Got Unknown URL content in Android

I am new to Android. I wanted to practice my knowledge about Content Provide, but my app somehow crush and tell me there is an unknown URL content. I try to search for solution but still can't fix the problem...
The logcat message:

Can someone help me? :(

I have fixed the problem!!
My provider in Mainifest is that:
<provider
android:authorities="com.example.punchinandout"
android:name=".data.TimeProvider"
android:exported="false"/>
And I change to :
<provider
android:authorities="com.example.punchinandout.data"
android:name=".data.TimeProvider"
android:exported="false"/>
Let the authorities be the same as the authority in Contract class and the problem is fixed!
Sorry for not placed the Mainifest in the question at first time as I had no idea where the problem in my app before.

Android DBFlow and CursorLoader

Anyone knows how to use cursorLoader with DBFlow ? I seen this issue but this is not added to DBFlow.
Thanks.

You can find official docs here or you can implement it the way i have
DBFlow ver used 3
//I have edited my answer & provided easier way for content provider part below
add this to manifest inside application
<provider
android:authorities="com.hashx19.pristinekashmir.mycontentprovider"
android:exported="false"

Create java file named MyContentProvider & copy below code in it
& replace AUTHORITY ,ENDPOINT, AppDatabase(Your database name) ,TableClassName as per you project.

return cursorLoader;
}
#Override

}catch (NullPointerException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}catch (CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException c){
c.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader) {

editted
Figured out easier way to implement content provider .
add this to your manifest / or modify this way if you already have added Provider code .
modify your AppDatabase Class as
#ContentProvider(authority = AppDatabase.AUTHORITY,
database = AppDatabase.class,
baseContentUri = AppDatabase.BASE_CONTENT_URI)
#Database(name = AppDatabase.NAME, version = AppDatabase.VERSION)
public class AppDatabase {
public static final String NAME = "AppDatabase"; // we will add the .db extension
public static final int VERSION = 2;
public static final String AUTHORITY = "com.hashx19.pristinekashmir.dbflowcontentprovider";
public static final String BASE_CONTENT_URI = "content://"; }
modify each table you want to use as provider as
#TableEndpoint(name = PostData.ENDPOINT, contentProvider = AppDatabase.class)
#Table(database = AppDatabase.class ,allFields = true ,name = PostData.ENDPOINT)
public class PostData extends BaseModel {
public static final String ENDPOINT = "PostData";
#ContentUri(path = ENDPOINT, type = ContentUri.ContentType.VND_MULTIPLE + ENDPOINT)
public static final Uri CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse(AppDatabase.BASE_CONTENT_URI + AppDatabase.AUTHORITY
+ "/" + ENDPOINT);
#PrimaryKey
public int id;
public String image;
}
For using Content provider as in Cursor Loader use TableName.CONTENT_URI as in this case
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(getContext(),PostData.CONTENT_URI,projection,null,null,null);

