You get your ClientProviderClient like this:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://com.sabretch.colorEyeD/
yourtable");
ContentProviderClient cpc =
getContentResolver().acquireContentProviderClient(uri);
(This only uses the authority part of the Uri --
com.sabretch.colorEyeD -- but we'll use the same Uri in the next
step).
Once you have your cpc, you run a query. In the query call, using the
same Uri, you provide the list of column names; the results will be in
that order.
You can define a class with static fields like People if you want, to
identify the column names with field names. That's a good idea,
because it lets the compiler detect any typos, but it's not required,
they're just strings. The only requirement is that the column names
that you use match the column names used by the provider. If the
provider is using a database, that in turn will be the column names
from the database.
Your query gives you a Cursor, which you then use to step through the
rows, and access the columns. By this point, it's the same as for a
built-in provider.
Hopefully this makes it more clear how the examples would work with
your own provider?
