Except it won't support the "data survives uninstall" requirement: -- User installs App A -- App A realizes the provider isn't there and enables its own copy of the provider -- Life is good -- User installs App B -- App B sees that App A's provider is there, uses it -- Life is still good -- User uninstalls App A, wiping out the data -- App B sees that App A's provider isn't there and enables its own copy of the provider -- User sees the data is gone -- User is unhappy -- Life is not so good -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in London: http://skillsmatter.com/go/os-mobile-server -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
