Creating a ContentProvider in Android Studio 2.3.3

Question

I'm using Android Studio 2.3.3 and was trying to add a Content Provider component to the project. I keep getting the error "URI Authorities must be a valid URI authority" even after trying many variants of the URI Authorities entry. Same results for a brand new project shown below. Is this working in Studio or is something wrong with the entry?

Answer 1

It should be without content:// prefix, as simple as com.package.1;com.package.2:

This will create following <provider> in AndroidManifest:

    <provider
        android:name="com.mydomain.MyContentProvider"
        android:authorities="com.example.1;com.example.2"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true"></provider>
