You can use below code to get the content provider data in other app.. You need to use content resolver to fetch the data..

try {
    //URL provided in first app while creating the content provider
    val URL = "content://com.test.localstorage.MyContentProvider/authentication"
    val data = Uri.parse(URL)
    val cursor: Cursor? = contentResolver.query(data, null, null, null, "user_id")

    if (cursor != null) {
        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            do {
                return cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_id")).toString()
            } while (cursor.moveToNext())
        }
    }
} catch (ex: Exception) {
    ex.printStackTrace()
}
