ContentProviderClient

public class ContentProviderClient
extends Object implements AutoCloseable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.content.ContentProviderClient


The public interface object used to interact with a specific ContentProvider.

Instances can be obtained by calling acquireContentProviderClient(Uri) or acquireUnstableContentProviderClient(Uri). Instances must be released using close() in order to indicate to the system that the underlying ContentProvider is no longer needed and can be killed to free up resources.

Note that you should generally create a new ContentProviderClient instance for each thread that will be performing operations. Unlike ContentResolver, the methods here such as query(Uri, String[], String, String[], String) and openFile(Uri, String) are not thread safe -- you must not call close() on the ContentProviderClient those calls are made from until you are finished with the data they have returned.

Protected methods

finalize

Added in API level 5
void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the JavaTM virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws
Throwable

Hooray!
