I am having a hard time understanding content providers. In the notepad example and others, the content provider never even declares its CONTENT_URI anywhere inside itself, yet the docs say to publicly declare this. It's declared in a different class. So when an activity queries a content provider with a CONTENT_URI, how does Android know which one I want. I see no link between a content provider and its CONTENT_URI declared in another class.
I also don't how to think about intents and content providers. I know that you don't call an intent on a content provider. But an activity queries a content provider without an intent, and an activity has a mimetype attribute in the manifest that would seem to tie it to a content provider.
how can i create a custom content provider like contact content provider? i know how to create custom content providers but i want to integarte to device such a way that it canbe accessed by all application installed in that device.

View 6 Replies View Relatedmy android application is handling a large database of bus passage time and we would like to allow others application to be able to display certains bus passage time. We would like to use a content provider to do that. Most example seems to be about using an SQL database, but we use some custom text file. I was wondering what would be the best way to do that. I was thinking I could use a Content Provider and implement the Cursor interface on a custom object that I would manually fill with my text data. Would this be possible ? Anyone have a better idea (excluding changing to SQL lite of course)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe Content Provider starts when the first applicable URI is resolved. This will make the ContentProvider run forever and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it (such as due to inactivity etc).It would be nice if Content Provider would stop after some time so that the memory usage is reduced (An enclosing process, doesn't need to be alive if the Content Provider is not needed anymore).

It doesn't seem to be officially supported in the API but it looks like people are able to do this regardless. See the SlideScreen app which notifies you of new e-mail and even shows you info (sender, title).It would be great to know how this is accomplished, for example we could create a home screen widget that shows you your last few e- mails, etc.

When I send an SMS on my Android emulator, it goes to the content provider:
content://sms/sent
right?
So I wanted to get the last sent SMS from the content provider. So I used this Uri as you can see above, and, I used the method query, with the Content Resolver Object. And I got the cursor, and used the movetofirst() method, so I would have the last sent SMS. Check the code below. I hope it helps.

I am developing an application that involves some sensitive user information. I retrieve this information via a private web API. I am trying to determine the best way to get this data into my app. Right now I'm exploring creating a content provider that can do so; my hesitation is in making it secure. I want this data to be usable only by my application. Ideally, no other apps would even know it exists.
Do you have any pointers or advice on how to do this effectively and securely? Any info on content providers who's data source is a remote OAuth'd API?
I say content provider, but if that isn't the best way to do what I need, by all means let me know what else to look into.
