Hello Mark, Thanks you for the valuable info provided.
But still, I have a doubt as I am new to Java programming as well. Content_URI is a static variable and should be accessable? Y there in no compile time error but a run-time exception error.(I have included provider app in the settings of the accessing app). Is there any way to access using the static varibable of the provider in other apps. (As I read in some blogs to generate the JAR file of the app and integrate with other apps). Will this method work....if Yes.. Please let me know in detail how?