Content provider uris from one app to other access

I have created a content uri from one app :
content://SendDataProvider/bookevent
i am able to insert the values into it.
like :
content://SendDataProvider/bookevent/1
content://SendDataProvider/bookevent/2 etc...
but when i call it to other app for geting all record from this URI i use
String bookContentDataLog = "content://SendDataProvider/bookevent";
Uri bookrecord = Uri.parse(bookContentDataLog);
Cursor cursor = BookShelfActivity.this.getContentResolver().query(
bookrecord, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { // I got Null pointer exception here
String sessionId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(BOOK_COLUMN_SESSIONID));
String magId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(BOOK_COLUMN_MAG_ID));
}
I debug it and i found that
BookShelfActivity.this.getContentResolver().query(
bookrecord, null, null, null, null);
this return null value to cursor.
How i get all value inserted to this "content://SendDataProvider/bookevent"?
============== I have Used method to insert to uri ===================
1) Class Name and variables
public class SendDataProvider extends ContentProvider {
public SendDataProvider(Context c) {
this.context = c;//getContext();
BookDb dbHelper = new BookDb(context);
db = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
}
2) content provider class methode :===
#Override
public Uri insert(Uri uri, ContentValues contentValues) throws NullPointerException {
Log.e("SendDataProvider #Override inserted call","Uri insert");
long rowID = db.insert(BOOK_TABLE_NAME, null, contentValues);
Log.e("SendDataProvider #Override inserted ID","Uri insert ID"+rowID);
if (rowID > 0) {
Uri _uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(CONTENT_URI, rowID);
this.context.getContentResolver().notifyChange(_uri, null);
return _uri;
}
throw new SQLException("Failed to add a record into " + uri);
}
3) query
#Override
public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection,
String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) {
SQLiteQueryBuilder qb = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
qb.setTables(BOOK_TABLE_NAME);
switch (uriMatcher.match(uri)) {
case uriCode:
qb.setProjectionMap(this.values);
break;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown URI " + uri);
}
if (sortOrder == null || sortOrder == "") {
sortOrder = BOOK_COLUMN_MAG_ID;
}
Cursor c = qb.query(db, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null,
null, sortOrder);
c.setNotificationUri(this.context.getContentResolver(), uri);
return c;
}

SOLVED :
Step 1:
create Provider class with DB inser/update/delte/query and be carefull about this things.
static final String PROVIDER_NAME = "com.example.contentprovideruser.DataProvider";//"org.geometerplus.android.fbreader.interfaces.SendDataProvider";
static final String URL = "content://" + PROVIDER_NAME + "/bookevent";
static final Uri CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse(URL);
You need to create well URI
Step 2: Add PROVIDER_NAME AndroidManifest.xml
<provider android:name=".DataProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.contentprovideruser.DataProvider"
android:exported="true"
android:multiprocess="true">
</provider>
Step 3:Need to specify well MIME TYPE
#Override
public String getType(Uri uri) {
switch (uriMatcher.match(uri)) {
case BOOK:
return "vnd.android.cursor.dir/vnd.booktype";
case BOOK_ID:
return "vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.booktype";
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unsupported URI: " + uri);
}
}
step 4 :"CONTENT_URI" is your global uri where all value are inserted
you can use query to get result.
Uri students = DataProvider.CONTENT_URI;
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(students, null, null, null, "name");
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
do{
Toast.makeText(this,
c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DataProvider.BOOK_COLUMN_EVENT_NAME)) +
", " + c.getString(c.getColumnIndex( DataProvider.BOOK_COLUMN_FROMPAGE_NO)),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} while (c.moveToNext());
}
BE happy :)

