Android 四大组件之ContentProvider

ContentProvider

安卓应用程序默认是无法获取到其他程序的数据,这是安卓安全学的基石(沙盒原理)。但是经常我们需要给其他应用分享数据,内容提供者就是一个这种可以分享数据给其他应用的接口。
可以简单的理解为,内容提供者就是一个可以在不同应用程序间共享数据的组件,相当于一个中间人,一个程序把数据暴露给这个中间人,另一个则通过这个中间人获取相应的数据.

下面的这张图片能更直观的显示:

  • ContentProvider中的getContextAndroidTestCast中的getContext方法一样,都是一个模拟的上下文,必须在该类初始化之后才会调用setContext方法将context设置成自己的成员变量中记录,
    所以对于获取getContext的时候只能放在方法内,不能放到成员位置,因为在成员上时是null,而在方法内调用时该类就会已经初始化完了

  • ContentProvider中的query()后不能关闭数据库,因为其他的应用在调用该query方法时需要继续使用该返回值Cursor,所以不能关闭数据库,因为数据库关闭之后Cursor就不能用了,
    Cursor中保存的数据其实是数据库的一个引用,如果数据库关了Cursor就不能找到里面的数据了,Cursor.close()只是释放Cursor用到的资源。说到这里就多数一句
    According to Dianne Hackborn (Android framework engineer) there is no need to close the database in a content provider.以为内容提供者是因为进程启动时便加载,之后就一直存在,当进程销毁
    释放资源时会去关闭数据库。

  • 如果数据是SQLiteDatabase,表中必须有一个_id的列,用来表示每条记录的唯一性。

  1. 继承ContentProvider,并实现相应的方法。

    public class NoteProvider extends ContentProvider {
        private static final int NOTES = 1;
        private static final int NOTE_ID = 2;
    
        public static final String AUTHORITY = "com.charon.demo.provider.noteprovider";
        public static final String TABLE_NAME = "note";
        // 定义一个名为`CONTENT_URI`必须为其指定一个唯一的字符串值,最好的方案是以类的全名称
        public static final Uri CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://" + AUTHORITY + "/" + TABLE_NAME);
    
        // 声明一个路径的检查者,参数为Uri不匹配时的返回值
        // 虽然是中间人,但也不能谁要数据我们都给,所以要检查下,只有符合我们要求的人,我们才会给他数据。
        private static UriMatcher sUriMatcher = new UriMatcher(UriMatcher.NO_MATCH);
    
        private NoteSQLiteOpenHelper mSQLiteOpenHelper;
        private SQLiteDatabase mSQLiteDatabase;
    
        static {
            // 建立匹配规则,例如发现路径为ccom.charon.demo.provider.noteprovider/note/1表示要操作note表中id为1的记录
            sUriMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, TABLE_NAME, NOTES);
            sUriMatcher.addURI(AUTHORITY, TABLE_NAME + "/#", NOTE_ID);
        }
    
        /**
         * Implement this to initialize your content provider on startup.

                    }

            }
            int count = mSQLiteDatabase.delete(TABLE_NAME, selection, selectionArgs);
            getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null);
            return count;
        }
    
        @Override
        public int update(Uri uri, ContentValues values, String selection,
                          String[] selectionArgs) {

                case NOTES:

                    throw new IllegalArgumentException("UnKnown Uri" + uri);

            mSQLiteDatabase = mSQLiteOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase();
            int update = mSQLiteDatabase.update(TABLE_NAME, values, selection, selectionArgs);
            return update;
        }
    
  2. 在清单文件中进行注册,并且指定其authorities
    <provider
        android:name="com.charon.demo.provider.NoteProvider"
        android:authorities="com.charon.demo.provider.noteprovider" >
    
  3. 使用内容提供者获取数据,使用ContentResolver去操作ContentProvider, ContentResolver用于管理ContentProvider实例,
    并且可实现找到指定的ContentProvider并获取里面的数据

    public void query(View view){
        //得到内容提供者的解析器  中间人
        ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
        Cursor cursor = resolver.query(NoteProvider.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
        while(cursor.moveToNext()){
            String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("name"));
            int id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("id"));
            float money = cursor.getFloat(cursor.getColumnIndex("money"));
            System.out.println("id="+id+",name="+name+",money="+money);
        }
        cursor.close();
    }
    public void insert(View view){
        ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put("name", "买洗头膏");
        values.put("money", 22.58f);
        resolver.insert(NoteProvider.CONTENT_URI, values);
    }
    public void update(View view){
        ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put("name", "买洗头膏");
        values.put("money", 42.58f);
        resolver.update(NoteProvider.CONTENT_URI, values, "name=?", new String[]{"买洗头膏"});
    }
    public void delete(View view){
        ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
        resolver.delete(NoteProvider.CONTENT_URI, "name=?", new String[]{"买洗头膏"});
    }
    

内容观察者

内容观察者的原理:
How a content provider actually stores its data under the covers is up to its designer. But all content providers implement a common interface for
querying the provider and returning results — as well as for adding, altering, and deleting data.
It's an interface that clients use indirectly, most generally through ContentResolver objects.
You get a ContentResolver by calling getContentResolver() from within the implementation of an Activity or other application component:
You can then use the ContentResolver's methods to interact with whatever content providers you're interested in.

  1. 一方使用内容观察者去观察变化
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
        resolver.registerContentObserver(NoteProvider.CONTENT_URI, true, new NoteObserver(new Handler()));
    
    }
    
    private class NoteObserver extends ContentObserver {
    
        public NoteObserver(Handler handler) {
            super(handler);
    
        }
        //当观察到数据发生变化的时候  会执行onchange方法.
        @Override
        public void onChange(boolean selfChange) {
            super.onChange(selfChange);
            Log.i(TAG,"发现有新的短信产生了...");
            //1.利用内容提供者  中间人 获取用户的短信数据.
            ContentResolver resolver  = getContentResolver();
            // .. 重新查询
            cursor = ...;
            cursor.close();
        }
    }
    
  2. 一方在发生变化的时候去发送改变的消息
    对于一些系统的内容提供者内部都实现了该步骤,如果是自己写程序想要暴露就必须要加上该代码。

    getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null);
