There's no reason to use a content provider to work with databases. A content provider provides a common, abstract mechanism for offering data to other applications. Its power is in handling all the small details of connecting an application to a data source in another process. The content provider framework has a few useful methods for dealing with databases, but that is *not* its main focus. Don't get hung up on content providers to provide data, especially if the only use of the data is in your own application.
If you run into an error you can't figure out, or you need help with a specific design decision, then this forum will work for you. If you just say "Here's what I want to do, how do I do it?" we *can't* help you effectively. We are bound to leave out some important detail that you know. We can't substitute for experience and training. To answer the OP: You say that you need to create an SQLite DB to check if the user is valid. That is fairly easy to do in Android, and it's documented in the Dev Guide. However, you go on to say that the purpose of this DB is to verify that the user is registered. You also note that the check needs to be done on a website, not local to the device. If the user is new, then he or she has to register on the website. I can't see why you need a local database. All the information is on your website. It seems to me that you want the user to go to the website to login, and then proceed locally. This is tricky to do, but not impossible. However, I don't see that you have to keep *any* database data on your device, unless you're using it as a "cache" of users. As far as the ways that you've used "hardly never worked fine", you will have to post a specific method you used, and what happened.
