Parameters

documentId

Returns

Attributes

Exceptions

Remarks

Open and return the requested document.

Your provider should return a reliable ParcelFileDescriptor to detect when the remote caller has finished reading or writing the document.

Mode "r" should always be supported. Provider should throw UnsupportedOperationException if the passing mode is not supported. You may return a pipe or socket pair if the mode is exclusively "r" or "w", but complex modes like "rw" imply a normal file on disk that supports seeking.

If you block while downloading content, you should periodically check CancellationSignal#isCanceled() to abort abandoned open requests.