Loader returns no data, or an empty cursor

I've got two loaders, each of which loads data from a different content provider.
The fragment is supplied with the ID of a medication from the first content provider, and the first loader loads all of the information related to that medication. The second loader is supposed to query the second content provider for all of the alarms associated with that medication.
The first loader works just fine, and returns all of the correct data. However, the second loader appears to return a null cursor, even though I know for a fact that there is plenty of data in the table that should be relevant. I say "appears" because using getCount() on the data in in onLoadFinished for the second loader causes my app to crash, and the only reason I can think that this would occur is if the cursor were null.
Anyway, here's the code for my loaders. If you need, I can give you the code for anything else you want.
/**
* Initializes the loaders.
*/
#Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int loaderId, Bundle bundle) {
CursorLoader loader = null;
long id = getArguments().getLong(ARG_MED_ID);
switch(loaderId) {
case 0: // MedList Loader
Log.d("MedManager", "Loading med data");
Uri singleUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(MedProvider.CONTENT_URI, id);
String[] projection = { MedTable.MED_ID,
MedTable.MED_NAME,
MedTable.MED_DOSAGE,
MedTable.MED_DATE_FILLED,
MedTable.MED_DURATION };
loader = new CursorLoader(getActivity(), singleUri,
projection, null, null,
MedTable.MED_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC");
break;
case 1: // AlarmList Loader
Log.d("MedManager", "Theoretically loading alarm list");
Uri baseUri = AlarmProvider.CONTENT_URI;
// Create and return a CursorLoader that will take care of
// creating a Cursor for the data being displayed.
String[] alarmProjection = { DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_ID,
DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_MEDNUM,
DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_TIME };
String select = "((" + DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_MEDNUM + " NOTNULL) AND ("
+ DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_MEDNUM + " = " + id + "))";
loader = new CursorLoader(getActivity(), baseUri,
alarmProjection, select, null,
DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_TIMESTAMP + " ASC");
break;
}
return loader;
}
/**
* Customizes the various TextViews in the layout to match
* the values pulled from the MedTable, or swaps the alarm cursor
* into the adapter.
*/
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
switch(loader.getId()) {
case 0:
setUpMedDetails(data);
break;
case 1:
Log.d("MedManager", "Alarm finished loading");
/*
* these lines are commented out because their presence causes
* the app to crash.
*/
/*
boolean isEmpty = data.getCount() < 1;
if(isEmpty) {
Log.d("MedManager", "No results");
}
*/
mAdapter.swapCursor(data);
break;
}
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(arg0.getId() == 1) {
mAdapter.swapCursor(null);
}
}
EDIT: For completeness' sake, and because the possibility always exists that I'm simply a massive idiot overlooking something obvious, here's the code by which I add alarms into the table:
/**
* This function will turn the hour and day into an "HH:mm AM/PM" string,
* calculate the timestamp, and then inserts them into the table.
*/
#Override
public void onTimePicked(int hourOfDay, int minute) {
Log.d("MedManager", "onTimePicked triggered");
// Convert the hour and minute into a string
String alarmString = formatAlarmString(hourOfDay, minute);
// Convert the hour and minute into a timestamp
long alarmTimestamp = getAlarmTimestamp(hourOfDay, minute);
// Define the URI to receive the results of the insertion
Uri newUri = null;
// Define a contentValues object to contain the new Values
ContentValues mValues = new ContentValues();
// Add medId;
long medId = getIntent().getLongExtra(MedDetailFragment.ARG_MED_ID, 0);
mValues.put(DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_MEDNUM, medId);
// Add the timestamp
mValues.put(DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_TIMESTAMP, alarmTimestamp);
// Add the time string
mValues.put(DailyAlarmTable.ALARM_TIME, alarmString);
// Insert the new alarm
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "medNum = " + medId, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "time = " + alarmString, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
newUri = getContentResolver().insert(AlarmProvider.CONTENT_URI, mValues);
String uriStr = newUri.toString();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Uri = " + uriStr, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Oh oh, okay I found that you return null in your query method of AlarmProvider class :)). Let's return cursor for this

If the onLoadFinished() method passes you a null cursor, then that means that the ContentProvider's query() method has returned null. You need to fix your query() method so that it doesn't return null in this case.

