adb shell content Instructions

usage: adb shell content [subcommand] [options]

usage: adb shell content insert --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] --bind <BINDING> [--bind <BINDING>...]
  <URI> a content provider URI.
  <BINDING> binds a typed value to a column and is formatted:
  <COLUMN_NAME>:<TYPE>:<COLUMN_VALUE> where:
  <TYPE> specifies data type such as:
  b - boolean, s - string, i - integer, l - long, f - float, d - double, n - null
  Note: Omit the value for passing an empty string, e.g column:s:
  Example:
  # Add "new_setting" secure setting with value "new_value".
  adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:new_setting --bind value:s:new_value

usage: adb shell content update --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] [--where <WHERE>]
  <WHERE> is a SQL style where clause in quotes (You have to escape single quotes - see example below).
  Example:
  # Change "new_setting" secure setting to "newer_value".
  adb shell content update --uri content://settings/secure --bind value:s:newer_value --where "name='new_setting'"

usage: adb shell content delete --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] --bind <BINDING> [--bind <BINDING>...] [--where <WHERE>]
  Example:
  # Remove "new_setting" secure setting.
  adb shell content delete --uri content://settings/secure --where "name='new_setting'"

usage: adb shell content query --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] [--projection <PROJECTION>] [--where <WHERE>] [--sort <SORT_ORDER>]
  <PROJECTION> is a list of colon separated column names and is formatted:
  <COLUMN_NAME>[:<COLUMN_NAME>...]
  <SORT_ORDER> is the order in which rows in the result should be sorted.
  Example:
  # Select "name" and "value" columns from secure settings where "name" is equal to "new_setting" and sort the result by name in ascending order.
  adb shell content query --uri content://settings/secure --projection name:value --where "name='new_setting'" --sort "name ASC"

usage: adb shell content call --uri <URI> --method <METHOD> [--arg <ARG>]
       [--extra <BINDING> ...]
  <METHOD> is the name of a provider-defined method
  <ARG> is an optional string argument
  <BINDING> is like --bind above, typed data of the form <KEY>:{
    b,s,i,l,f,d}:<VAL>

usage: adb shell content read --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>]
  Example:
  adb shell 'content read --uri content://settings/system/ringtone_cache' > host.ogg

usage: adb shell content write --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>]
  Example:
  adb shell 'content write --uri content://settings/system/ringtone_cache' < host.ogg

usage: adb shell content gettype --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>]
  Example:
  adb shell content gettype --uri content://media/internal/audio/media/

Example ：

 hold MediaProvider Media library external.db Database file Print out the data of the table 
$ adb shell content query --uri content://media/external/file > D:\media_provider_external_file_table.txt

$ adb shell content query --uri content://media/external/images/media

MediaProvider Media library internal.db database 
$ adb shell content query --uri content://media/internal/audio/media

$ adb shell content query --uri content://media/internal/audio/media/99

C:\Users\luoqingyan>adb shell
:/ $ su
:/ # content query --uri content://media/external/file --where "_data='/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera'"

 More examples of database fields ：
$ adb shell
$ content query --uri content://media/external/file --where _data="'/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/d4fc6c4c273b2ce2406533de0655ad76.mp4'"
 hold datetaken The field value of is changed to 0
$ adb shell content update --uri content://media/external/file --bind datetaken:l:0 --where _data="'/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/d4fc6c4c273b2ce2406533de0655ad76.mp4'"
