In this chapter, we covered the basics of content providers. We learned how to access system-provided content providers and even our own version of a content provider. We went from creating a basic contact manager to evolving it into a fully-fledged citizen of the Android ecosystem by implementing ContentProvider
in order to share data across other applications.
In the following chapter, we will cover Loaders
, CursorAdapters
, nifty hacks and tips, and some open source libraries to make our life easier while working with the SQLite database.
