Use PreferenceActivity and save preferences in ContentProvider, how?

Question

Hello, Jeff Sharkey in this post (http://goo.gl/G3wt) shows how to create save application preferences in database by hack on PreferenceActivity.

It said i can use a ContentProvider, too.

Can you give me an example on how to save preferences from PreferenceActivity to ContentProvider?

thanks

Answer 1

A ContentProvider is a sort of coding protocol how to access data from various storage types, such as data from database, files, xml, fetched from network etc.

I would not search for this example as it's not advised for Preferences. Just stick either with the inbuilt way, or how you have seen on the linked resources.
