content:// URI

All a developer needs to know about handling data and files on Android

About

On Android, the best way to share content with other apps is via a ContentProvider. A content:// URI is used to identify data in such a provider, hence the name of this site.

The goal of this website is to teach developers everything they need to know about handling data and files on Android.

This is a work in progress. Currently there’s nothing here to see 😞

Get started by reading Google’s documentation on App data and files.
