40        @see XContentIdentifier
41
42        @param Provider
43        the content provider to register.
44
45        <p>This may be `NULL`, in which case a later
46        XContentProvider::queryContent() with an
47        XContentIdentifier that matches the <var>Scheme</var>
48        will simply return `NULL`. These "dummy" content providers are useful
49        in combination with other content providers that are registered on a
50        wildcard URL template: For example, imagine that you want to route all
51        http URLs to a HTTP content provider, but want to block all URLs for
52        the server <code>www.dont.go</code>. One solution would be to register
53        the HTTP content provider on the <var>Scheme</var> <code>http</code>,
54        and to register a "dummy" (i.e., `NULL`) content provider on the
55        <var>Scheme</var> <code>"http://www.dont.go"([/?#].*)?</code>.
56
57        @param Scheme
58        the URL scheme for the provided contents. More generally, this may not
59        only be a URL scheme, but a URL template.
60
61        <p>A URL template is a regular expression (represented as a string) that
62        specifies a subset of the set of all possible URLs (this subset
63        consists of exactly those URLs that match the regular expression).  The
64        language to denote the regular expressions is initially quite limited,
65        but it may be extended in the future:
66
67        <p><ul>
68        <li><code>regexp = scheme / simple / translation</code></li>
69        <li><code>scheme = ALPHA *(ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / ".")</code></li>
70        <li><code>simple = simple-prefix / simple-authority / simple-domain</code></li>
71        <li><code>translation = trans-prefix / trans-authority / trans-domain</code></li>
72        <li><code>simple-prefix = [string] ".*"</code></li>
73        <li><code>trans-prefix = [string] "(.*)->" [string] "\1"</code></li>
74        <li><code>simple-authority = [string] "([/?#].*)?"</code></li>
75        <li><code>trans-authority = [string] "(([/?#].*)?)->" string "\1"</code></li>
76        <li><code>simple-domain = [string] "[^/?#]*" string "([/?#].*)?"</code></li>
77        <li><code>trans-domain = [string] "([^/?#]*" string "([/?#].*)?)->" string "\1"</code></li>
78        <li><code>string = DQUOTE 1*(schar / sescape) DQUOTE  ; DQUOTE is "</code></li>
79        <li><code>schar = &lt any UTF-16 character except " or \></code></li>
80        <li><code>sescape = "\" (DQUOTE / "\")</code></li>
81        </ul>
82
83        <p>A <code>&lt;scheme&gt:</code> matches any URL of exactly the given
84        scheme (ignoring case), keeping the extension from URL schemes to URL
85        templates backwards compatible.  The <code>&lt;simple&gt:</code>
86        regexps match any URL starting with a given string literal, followed
87        by arbitrary characters (<code>&lt;simple-prefix&gt:</code>), or
88        by arbitrary characters that start with one of '/', '?', or '#', if any
89        (<code>&lt;simple-authority&gt:</code>), or by arbitrary characters not
90        including any of '/', '?', or '#', followed by a given string literal,
91        followed by arbitrary characters that start with one of '/', '?', or
92        '#', if any. The comparison of string literals is done ignoring the
93        case of ASCII letters.  The <code>&lt;translation&gt:</code> regexps
94        match the same URLs as their <code>&lt;simple&gt:</code> counterparts,
95        but they also describe how a (local) URL is mapped to another (remote)
96        URL.  This mapping is only relevant for methods of the
97        RemoteAccessContentProvider's
98          XParameterizedContentProvider interface; in all other
99        cases, <code>&lt;translation&gt:</code> regexps have the same semantics
100        as their <code>&lt;simple&gt:</code> counterparts.
101
102        @param ReplaceExisting
103        `TRUE`: replace the provider possibly registered for the given URL
104        template. The replaced provider will not be deregistered automatically!
105        If the superseding provider gets deregistered, the superseded one will
106        become active again.
107        <p>`FALSE`: do not register, if another provider is already registered
108        for the given URL template.
109
110        @returns
111        the replaced content provider, if there was one.
