Definition

Remarks

A SliceProvider allows an app to provide content to be displayed in system spaces. This content is templated and can contain actions, and the behavior of how it is surfaced is specific to the system surface.

Slices are not currently live content. They are bound once and shown to the user. If the content changes due to a callback from user interaction, then ContentResolver#notifyChange(Uri, ContentObserver) should be used to notify the system.

The provider needs to be declared in the manifest to provide the authority for the app. The authority for most slices is expected to match the package of the application.

{@literal
<provider
                android:name="com.example.mypkg.MySliceProvider"
                android:authorities="com.example.mypkg" />}

Slices can be identified by a Uri or by an Intent. To link an Intent with a slice, the provider must have an IntentFilter matching the slice intent. When a slice is being requested via an intent, #onMapIntentToUri(Intent) can be called and is expected to return an appropriate Uri representing the slice.

{@literal
<provider
                android:name="com.example.mypkg.MySliceProvider"
                android:authorities="com.example.mypkg">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.mypkg.intent.action.MY_SLICE_INTENT" />
<category android:name="android.app.slice.category.SLICE" />
</intent-filter>
</provider>}
