MockContentResolver

extends ContentResolver
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.content.ContentResolver
     ↳ android.test.mock.MockContentResolver

Class Overview

An extension of ContentResolver that is designed for testing.

MockContentResolver overrides Android's normal way of resolving providers by authority. To have access to a provider based on its authority, users of MockContentResolver first instantiate the provider and use addProvider(String, ContentProvider) . Resolution of an authority occurs entirely within MockContentResolver.

Users can also set an authority's entry in the map to null, so that a provider is completely mocked out.
