Two questions here: 1. How do you close a content provider? Just by closing all open Cursors you got from it, or is there some other mechanism? I do not see anything on ContentResolver that feels like a "close" operation. 2. I suspect some apps do not need to keep their content providers open, but do need the Cursor data for an indefinite period (e.g., it's in a CursorAdapter in a ListView, and who knows how long the user will sit there). The deactivate() method *may* allow the content provider to go away, but it takes the data with it. Is there a convenient means to clone a Cursor into a local-only copy, one that allows the content provider to close up shop but leaves the Cursor data intact?
