Class Overview

Immutable URI reference. A URI reference includes a URI and a fragment, the component of the URI following a '#'. Builds and parses URI references which conform to RFC 2396.

In the interest of performance, this class performs little to no validation. Behavior is undefined for invalid input. This class is very forgiving--in the face of invalid input, it will return garbage rather than throw an exception unless otherwise specified.

Constants

public static final Creator<Uri> CREATOR

Reads Uris from Parcels.

public static final Uri EMPTY

The empty URI, equivalent to "".

Public Methods

public abstract Uri.Builder buildUpon ()

Constructs a new builder, copying the attributes from this Uri.

public int compareTo (Uri other)

Compares the string representation of this Uri with that of another.

public static String decode (String s)

Decodes '%'-escaped octets in the given string using the UTF-8 scheme. Replaces invalid octets with the unicode replacement character ("\\uFFFD").

Parameters
s encoded string to decode
Returns
  • the given string with escaped octets decoded, or null if s is null

public static String encode (String s)

Encodes characters in the given string as '%'-escaped octets using the UTF-8 scheme. Leaves letters ("A-Z", "a-z"), numbers ("0-9"), and unreserved characters ("_-!.~'()*") intact. Encodes all other characters.

Parameters
s string to encode
Returns
  • an encoded version of s suitable for use as a URI component, or null if s is null

public static String encode (String s, String allow)

Encodes characters in the given string as '%'-escaped octets using the UTF-8 scheme. Leaves letters ("A-Z", "a-z"), numbers ("0-9"), and unreserved characters ("_-!.~'()*") intact. Encodes all other characters with the exception of those specified in the allow argument.

Parameters
s string to encode
allow set of additional characters to allow in the encoded form, null if no characters should be skipped
Returns
  • an encoded version of s suitable for use as a URI component, or null if s is null

public boolean equals (Object o)

Compares this Uri to another object for equality. Returns true if the encoded string representations of this Uri and the given Uri are equal. Case counts. Paths are not normalized. If one Uri specifies a default port explicitly and the other leaves it implicit, they will not be considered equal.

Parameters
o the object to compare this instance with.
Returns
  • true if the specified object is equal to this Object; false otherwise.

public static Uri fromFile (File file)

Creates a Uri from a file. The URI has the form "file://". Encodes path characters with the exception of '/'.

Example: "file:///tmp/android.txt"

Returns
  • a Uri for the given file
Throws
NullPointerException if file is null

public static Uri fromParts (String scheme, String ssp, String fragment)

Creates an opaque Uri from the given components. Encodes the ssp which means this method cannot be used to create hierarchical URIs.

Parameters
scheme of the URI
ssp scheme-specific-part, everything between the scheme separator (':') and the fragment separator ('#'), which will get encoded
fragment fragment, everything after the '#', null if undefined, will get encoded
Returns
  • Uri composed of the given scheme, ssp, and fragment
Throws
NullPointerException if scheme or ssp is null

public abstract String getAuthority ()

Gets the decoded authority part of this URI. For server addresses, the authority is structured as follows: [ userinfo '@' ] host [ ':' port ]

Examples: "google.com", "bob@google.com:80"

Returns
  • the authority for this URI or null if not present

public abstract String getEncodedAuthority ()

Gets the encoded authority part of this URI. For server addresses, the authority is structured as follows: [ userinfo '@' ] host [ ':' port ]

public abstract String getEncodedFragment ()

Gets the encoded fragment part of this URI, everything after the '#'.
