Hi,

Newbie here.

If I want to create several apps which all allow a user to created,
read, update and delete related data so a content provider would seem
to be the way to go. However I don't know which app a customer would
buy first, second and so on. So how do I make sure that:

1) The first app creates and registers the provider.
2) Subsequent apps only make use of the provider and don't recreate.
3) Make sure the provider gets upgraded if a new app is bought, but
also is not downgraded if an older app is bought after a new one.

>From reading the docs on content providers I just can see how any of
this is possible. The definition of providers doesn't seem flexible
enough to allow this kind of thing. If it isn't possible what is the
strategy because it looks like content providers are the only
mechanism for applications to share data.

Thanks

Steve
