50 * Content providers are one of the primary building blocks of Android applications, providing
51 * content to applications. They encapsulate data and provide it to applications through the single
52 * {@link ContentResolver} interface. A content provider is only required if you need to share
53 * data between multiple applications. For example, the contacts data is used by multiple
54 * applications and must be stored in a content provider. If you don't need to share data amongst
55 * multiple applications you can use a database directly via
56 * {@link android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase}.
57 *
58 * <p>When a request is made via
59 * a {@link ContentResolver} the system inspects the authority of the given URI and passes the
60 * request to the content provider registered with the authority. The content provider can interpret
61 * the rest of the URI however it wants. The {@link UriMatcher} class is helpful for parsing
62 * URIs.</p>
63 *
64 * <p>The primary methods that need to be implemented are:
65 * <ul>
66 *   <li>{@link #onCreate} which is called to initialize the provider</li>
67 *   <li>{@link #query} which returns data to the caller</li>
68 *   <li>{@link #insert} which inserts new data into the content provider</li>
69 *   <li>{@link #update} which updates existing data in the content provider</li>
70 *   <li>{@link #delete} which deletes data from the content provider</li>
71 *   <li>{@link #getType} which returns the MIME type of data in the content provider</li>
72 * </ul></p>
73 *
74 * <p class="caution">Data access methods (such as {@link #insert} and
75 * {@link #update}) may be called from many threads at once, and must be thread-safe.
76 * Other methods (such as {@link #onCreate}) are only called from the application
77 * main thread, and must avoid performing lengthy operations.  See the method
78 * descriptions for their expected thread behavior.</p>
79 *
80 * <p>Requests to {@link ContentResolver} are automatically forwarded to the appropriate
81 * ContentProvider instance, so subclasses don't have to worry about the details of
82 * cross-process calls.</p>
83 *
84 * <div class="special reference">
85 * <h3>Developer Guides</h3>
86 * <p>For more information about using content providers, read the
87 * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html">Content Providers</a>
