No, it is a way for Android app components to expose and manipulate data with those components being in the same or different apps. How the data is actually stored (in a database, in SQLite, on a server, rot13 encoded steganographically in gif files) is immaterial. All Android apps are made up of multiple components, and the APIs for components decouples them as much as possible so they can be mixed and matched with an app or across apps. ContentProvider is one of those decoupling APIs for data. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html Roger -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk9RCioACgkQmOOfHg372QRxNQCffdDEx7EyGHt6Cqjl1B7hqmwr hyAAoLQ3w0Qjj03c/tqfaLYQ/aV1KYan =OZT/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
