jenzz / contentproviderhelper Goto Github PK

Goal : publish ContentProviderHelper in the android-opensource-appstore http://fdroid.org/

ToDo:

• Create a branch "fdroid"
• remove the "report-errors-and-send-them-home" (frdoid does not like this)
• remove permission internet (was needed only for error-reporting)

I have already started this with https://github.com/k3b/ContentProviderHelper/tree/FDroid
but of course I will not publish it on fdroid if projectowner does not want it

Even if you choose to just let us see the code to review it or build our own app, without being able to distribute our modifications, a file making this clearer would be nice. Thanks for your time & have a nice day.

P.S. By the way your app is awesome.

Currently ContentProviderHelper completely refuses to interact with provider, if it returns a null Cursors or throws exception in response to initial query. This does not make much sense, because many providers don't consider empty uri (without path) to be valid. It should be possible to manually enter initial uri for each provider.

Thanks for writing this app and publishing it. It really helped me debug issues with an app I am writing. There were some unexpected errors though. For instance, picking the media/external/audio/media on my Galaxy S4 KitKat with all columns results in a Syntax error toast. Unfortunately the toast doesn't show quite long enough to figure out what the error is.

Playlist entries are stored in the table content://media/external/audio/playlists//members Search doesn't find this and I am reduced to typing this which is a lot of typing on a phone. This should be better.

A tap on the row to bring up a vertical field representation would be nice.

Also nice would be the ability to delete a row directly.

Add please profile uri: "content://com.android.contacts/profile/data"

Hi,

I'm getting this exception when trying to open the com.google.android.apps.docs.storage content provider:

Even if ContentProvider responds to initial query with a non-null Cursor, ContentProviderHelper still won't show those columns unless the Cursor has at least one row (other functionality — querying etc. also won't work). It should be able to work even if Cursors is empty, because it still has the list of columns, possibly types etc.
