. If false, a single instances is always run in processName.

public String readPermission

Optional permission required for read-only access this content provider.

public PatternMatcher[] uriPermissionPatterns

If non-null, these are the patterns that are allowed for granting URI permissions. Any URI that does not match one of these patterns will not allowed to be granted. If null, all URIs are allowed. The PackageManager.GET_URI_PERMISSION_PATTERNS flag must be specified for this field to be filled in.

Public Methods

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable's marshalled representation.

Returns
  • a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshalled by the Parcelable.

public String toString ()

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation simply concatenates the class name, the '@' sign and a hexadecimal representation of the object's hashCode(), that is, it is equivalent to the following expression: 

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

Returns
  • a printable representation of this object.
