Hello Again, I was successfully able to implement my customized content provider. However there are a couple questions I would like to ask.
The content provider seems to create a database inside the application that I first call it in. When I open up another application to insert into that content provider, it appears to work correctly and write in in the database of the first application. However, when I reboot android and run the second application, it creates a new database and writes it inside of the second application. How do I prevent this problem from occurring? Is there a way to make sure the content providers database is always located within the first application? Thanks again everyone.
