That's probably true.

I will be dealing with a somewhat similar situation later this week, 
when I attempt to join data from a ContentProvider and a SQLite database.

Since what I want in the end is a Cursor, the approach I am trying is to 
use a custom CursorWrapper subclass. It will get handed the Cursor from 
the ContentProvider and will fold in the data from the SQLite database 
on demand as the relevant values are requested. Caching gets a mite 
tricky (gotta remember to flush the cache on requery(), for example), 
but I see no reason it won't work.
