It should be possible to use the Loader framework. CursorLoader is for content providers. We'd need a SQLiteLoader for a local database. Writing that is on my to-do list, before I cover loaders anywhere in my books.

If you wish to use CursorLoader, yes. > If I do, can a Content Provider be private to the application (ie. not > accessible to other applications on the device)? Yes. Make sure you have android:exported="false" in the <provider> element -- by default, providers are exported. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
