couple of questions about using Uri.Builder in android?

Question # 1: what is the difference between raw and encoded strings in a Uri and why would it be more appropriate to use one or the other? E.G.

  Uri.Builder builder = new Uri.Builder(); 
        builder.scheme("http://");
          builder.encodedScheme("http://");  //vs the encoded version

Question # 2: when setting the "scheme://authority/path?#fragment" on a Uri.Builder() object where do ":, //, ?, #" go in respect to the methods that set the various part of the Builder object? assume it's a heirarchal URI E.G.

  builder.scheme("http://"); //or
    builder.scheme("http:"); // or just
      builder.scheme("http"); //and then append the ":" and "//" elsewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, so thank you in advanced :).

what is the difference between raw and encoded strings in a Uri

Encoded strings are ones that are already URL-encoded. Raw strings are not.

Note that there is no encodedScheme() method on Uri.Builder.

why would it be more appropriate to use one or the other?

If your string is already encoded, from wherever you got that string from, use encoded...(). If not, don't.

where do ":, //, ?, #" go

Nowhere. The point behind Uri and Uri.Builder is, in part, to add that stuff for you.
