/**
* Utility methods useful for working with {@link android.net.Uri} objects
* that use the "content" (content://) scheme.
*
*<p>
*   Content URIs have the syntax
*</p>
*<p>
*   <code>content://<em>authority</em>/<em>path</em>/<em>id</em></code>
*</p>
*<dl>
*   <dt>
*       <code>content:</code>
*   </dt>
*   <dd>
*       The scheme portion of the URI. This is always set to {@link
*       android.content.ContentResolver#SCHEME_CONTENT ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT} (value
*       <code>content://</code>).
*   </dd>
*   <dt>
*       <em>authority</em>
*   </dt>
*   <dd>
*       A string that identifies the entire content provider. All the content URIs for the provider
*       start with this string. To guarantee a unique authority, providers should consider
*       using an authority that is the same as the provider class' package identifier.
*   </dd>
*   <dt>
*       <em>path</em>
*   </dt>
*   <dd>
*       Zero or more segments, separated by a forward slash (<code>/</code>), that identify
*       some subset of the provider's data. Most providers use the path part to identify
*       individual tables. Individual segments in the path are often called
*       &quot;directories&quot; although they do not refer to file directories. The right-most
*       segment in a path is often called a &quot;twig&quot;
*   </dd>
*   <dt>
*       <em>id</em>
*   </dt>
*   <dd>
*       A unique numeric identifier for a single row in the subset of data identified by the
*       preceding path part. Most providers recognize content URIs that contain an id part
*       and give them special handling. A table that contains a column named <code>_ID</code>
*       often expects the id part to be a particular value for that column.
*   </dd>
