The browser uri changed from Honeycomb onwards. It still responds to
Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI ("content://browser/...") for legacy, but it
realistically uses the new BrowserContract.AUTHORITY_URI ("content://
com.android.browser/...") to access the correct database.There's code in the Honeycomb+ BrowserProvider that still handles the old uri, but the browser itself primarily gets it's data from the new database using BrowserProvider2 and the new uri. It's frustrating, but you have to simply check the sdk level and from honeycomb plus, use the new uri and the new fields (see the hidden android.provider.BrowserContract for a list of them) but if the device is not yet Honeycomb then you use the original uri and fields.
