I am new to android and i have read so many things for best way to load data from an Sqlitedatabase, and from reading blog of Alex Lockwood. I finally decided to go with CursorLoader & LoaderManager. My problem is that many people want to read data without ContentProvider CursorLoader usage without ContentProvider do not know why they don't want to use ContentProvider can any body suggest me? If contentprovider is best solution than i just want to make URI for external database. Please, any body know how to make external database which is reside in sdcard? I want to fetch uri of that database

The first file allow the user to pick a photo from the gallery and sends it to an activity which will process it. The problem is that the image is too large for the phone's screen, so you only see the top corner of the image(as if it has been magnified). Button useGallery = (Button)findViewById(R.id.loadfromgallery); useGallery.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View arg0) { Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK); photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*"); startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_PHOTO); }}) ; @Override protected void

I want get a email for a particular phone number. Here is my code private static String getEmailAndName(String number, Context context) { String selection = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER+" like'%" + number +"%'"; String[] projection = new String[] {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DATA}; Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, null, null); String aniName = ""; if (c.moveToNext()) { aniName = c

I am developping an application using a ContentProvider. It is declared in the manifest : <provider android:name="foor.bar.FooBarProvider" android:authorities="foo.bar.FoorBarProvider" /> Everything is working fine, I can access the provider. The problem is that I want to create a demo version of my app and I want it to share the same content provider so when the user install the full version, the data is kept in sync. Also, it should be possible to install only the full or the demo version. Therefore, I have to include my content provider in both . Now, when I try to install both apps, I get

I have a SearchView in my ActionBar which is connected with a ContentProvider to give search suggestions. These suggestions do not come from a DB (as usual with ContentProvider), but from a web service. That's why I have to handle the Cursor of the ContentProvider asyncronously. My code works so far, but the search suggestions are always one letter "behind": After I enter "the" , I get all results from the previous search => "th" After I enter "they" , I get all results from the previous search => "the" How can I tell the SearchView that the Cursor has new results in it? I looked into

Here is a test I ran to understand Android Content Provider permissions: App ProviderApp manifest: <provider android:authorities="com.mycompany.myProviderApp" android:name="com.mycompany.myProviderApp.ContentProviderForMyOtherApps" android:exported="true"/> I also implemented a dummy ContentProvider ( ContentProviderForMyOtherApps ) with a basic query method returning a string in ProviderApp : public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) { String[] cols = {"column1"}; MatrixCursor cursor = new MatrixCursor(cols); MatrixCursor

My previous question ( Is it possible to share an image on Android via a data URL? ) is related to this question. I have figured out how to share an image from my application to another application without having permission to write files to external storage. However, I do still get a number of problem behaviors: When I try to share the image from my phone (Android 2.2.2), fatal errors occur in the receiving applications, and they doesn't come up with the image at all. (Could this be a result of some operation in my App that isn't supported on Android 2.2.2? Or would that have caused an error

I have two lists. Let's call them AlbumsList and PicturesList. The first one shows photo album cover (one of the images from it) it's name and number of pictures in it. The second one shows all of the images contained in a chosen album. I've already done it using File class but it works too slow and finds all of the images on device when I need only those from gallery. I've read about MediaStore content provider but have never used it. So I have 2 questions: How to find "photo albums" (folders in gallery containing pictures), thumbnails for them and number of pictures in them using MediaStore
