# Android Content URI
An Android content URI uses the `content://` scheme to address data exposed through a content provider. Its authority is resolved locally by Android rather than through public DNS.
## Notebook evidence
[[Scanned_20260730-1806#Page 20 — `Scanned_20260730-1806.pdf`, PDF page 20|PDF page 20]] records Twitter's `content://com.twitter.android.internal/fileprovider/cache/legal.htm` URI.
## Boundary
Do not classify a content URI as a public web URL or network endpoint. Preserve granting app, receiving app, authority, path, temporary permission flags, and launch action.
