I have set up the model part of my application similar to the MicroJobsDatabase file in the MicroJobs sample application. As I like how slick the structure is, I wanted to have all of my data in this file, including data queried from content providers.
The way the MicroJobsDatabase class works is that it has several cursor factories that are returned to an Activity that needs the data. This works great because the MicroJobsDatabase class extends the SQLiteOpenHelper class. What I would like to do is create content provider cursors in this class in a similar fashion. The caveat seems to be that content resolvers and managed queries need to be called from an Activity subclass. So what is the common wisdom here? Query the content provider data in a separate Activity subclass and call it as a startActivtyForResult and deal with it that way? Or is there a way to query a content provider from a class that does not extend Activity? An example usage would be if I wanted to query the Contacts content provider to give my app an arraylist of current contacts and then let the user store "user groups" of those contacts in the SQLite database. In which case, the calling Activity would just request the Contacts cursor created in the model class and then use it as the list adapter. All of this works fine if I call the content providers from an Activity, but I would really lie to do that from my model class and create a cursor factory for each content provider I query. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am kinda stumped here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
