Access a file in content provider

Content provider indicates that the file fully complies with the URI, rather than raw file data. To insert a file to the content provider or access a saved file, use the contentresolver openoutputstream or openinputstream method. The file storage process is shown in the following code snippet:

 

// Insert a new row into your provider, returning its unique Uri.

Uri uri = getcontentresolver (). insert (myprovider. content_uri, newvalues );

Try {

// Open an output stream using the new row's uri.

Outputstream outstream = getcontentresolver (). openoutputstream (URI );

 

// Compress your bitmap and save it into your provider.

Sourcebitmap. Compress (bitmap. compressformat. JPEG, 50, outstream );

}
