Accessing the Content Provider with a Content Resolver starts at 19:27

Welcome to my Android Content Provider tutorial. I’ve received many questions about this topic. I have received many questions specifically about how to access a Content Provider from another application. So here I’ll make to apps. One will function as the Content Provider and the other will access data using a Content Resolver.

I haven’t found a tutorial online that explains how easy it is to use Content Resolvers in this way, so I hope this video is very useful.

    Hey Derek,

    How are you adding key value pairs to the "values" hashmap in ContactProvider.java?

    The only values.put commands i see in the source code is for a ContentValues object.

    wow, this is so much code to memorize, and you make it seem so easy! I am always amazed by how well versed you are in every language. I cant imagine the amount of time it would take to learn everything that you have made a tutorial about.

    Hi Mr.Banas. I've never wrote a comment under your videos because your examples and your way of explaining things are amazingly crystal clear and I could never say enough "thank you" for doing this (plus I don't want to waste your precious time 🙂 ).
    However I'm struggling so hard with the "HashMap" you used and googling it isn't helping so much. If you have some time, I'd like you to help me with that.
    Suppose I would have to map multiple columns and not only "name". How could i do that? Like, I've 4 columns: id, name, surname, age.
    I did : "private static HashMap< String, List<Person> > values;" but the compiler complains me with "queryBuilder.setProjectionMap(values);" because it isn't expecting a List in the HashMap.
    (I'd like to build an ArrayList with a bunch of Person in it, all having the 4 columns that I previously mentioned and then passing it to the database). Again, thanks for your time and patience. Sorry if my English isn't perfect but I'm Italian and I'm trying my best :). Cheers.

    Excellent tutorial! I am going to use ContentProviders in my app. I would like to ask you,if you could put a tutorial in TDD. For example how to test Views like RecyclerView,EditText,ImageView etc with robolectric as well as SQLite and Volley library. Especially the last one is quite hard. TDD is a topic that all Mobile Dev companies ask from candidates. In fact a company gave me a test.I did most of the parts,but not the TDD and failed. :(.

    hello Derek, your tutorials are awesome but i request you to please add description of the tutorial in the name of the tutorial so that we can directly see what tutorial i want to see. Also it would be boosting the views as usually we just type our problem and look for video for that but in your videos we can not see what the tutorial is for until i open each and every tutorial.
    Thank you.
    hope you make the changes

    Hi Derek, thanks for all these tutorial videos. I'd like to ask what is the purpose of Hashmap<String, String> values. I know it's for matching column names inside database. How does it pass anything to database without initializing and putting any values to it? Thanks in advance, keep up the good work. Have nice day.

    Hi Derek, great toturial ! I tried step by step, but finally provider worked while resolver did not. There is NullPointerException on boolean android.database.Cursor.moveToFirst(). I checked, the cursor form Cursor cursor = mResolver.query(CONTENT_URL, projection, null, null, null); returned null. I also checked contentURL, and compared the code, but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot !

    Hey Derek I really enjoy your videos and they are really helpful. I'm currently on lesson 14 of your Java tutorials.

    I ultimately want to learn to make Android apps.
    At what point should I switch over from your Java tutorials to your Android app tutorials.

    Hi Derek ! Is it possible to use only logic and the android api documentation to create something like this or with android we always have to rely on examples in the android api?if so it would be awesome if you did a one-time tutorial using logic and looking up methods and classes in the documentation.Thanks In Advance !

    Hi Derek. Thanks for all tutorials. I have a question that isn't about this, but in general. This month I'm gonna start my career as a programmer, I've learned JAVA, C#, (html,css,javascript), MySQL, and some frameworks like Spring. I know you have experience, what is you opinion being a Developer/Programmer? Sorry if the question sounds banal or crazy, and my English, I'm not native speaker.
    I've recomment this, I think now is also on Google+.
    And for end i would say all the videos where, are, and would be inspiration for me, ☺
