I'm building an app where I have a table for events and a table for venues. I want to be able to grant other applications access to this data. I have a few questions related to best practices for this kind of problem. How should I structure the database classes? I currently have classes for EventsDbAdapter and VenuesDbAdapter, which pr...
Hello, I am developing an application that involves some sensitive user information. I retrieve this information via a private web API. I am trying to determine the best way to get this data into my app. Right now I'm exploring creating a content provider that can do so; my hesitation is in making it secure.

I want store a file audio in my personal content provider. i save record: Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(CONTENT_URI, values); OutputStream os = getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri); but getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri); throws: 10-13 19:44:53.903: ERROR/TAB(5679): No files supported by provider at content://co...
I understand, that I can use ContentResolver's "openOutputStream()" to get a writeable stream of a file that is automatically created for my record, if it contains a "_data" attribute. But I can't find any docs on exactly where this file will be created? Can I alter this location? I'd be better if the provider would create them on the S...
I’m creating ContentProvider which is a proxy of another ContentProvider (for security issues and to give access to part of functionality of full app). public class GFContactsProvider extends ContactsProvider implements DatabaseConstants { private Context mContext; private ContentResolver mContentResolver; @Override ...
I'm using Android's Browser Bookmark ContentProvider to create a new bookmark programatically. The bookmark is created (I can retrieve it programatically via the ContentProvider) but the bookmark isn't visible in the browser bookmark view.
