public Android.Net.Uri? Uncanonicalize (Android.Net.Uri url);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("uncanonicalize", "(Landroid/net/Uri;)Landroid/net/Uri;", "")>]
member this.Uncanonicalize : Android.Net.Uri -> Android.Net.Uri

Parameters

url
Uri

The canonical Uri that is to be convered back to its non-canonical form.

Uri

Attributes

Remarks

Given a canonical Uri previously generated by #canonicalize, convert it to its local non-canonical form. This can be useful in some cases where you know that you will only be using the Uri in the current environment and want to avoid any possible overhead when using it with the content provider or want to verify that the referenced data exists at all in the new environment.
