Chapter 19
Android Content Providers: Access to Datastores
In this chapter, we will learn about one of the more advanced topics involving the Android operating system: Content Providers. Content Provider means: DataStore. We are familiar with the android.content package, having worked with its classes before, and we are about to get more familiar with the android.database package, as well as the android.provider package.
One of the most prolific Content Providers in the Android operating system is the SQLite database API, which is an integral part of Android. As such, this chapter is also going to cover an inherently advanced topic of SQLite Database Engine, Design Principles and overview of Android Content Provider API implementation.
