Android : How to get Content URIs

Question

Hello

I am new to android programming and wanted to know if there is a list of content URI available for reference

for eg. content://sms/inbox - is content URI to access SMS inbox.

is there any such list which provides all the content URIs which can be used with the android system to get the data. I have searched the android SDK documentation and could not find all of them , for eg. the above SMS inbox one is not listed there.

Thanks.

for eg. content://sms/inbox - is content URI to access SMS inbox

No, that is not "content URI to access SMS inbox". That is a Uri pointing to a content provider used by an application that might (or might not) exist on any device and that you have been told are not part of the Android SDK.

is there any such list which provides all the content URIs which can be used with the android system to get the data.

All of the documented and supported ones are in the android.provider package.

for eg. the above SMS inbox one is not listed there.

That would be because it is not part of the operating system, any more than an Outlook API is part of Windows.
