Question

I have an authority string defined as such:

public final static String AUTHORITY = "dsndata.sds2mobile.jobprovider";

Followed by an edition to the UriMatcher:

uriMatcher.addURI(JobMetaData.AUTHORITY, "/JobNames/*",
                      JOBNAME_SINGLE_URI);

The uri that gets passed to the switch is:

content://dsndata.sds2mobile.jobprovider/JobNames/test

This falls through the switch and hits the default (which throws an IllegalArgumentException).

Am I missing something? I’ve searched and can’t find anything that would account for the mismatch.

Answer 1

I had the same problem too with IllegalArgumentException. Even those have debugging the Uri’s were the same! [drove me crazy]. If you have defined */ match first that seems to match and prevent others from matching. ORDER IS IMPORTANT!!

I reordered and the ‘external_warning_id’ now works fine.

//putting it first as /* seems to get matched first
    URL_MATCHER.addURI(AUTHORITY, TABLE_NAME.toLowerCase() + "/external_warning_id" + "/*",
            EXTERNAL_WARNING_ID);

// was the first entry in static block
URL_MATCHER.addURI(AUTHORITY, TABLE_NAME.toLowerCase() + "/*", WARNING__ID);
