Remarks

Base class for a document provider. A document provider offers read and write access to durable files, such as files stored on a local disk, or files in a cloud storage service. To create a document provider, extend this class, implement the abstract methods, and add it to your manifest like this:

&lt;manifest&gt;
               ...
               &lt;application&gt;
                   ...
                   &lt;provider
                       android:name="com.example.MyCloudProvider"
                       android:authorities="com.example.mycloudprovider"
                       android:exported="true"
                       android:grantUriPermissions="true"
                       android:permission="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS"
                       android:enabled="@bool/isAtLeastKitKat"&gt;
                       &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                           &lt;action android:name="android.content.action.DOCUMENTS_PROVIDER" /&gt;
                       &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
                   &lt;/provider&gt;
                   ...
               &lt;/application&gt;
            &lt;/manifest&gt;

When defining your provider, you must protect it with android.Manifest.permission#MANAGE_DOCUMENTS, which is a permission only the system can obtain. Applications cannot use a documents provider directly; they must go through Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or Intent#ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT which requires a user to actively navigate and select documents. When a user selects documents through that UI, the system issues narrow URI permission grants to the requesting application.

<h3>Documents</h3>

A document can be either an openable stream (with a specific MIME type), or a directory containing additional documents (with the Document#MIME_TYPE_DIR MIME type). Each directory represents the top of a subtree containing zero or more documents, which can recursively contain even more documents and directories.

Each document can have different capabilities, as described by Document#COLUMN_FLAGS. For example, if a document can be represented as a thumbnail, your provider can set Document#FLAG_SUPPORTS_THUMBNAIL and implement #openDocumentThumbnail(String, Point, CancellationSignal) to return that thumbnail.

Each document under a provider is uniquely referenced by its Document#COLUMN_DOCUMENT_ID, which must not change once returned. A single document can be included in multiple directories when responding to #queryChildDocuments(String, String[], String). For example, a provider might surface a single photo in multiple locations: once in a directory of geographic locations, and again in a directory of dates.

<h3>Roots</h3>

All documents are surfaced through one or more "roots." Each root represents the top of a document tree that a user can navigate. For example, a root could represent an account or a physical storage device. Similar to documents, each root can have capabilities expressed through Root#COLUMN_FLAGS.
