OpenTypedAssetFile(Uri, String, Bundle)

Called by a client to open a read-only stream containing data of a particular MIME type.

[Android.Runtime.Register("openTypedAssetFile", "(Landroid/net/Uri;Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/os/Bundle;)Landroid/content/res/AssetFileDescriptor;", "GetOpenTypedAssetFile_Landroid_net_Uri_Ljava_lang_String_Landroid_os_Bundle_Handler")]
public virtual Android.Content.Res.AssetFileDescriptor? OpenTypedAssetFile (Android.Net.Uri uri, string mimeTypeFilter, Android.OS.Bundle? opts);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("openTypedAssetFile", "(Landroid/net/Uri;Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/os/Bundle;)Landroid/content/res/AssetFileDescriptor;", "GetOpenTypedAssetFile_Landroid_net_Uri_Ljava_lang_String_Landroid_os_Bundle_Handler")>]
abstract member OpenTypedAssetFile : Android.Net.Uri * string * Android.OS.Bundle -> Android.Content.Res.AssetFileDescriptor
override this.OpenTypedAssetFile : Android.Net.Uri * string * Android.OS.Bundle -> Android.Content.Res.AssetFileDescriptor

Parameters

uri

Uri

The data in the content provider being queried.

mimeTypeFilter

String

The type of data the client desires. May be a pattern, such as /, if the caller does not have specific type requirements; in this case the content provider will pick its best type matching the pattern.

opts

Bundle

Additional options from the client. The definitions of these are specific to the content provider being called.

Returns

AssetFileDescriptor

Returns a new AssetFileDescriptor from which the client can read data of the desired type.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

FileNotFoundException

Throws FileNotFoundException if there is no file associated with the given URI or the mode is invalid.

SecurityException

Throws SecurityException if the caller does not have permission to access the data.

IllegalArgumentException

Throws IllegalArgumentException if the content provider does not support the requested MIME type.

Remarks

Called by a client to open a read-only stream containing data of a particular MIME type. This is like #openAssetFile(Uri, String), except the file can only be read-only and the content provider may perform data conversions to generate data of the desired type.

The default implementation compares the given mimeType against the result of #getType(Uri) and, if they match, simply calls #openAssetFile(Uri, String).

See ClipData for examples of the use and implementation of this method.

The returned AssetFileDescriptor can be a pipe or socket pair to enable streaming of data.

<p class="note">For better interoperability with other applications, it is recommended that for any URIs that can be opened, you also support queries on them containing at least the columns specified by android.provider.OpenableColumns. You may also want to support other common columns if you have additional meta-data to supply, such as android.provider.MediaStore.MediaColumns#DATE_ADDED in android.provider.MediaStore.MediaColumns.

OpenTypedAssetFile(Uri, String, Bundle, CancellationSignal)

Called by a client to open a read-only stream containing data of a particular MIME type.

[Android.Runtime.Register("openTypedAssetFile", "(Landroid/net/Uri;Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/os/Bundle;Landroid/os/CancellationSignal;)Landroid/content/res/AssetFileDescriptor;", "GetOpenTypedAssetFile_Landroid_net_Uri_Ljava_lang_String_Landroid_os_Bundle_Landroid_os_CancellationSignal_Handler")]
public virtual Android.Content.Res.AssetFileDescriptor? OpenTypedAssetFile (Android.Net.Uri uri, string mimeTypeFilter, Android.OS.Bundle? opts, Android.OS.CancellationSignal? signal);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("openTypedAssetFile", "(Landroid/net/Uri;Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/os/Bundle;Landroid/os/CancellationSignal;)Landroid/content/res/AssetFileDescriptor;", "GetOpenTypedAssetFile_Landroid_net_Uri_Ljava_lang_String_Landroid_os_Bundle_Landroid_os_CancellationSignal_Handler")>]
abstract member OpenTypedAssetFile : Android.Net.Uri * string * Android.OS.Bundle * Android.OS.CancellationSignal -> Android.Content.Res.AssetFileDescriptor
override this.OpenTypedAssetFile : Android.Net.Uri * string * Android.OS.Bundle * Android.OS.CancellationSignal -> Android.Content.Res.AssetFileDescriptor

Parameters

uri

Uri

The data in the content provider being queried.

mimeTypeFilter

String

The type of data the client desires. May be a pattern, such as &#47;, if the caller does not have specific type requirements; in this case the content provider will pick its best type matching the pattern.

opts

Bundle

Additional options from the client. The definitions of these are specific to the content provider being called.

signal

CancellationSignal

A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. For example, if you are downloading a file from the network to service a "rw" mode request, you should periodically call CancellationSignal#throwIfCanceled() to check whether the client has canceled the request and abort the download.

Returns

AssetFileDescriptor

Returns a new AssetFileDescriptor from which the client can read data of the desired type.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

FileNotFoundException

Throws FileNotFoundException if there is no file associated with the given URI or the mode is invalid.

SecurityException

Throws SecurityException if the caller does not have permission to access the data.

IllegalArgumentException

Throws IllegalArgumentException if the content provider does not support the requested MIME type.
