Don't use a ContentProvider.

Since the content in question is going on /sdcard (right? right?!?),
solve the problem by managing the space, not managing the components.
Since you already require each application to have your own code anyway,
just use a regular Java class to access the /sdcard data store and dump
the ContentProvider interface.

I'm in total agreement on that point!
