Remarks
Turn this item into text, regardless of the type of data it actually contains.
The algorithm for deciding what text to return is: <ul> <li> If #getText is non-null, return that. <li> If #getUri is non-null, try to retrieve its data as a text stream from its content provider. If this succeeds, copy the text into a String and return it. If it is not a content: URI or the content provider does not supply a text representation, return the raw URI as a string. <li> If #getIntent is non-null, convert that to an intent: URI and return it. <li> Otherwise, return an empty string. </ul>
