Chapter 7. Content Providers and Observers

In most apps, we need to persist data and often use SQLite for this purpose.

A very common situation is that of the list and detail views. By using content providers, we do not just provide a way of communication between apps but also save ourselves much work in our own app.

In this chapter, you will learn about:

• Content providers
• Consuming and updating data using a content provider
• Changing projections to display Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in your app
• Communicating with other apps using content providers
