I have read just about everything there is to find here on this issue, not getting past this.
I have a simple app starting with the MainActivity
, my Content Provider
is correctly defined in AndroidManifest.xml
, the ContentProvider
class seems alrighty...this has been tested on a nexus i9250 running 4.3 and an Asus Memo Pad running 4.2.1 as well as VDevices running Jelly Bean. The App runs in every instance and does not crash, the only thing the LogCat
gives me is "Failed to find provider info for de.somename.provider"
at the point where one of my fragments tries to query the Content Provider
and get a cursor. Here the Code:
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The Method: insertSomeFunctions() i have left out since it doesn't make a difference here, gonna put a bounty on this asap. Really need to get this done.
<provider android:authorities="de.somename.provider"
android:enabled="true"
android:multiprocess="true"
android:name=".hvkContentProvider"
android:exported="true" ></provider>
From reference page on <provider>
: Link
android:authorities: ......To avoid conflicts, authority names should use a Java-style naming convention (such as com.example.provider.cartoonprovider). Typically, it's the name of the ContentProvider subclass that implements the provider.
In your case, android:authorities
should have the value: de.somename.provider.hvkContentProvider
.
android:name:...... The name of the class that implements the content provider, a subclass of ContentProvider. This should be a fully qualified class name (such as, "com.example.project.TransportationProvider"). However, as a shorthand, if the first character of the name is a period, it is appended to the package name specified in the element.
So, if you are defining package
in the manifest
tag of AndroidManifest.xml
, make sure hvkContentProvider
is in that package. Else, change android:name=".hvkContentProvider"
to android:name="de.somename.hvk3.hvkContentProvider"
or your.package.name.hvkContentProvider
Try using fully qualified path in android:authorities
thereby replacing de.somename.provider
with de.somename.provider.hvkContentProvider
in so that it becomes as follows.
<provider android:authorities="de.somename.provider.hvkContentProvider"
android:enabled="true"
android:multiprocess="true"
android:name=".hvkContentProvider"
android:exported="true" ></provider>

I faced the similar issue, and none of the solutions worked for me. Finally stumbled upon the below link(Failed to find Content Provider in API 30) and this solution worked like a magic. For the application with API above 29, declare the following block in your AppB menifest file
<manifest>
...
<queries>
<provider android:authorities="com.example.appcontainprovider" />
</queries>
...
</manifest>
where authorities value is provider authorities.
