I'm adding to this thread because I too was looking at using the Gmail
content provider. I understand it's not documented as part of the API
(and I think it should be) but that hasn't stopped popular apps like
SMS Popup from using and building apps on the undocumented SMS API for
example.
Of course, I haven't been able to get the GMail content provider to
work, every time I try to get a cursor I get back null with code like
this:
Cursor mailCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse
("content://gmail-ls/messages/[email protected]/"), (new String[]
{"_id", "fromAddress", "subject"}), null, null, null);
Has anyone been able to get a cursor from the Gmail provider? Any help
would be appreciated as there are a few of us looking to try this.