Android: Refresh ListFragement using ContentProvider and Loader

I am using a SQLite database and a ContentProvider to fill a ListFragment. The problem is that ListFragment is not getting refreshed after I add a item. The ListFragment is empty. I have to close and reopen the app to show the added item in the list.
I try to update it like this:
public class RoomListFragment extends ListFragment implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {
//adapter using SQLite and ContentProvider to fill ListFragment
private SimpleCursorAdapter dataAdapter;
//needed for create room dialog
private EditText enter_room;
private static View textEntryView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//display ActionBar items
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
// TODO: replace with a real list adapter.
displayListView();
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
//Starts a new or restarts an existing Loader in this manager
getLoaderManager().restartLoader(0, null, this);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
private void displayListView() {
// The desired columns to be bound
String[] columns = new String[] {
Database.KEY_GROUPADDRESS,
Database.KEY_NAME,
Database.KEY_DPT
};
// the XML defined views which the data will be bound to
int[] to = new int[] {
R.id.groupaddress,
R.id.name,
R.id.dpt,
};
// create an adapter from the SimpleCursorAdapter
dataAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
getActivity(),
R.layout.device_info,
null,
columns,
to,
0);
//set SimpleCursorAdapter to ListFragmentAdapter
setListAdapter(dataAdapter);
//Ensures a loader is initialized and active.
getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
}
// This is called when a new Loader needs to be created.
#Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
String[] projection = {
Database.KEY_ROWID,
Database.KEY_GROUPADDRESS,
Database.KEY_NAME,
Database.KEY_DPT};
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(getActivity(),
MyContentProvider.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null, null);
return cursorLoader;
}
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
// Swap the new cursor in. (The framework will take care of closing the
// old cursor once we return.)
dataAdapter.swapCursor(data);
dataAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
if (isResumed()) {
setListShown(true);
} else {
setListShownNoAnimation(true);
}
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader) {
// This is called when the last Cursor provided to onLoadFinished()
// above is about to be closed. We need to make sure we are no
// longer using it.
dataAdapter.swapCursor(null);
}
I add a item with this code:
//Handle OnClick events on ActionBar items
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// handle item selection
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu_add:
//Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(getActivity());
//textEntryView is an Layout XML file containing text field to display in alert dialog
textEntryView = factory.inflate(R.layout.dialog_add_room, null);
//get the control from the layout
enter_room = (EditText) textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.enter_room);
//create Dialog
final AlertDialog.Builder alert1 = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
//configure dialog
alert1.setTitle("Raum hinzufügen:").setView(textEntryView)
.setPositiveButton("Hinzufügen",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int whichButton) {
String roomname = enter_room.getText().toString();
Log.d("Insert: ", "Inserting ..");
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
//TODO Richtige Spalte für Raumname verwenden
values.put(Database.KEY_NAME, roomname);
getActivity().getContentResolver().insert(MyContentProvider.CONTENT_URI, values);
dataAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}).setNegativeButton("Abbrechen",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int whichButton) {
//cancel dialog
}
});
alert1.show();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

You should call notifyDataSetChanged(); from within your content providers' insert method and supply the URI as an argument.
At the point in time you are currently calling the notifyDataSetChanged(); method the insert may not have actually happened as the content provider call to insert will be handled asynchronously.
An example could look something like this
#Override
public Uri insert(Uri uri, ContentValues values) {
SQLiteDatabase sqlDB = mDB.getWritableDatabase();
int uriType = sURIMatcher.match(uri);
long id;
switch (uriType) {
case TEAMS:
id = sqlDB.replace(TeamModel.TEAM_TABLE_NAME, null, values);
break;
case CARS:
id = sqlDB.replace(CarModel.CAR_TABLE_NAME, null, values);
break;
case TEAM_ERRORS:
id = sqlDB.replace(TeamErrorModel.TEAMS_ERRORS_TABLE_NAME, null, values);
String teamId = values.get(TeamErrorModel.COL_TEAM_ID).toString();
String selection = TeamModel.COL_ID + " = ?";
String[] selectionArgs = {teamId};
setErrorFlagTeamModel(sqlDB, true, selection, selectionArgs);
break;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown URI: " + uri);
}
getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null, false);
return Uri.parse(uri + "/" + id);
}
The first argument is the URI passed in to the insert method and will tell ALL adapters listening in on that particular uri to update their data.
The last argument (false) tells a sync adapter to ignore this change. I assume you are not using a sync adapter
All methods in your ContentProvider should call the notifyChange method in a similar way.
You may well find that the insert actually failed. so check that the records are actually being inserted.
UPDATE
As per comment below from #zapi
And you need to add cursor.setNotificationUri(contentresolver, uri)
inside the query method or the Cursor does not know for which uri
notification it has to listen
Since answering your question you have posted your content provider and I can now see that in fact as per the above quote this is in fact your missing link
