Unable to open content: Custom Content Provider

Question

I have two app, from another app I want to get all images, suppose there is StickerProvider and MainActivity different app

StickerProvider is ContentProvider, MainActivity has ContentResolver

StickerProvider App has Asset Folder

Asset----> Stickers ----------> a.png, b.png

public class StickerProvider extends ContentProvider {

    private final static String LOG_TAG = StickerProvider.class.getName();

    private static final String[] COLUMNS = {
            OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, OpenableColumns.SIZE};

    @Override
    public boolean onCreate() {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) {
        /**
         * Source: {@link FileProvider#query(Uri, String[], String, String[], String)} .
         */
        if (projection == null) {
            projection = COLUMNS;
        }

        String[] images = new String[0];
        try {
            images = getContext().getAssets().list("stickers");

            ArrayList<String> listImages = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(images));

            final MatrixCursor cursor = new MatrixCursor(new String[]{"path"}, 1);
            for (int i = 0; i < listImages.size(); i++) {
                cursor.addRow(new String[]{listImages.get(i)});
            }

            return cursor;

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public String getType(Uri uri) {
        /**
         * Source: {@link FileProvider#getType(Uri)} .
         */
        final String file_name = uri.getLastPathSegment();
        final int lastDot = file_name.lastIndexOf('.');
        if (lastDot >= 0) {
            final String extension = file_name.substring(lastDot + 1);
            final String mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(extension);
            if (mime != null) {
                return mime;
            }
        }

        return "image/png";
    }

    @Override
    public Uri insert(Uri uri, ContentValues values) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public int delete(Uri uri, String selection, String[] selectionArgs) {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public int update(Uri uri, ContentValues values, String selection, String[] selectionArgs) {
        return 0;
    }

}

It's menifest file is

 <provider
            android:name="com.example.StickerProvider"
            android:authorities="com.example"
            android:exported="true"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true"
            android:label="StickerProvider" />

Another app is MainActivity ------> From this I want to fetch all images of above apps

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    int i=0;
    private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        ImageView ivOne = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ivOne);
        ImageView ivTwo = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ivTwo);

        try {
            ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();

            Cursor cursor =
                    resolver.query(Uri.parse("content://com.example/stickers"),
                            null,
                            null,
                            null,
                            null);
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                do {
                    String word = cursor.getString(0);
                    if(i==0){
                        ivOne.setImageURI(Uri.parse("content://com.example/stickers/"+word));
                    }else if(i==1){
                        ivTwo.setImageURI(Uri.parse("content://com.example/stickers/"+word));
                    }
                    // do something meaningful
                    Log.d(TAG, "onCreate: "+word);
                } while (cursor.moveToNext());
            }
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

When ever I start MainActivity App I am getting below exception

Answer 1

ivOne.setImageURI(Uri.parse("content://com.example/stickers/"+word));

Your ContentProvider does not support this. It does not implement openFile() or any of its variants.

Either:

• Use an existing ContentProvider that offers support for serving assets, such as my StreamProvider, or

• Augment your provider to support openFile(), such as I do in this sample app

Answer 2

ic_launcher is related with app icon. There is no app icon. Check your icon in your drawable directory.
