java - UriMatcher doesn't match correctly -

first up: have sifted through many of questions on topic on , have still failed come correct answer.

here a, (way simplified), version of code:

private static urimatcher         urimatcher = new urimatcher(urimatcher.no_match);  private static final int         homework_table_request = 1,         class_table_request = 2,         settings_table_request = 3,         homework_item_request = 4,         class_item_request = 5,         settings_item_request = 6;  static {     urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "homework", homework_table_request);     urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "homework/#", homework_item_request);     urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "class", class_table_request);     urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "class/#", class_item_request);     urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "settings", settings_table_request);     urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "settings/#", settings_item_request); } 

and here query method:

@override public cursor query(uri uri, string[] projection, string selection, string[] selectionargs, string sortorder) {     cursor cursor = null;        log.i("dfg", "query method called");     log.i("dfg", "uri = " + uri.tostring());     log.i("dfg", "match: " + urimatcher.match(uri));     switch(urimatcher.match(uri)) {         case homework_item_request:             log.i("dfg", "homework_item_request");             cursor = database.readcursorbyid(integer.parseint(uri.getlastpathsegment()));             break;         case homework_table_request:             log.i("dfg", "homework_table_request");             cursor = database.readallhomework();             break;         case class_item_request:         case class_table_request:         case settings_item_request:         case settings_table_request:             cursor = null;             break;         default:             cursor = null;             break;     }     return cursor; } 

i have no implementation class requests or settings requests that's why i'm defaulting return null. what's happening switch statement falling way through default:, , causing npe's galore later on in code. you'll notice there 5 log statements in code. following printed logcat. (why called logcat anyways?)

query method called uri = content://org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider/homework/24 match: -1 

now uri being tested should match 2nd pattern added, correct? read how uri.parse() method messes urimatcher's wildcards on thread build above-printed uri following code:

uri returnuri = new uri.builder().scheme(contentresolver.scheme_content).authority("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider").appendpath("homework").appendpath(string.valueof(id)).build(); 

the id variable there depends on other stuff isn't relevant.

my question why urimatcher not working, , how go fixing it?

fix:

i had incorrect capitalization on following lines:

urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "homework/#", homework_item_request); urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "class/#", class_item_request); urimatcher.adduri("org.dvc.homeworkreminder.homeworkprovider", "settings/#", settings_item_request); 

notice lowercase r in homeworkreminder. bruce spotting it!

you're using lower-case 'reminder' when set matcher, actual uri has upper-case 'reminder'.
