Description

Android content-providers are similar to database-tables. They have a name (aka "content:" uri), columns and they can be queried similar to Sql.

Android uses [https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html content-providers] as api to manage global accessable data (i.e. Images, Telephone-book, SMS, ...).

ContentProviderHelper is a frontend to query installed content-providers.

You can add and delete your own content URIs manually or search for all available content providers on the device.

App permissions are set generously to provide maximum compatibility.

Requirements: Android-2.2 (api-8) or newer. (tested with android-2.2, 4.2, 4.4)

Program enhancements as merge-request are welcome.
