Unknown Uri which causes more problems (Android)

Question

I have been trying to solve this for a long time. I will post what i think is enough if you need anymore info then please ask me.

public class PInfoProvider extends ContentProvider {
    private PInfoDatabase mOpenHelper;

    private static String TAG = PInfoProvider.class.getSimpleName();
    private static final UriMatcher sUriMatcher = buildUriMatcher();

    private static final int PINFOS = 100;

    private static UriMatcher buildUriMatcher(){

        final String authority = PInfoContract.CONTENT_AUTHORITY;
        matcher.addURI(authority, "PInfos", PINFOS);

The manifest:

Here is where the uri is being built:

public class PInfoContract {

public static final String CONTENT_AUTHORITY = "com.example.saleh.findmypassword.provider";
public static final Uri BASE_CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://" + CONTENT_AUTHORITY);

public static final String PATH_PINFOS = "pinfos";
public static final Uri URI_TABLE = Uri.parse(BASE_CONTENT_URI.toString() + "/" + PATH_PINFOS);

public static final String[] TOP_LEVEL_PATHS = {
        PATH_PINFOS
};

public static class PInfos implements PInfoColumns, BaseColumns {
    public static final Uri CONTENT_URI =
            BASE_CONTENT_URI.buildUpon().appendEncodedPath(PATH_PINFOS).build();
    public static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "vnd.android.cursor.dir/vnd." + CONTENT_AUTHORITY + ".pinfos";
    public static final String CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE = "vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd." + CONTENT_AUTHORITY + ".pinfos";

    public static Uri buildPInfoUri(String PInfoId) {
        return CONTENT_URI.buildUpon().appendEncodedPath(PInfoId).build();
    }

    public static String getPInfoId(Uri uri) {
        return uri.getPathSegments().get(1);
    }

}

}

Answer 1

Since you have this exception:

    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown Uri: 
content://com.example.saleh.findmypassword.provider/pinfos at 
com.example.saleh.findmypassword.PInfoProvider.insert(PInfoProvider.java:97>)

check the package of your provider, it doesn´t exist (Unknown Uri):

com.example.saleh.findmypassword.provider

must be:

com.example.saleh.findmypassword.PInfoProvider

update:

change the value of the variable BASE_CONTENT_URI to :

public static final Uri BASE_CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://com.example.saleh.findmypassword.PInfoProvider");
