android - CursorLoader & SQLite without Content Provider

Question

I know this has been discussed yet I wanted to ask about the current state of the matter. Do i have to create a ContentProvider to use CursorLoader in connection with a sqli

Answer 1

Here is my solution, in my onCreateLoader

{
Uri u = Uri.parse("content://what_string_you_want");
return new CursorLoader(this, yourURI, projection, null, null, null) {
    private final ForceLoadContentObserver mObserver = new ForceLoadContentObserver();

    @Override
    public Cursor loadInBackground() {
        Cursor c = YOUR_DATABASE.doYourQuery(...);
        if (c != null) {
          // Ensure the cursor window is filled
           c.getCount();
           c.registerContentObserver(mObserver);
        }

        c.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), getUri());
        return c;
    }
};
}

After the code that will change DB, add

 getContentResolver().notifyChange(
            Uri.parse("content://same_with_first_string"), null);
