Parameters

token

Int32

A token passed into #onQueryComplete to identify the query.

cookie

Object

An object that gets passed into #onQueryComplete

uri

Uri

The URI, using the content:// scheme, for the content to retrieve.

projection

String[]

A list of which columns to return. Passing null will return all columns, which is discouraged to prevent reading data from storage that isn't going to be used.

selection

String

A filter declaring which rows to return, formatted as an SQL WHERE clause (excluding the WHERE itself). Passing null will return all rows for the given URI.

selectionArgs

String[]

You may include ?s in selection, which will be replaced by the values from selectionArgs, in the order that they appear in the selection. The values will be bound as Strings.

orderBy

String

How to order the rows, formatted as an SQL ORDER BY clause (excluding the ORDER BY itself). Passing null will use the default sort order, which may be unordered.

Attributes

Remarks

This method begins an asynchronous query. When the query is done #onQueryComplete is called.
