Currently I had not been been able to find decent examples describing the context provider and context resolver relationship. If I were to write my own context provider then I would know what url and what other specific information such as its data types in order to consume the information.
I would assume however, that there are several applications on each one of our Androids already that provide information that can be readily consumed. How would we know about a 3rd party's content provider. Usually these programs that we grab through the market are void of documentation on their application that they are providing. I was under the assumption that I could look at what is currently available perhaps through the Dalvik Debug Tool when it is loaded up, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Just trying to get a feel for how to approach reusability, much like consuming web services online. If someone is already providing a consumable function for me, why code one up. ~ JFrog "Debugging is twice as difficult as coding something the first time.
