Is there a way to load the ContentProvider's uri directly into a queryBuilder?

In most cases of building a ContentBuilder you must register it in the manifest and provide the authority so it knows where to look for the db when you call query().

We have an odd case. We are modifying the android source and wish for the OS itself to communicate with an app's database. So we built a ContentProvider for the OS to use. The only problem now is that there's nowhere to register this ContentProvider since there's no manifest in the OS.

Is there a way in our query() to simply pass the uri into the querybuilder so it knows where to look for the db?

Solution

  • I think you can create your own database where you can store all URIs to Content providers. Or maybe I did not understand you problem.
