Using ContentValues() to edit a bookmark

Question

Hello!

I want to edit a Bookmark using ContentValues(); I understand how to use this method in terms of updating the data (I think) but I'm missing the understanding on how I update the data of a specific ID.

//setting the URI (to edit the specific Bookmark by ID)
ContentValues bValues = new ContentValues();
bValues.put(Browser.BookmarkColumns._ID, bookmark_id);
Uri mUri = getContentResolver().insert(BOOKMARKS_URI, bValues);

//Using the mUri, edit the values of the Bookmark
ContentValues bEditValues = new ContentValues();
bEditValues.put(Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE, "NEW_TITLE");
bEditValues.put(Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL, "NEW_URL");
getContentResolver().update(mUri, bEditValues, null, null);

I get force close for Unknown URL (makes sense as I said, having trouble setting the editable Bookmark by ID):

Appreciate the help!

Answer 1

Solved! (thanks anyway!)

solution: //sets the Uri Uri mUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI, bookmark_id);

//edit the bookmark the user selected.
ContentValues bEditValues = new ContentValues();
bEditValues.put(Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE, "NEW_TITLE");
bEditValues.put(Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL, "NEW_URL");
getContentResolver().update(mUri, bEditValues, null, null);

Hope this helps anyone else!
