Thanks for the reply Mark. As you say contacts is part of the eco system and hence I can see the benefit of a provider. But I'm failing to see how providers created by normals developers like myself are actually that useful unless you have one app that provides the provider and then the others make use of it, the problem with this is you need to make sure that the customer always purchases the app with the provider first!!!
So from what you say using external storage is a possibility. What are the pitfalls of this, I must admit I don't know anything about the relationship between android and external storage and the pro's and con's of this. Do all devices have external storage for instance also can databases be created and managed in external storage?
