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.

Getting "Failed to find provider info for ContentProvider" error

I'm creating a simple ContentProvider to access the data in my SQLite3 database. Although I've declared the provider in my AndroidManifest.xml file I'm getting "Failed to find provider info for

What is the problem here?
Here is my AndroidManifest.xml and ContentProvider files.

I've changed the CONTENT_AUTHORITY String to the

making it same with the package name. That solved the problem.

ContentProvider: cursor object null when trying to acces data with ContentResolver

I'm trying to share some data between my apps using ContentProvider. I have a problem with accessing the data with resolver in the second app: Cursor object is null after query. Can't figure out where I made a mistake in the code so I'm asking for help. Code of the first app which provides the data :

The addPlanToProviderFunction() method:

The class in the second app where I want to get the data:

planListTextView = findViewById(R.id.plan_list_text_view);
resolver = getContentResolver();
getPlans();
}
private void getPlans() {
String[] projection = new String[]{"id", "name", "date"};
Cursor cursor = resolver.query(CONTENT_URL, projection, null, null, null);
String planList = "";
if (cursor.moveToNext()) { // I get an error here
do {
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("id"));
String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("name"));
long date = cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex("date"));
planList = planList + id + name + date + "\n";
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
planListTextView.setText(planList);
}
}
I get :
"NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'boolean android.database.Cursor.moveToNext()' on a null object reference."
Thanks anyone for the help.

Your CONTENT_URL is in the wrong format - you need a / after the authority, not a .
static final Uri CONTENT_URL =
Uri.parse("content://com.example.piotr.planer.PlansProvider/cpplans");
As it is now, you're looking for the root path for a ContentProvider that has an authority of com.example.piotr.planer.PlansProvider.cpplans, which doesn't exist, hence the null Cursor.

authorities need to have only the package name, and name is the complete package and class name.
<provider android:name="com.example.alex.hopefulythisworks.ColorContentProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.alex.hopefulythisworks"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true" >
</provider>
Remember that this needs to match the same that you're using to build the Uri:
private static final String AUTHORITY = "com.example.alex.hopefulythisworks";
Android docs

android:authorities="com.example.alex.hopefulythisworks.ColorContentProvider"
should be the same as
private static final String AUTHORITY
= "com.example.alex.hopefulythisworks";
so another solution is replace AUTHORITY to
private static final String AUTHORITY
= "com.example.alex.hopefulythisworks.ColorContentProvider";
Hope it helps.

Just make sure you're using fully qualified name as authority in your searchable as well in provider declared in manifest file like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:hint="#string/action_search"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:searchSuggestAuthority="your_pakcage_name.SearchSuggestionProvider"
android:searchSuggestSelection=" ?" />
<provider
android:authorities="your_pakcage_name.SearchSuggestionProvider"
android:name="your_pakcage_name.SearchSuggestionProvider"
android:exported="true"
android:enabled="true"
android:multiprocess="true"/>
If you've sensitive information in your providers make sure exported is not true

<provider
android:name="com.example.absolutelysaurabh.todoapp.ColorContentProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.absolutelysaurabh.todoapp"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false" >
</provider>
IMPORTANT : Make sure in the "Contract" class u've also used the same AUTHORITY as used here i.e. "com.example.absolutelysaurabh.todoapp"

(SOLVED)
I got this issue with my AddStickerPackActivity.java in function createIntentToAddStickerPack
where I commented intent.putExtra(StickerPackDetailsActivity.EXTRA_STICKER_PACK_AUTHORITY, BuildConfig.CONTENT_PROVIDER_AUTHORITY); after watching some tutorials
Please check if you also find the same issue
Uncomment this line and make sure you are not importing any BuildConfig library, is it not required to import any BuildConfig

This might be old, the given answer works fine with APIs before API 30...
But for API 30 and API 31 checkout this:
Failed to find Content Provider in API 30

URIMatcher doesn't match

This was working! I'm not sure what changed. I do use git and I have looked over my commits and the code for hours now.
As the title indicates my uri matcher stopped matching.
Below I have pasted the relevant parts of my content provider.
public class Provider extends ContentProvider {
private static final String TAG = "Provider";
private static final String SCHEME = ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT;
private static final String AUTHORITY = "com.snot.bodyweightworkout.database.provider";
private static final String BASE_URI = SCHEME + AUTHORITY;
public static final Uri URI_EXERCISES = Uri.parse(BASE_URI + "/exercise");
public static final Uri URI_PROGRAMS = Uri.parse(BASE_URI + "/program");
public static final Uri URI_PROGRAM_EXERCISES = Uri.parse(BASE_URI + "/program/#/exercise");
private static final int EXERCISE = 1;
private static final int EXERCISES = 2;
private static final int PROGRAM = 3;
private static final int PROGRAMS = 4;
private static final int PROGRAM_EXERCISES = 5;
private static final UriMatcher sURIMatcher = new UriMatcher(UriMatcher.NO_MATCH);
static
{
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "/exercise", EXERCISES);
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "/exercise/#", EXERCISE);
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "/program", PROGRAMS);
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "/program/#", PROGRAM);
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "/program/#/exercise", PROGRAM_EXERCISES);
}
...
And then the part where the actual matching should take place.
#Override
public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) {
Log.v(TAG, "URI: " + uri);
Cursor result = null;
int match = sURIMatcher.match(uri);
switch(match)
{
case PROGRAMS:
result = DatabaseHandler
.getInstance(getContext())
.getReadableDatabase()
.query(Program.TABLE_NAME, Program.FIELDS, null, null, null, null, null, null);
result.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), URI_PROGRAMS);
break;
case PROGRAM:
final long pid = Long.parseLong(uri.getLastPathSegment());
result = DatabaseHandler
.getInstance(getContext())
.getReadableDatabase()
.query(Program.TABLE_NAME, Program.FIELDS,
Program.COL_ID + " IS ?",
new String[] { String.valueOf(pid) }, null, null, null, null);
result.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), URI_PROGRAMS);
break;
...
default:
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unmatched(" + match + ") URI: " + uri.toString());
I'm trying to query using a cursor loader like this:
getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, new LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor>() {
#Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
return new CursorLoader(getActivity(), Provider.URI_PROGRAMS, Program.FIELDS, null, null, null);
}
Everytime default is hit. Not match is made the I end up with a FC and the following line in my log.
E/AndroidRuntime( 1979): Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unmatched(-1) URI: content://com.snot.bodyweightworkout.database.provider/program
I've been starring at this for hours and I really need some fresh eyes to take a peak at it. So if some kind soul could take a look at it I will appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.

There's no need for the starting /, so define your addUri() method calls like this:
static {
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "exercise", EXERCISES);
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "exercise/#", EXERCISE);
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "program", PROGRAMS);
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "program/#", PROGRAM);
sURIMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, "program/#/exercise", PROGRAM_EXERCISES);
}
