Right, but in my case I am dealing with a physical file, not data stored in a database. I have physical .png files located in the applications /files directory that I want to be able to send/share. As I was originally copying the file over to the cache directory and making them world readable via .exec(), I asked about spaces in filenames. I was told not to use this method, but to use the content provider, but that only gets called if I move away from the file: uri to the content: uri... but using a content provider, the share/send seems to be expecting some kind of database implementation.
Should I be looking for the file-specific uri in query() (those that end with .png), and if that hits, then create and return a cursor that contains the needed columns, fn, _data?
