临时内容供应器基本上是一个私有内容供应器,但它允许特定的应用访问特定的 URI。通过向目标应用发送一个指定了特殊标志的意图,即可为这些应用提供临时访问权限。内容供应器方的应用可以将访问权限主动授予其他应用,并且还可以将访问权限被动授予索要临时访问权限的应用。
下面展示了实现临时内容供应器的示例代码。
要点(创建内容供应器):
将导出属性显式设置为false
。
使用grant-uri-permission
指定路径来临时授予访问权。
即使数据来自临时访问应用,也应该消息并安全地处理收到的请求数据。
可以返回公开给临时访问应用的信息。
为意图指定 URI 来授予临时访问权。
为意图指定访问权限来授予临时访问权。
将显式意图发送给应用来授予临时访问权。
将意图返回给请求临时访问权的应用。
