You can set permissions on the content provider to a signature-only permission you define so other apps can't access the data.

You are right, you generally rely on using release signed .apks to ensure they are signed with the same cert... you could play some games to ensure that development builds are signed with the same dev cert (by having all developers use it), but can't mix release and dev builds. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
