Provider class public. Check: public class SavingsDbAdapter extends ContentProvider
:) And I implement all the methods for a ContentProvider that Eclipse asked me to. I do have some static code that runs first, as the NotesList example does at the bottom of the class. That code seems to run fine before I hit the exception. I also have added the android:multiprocess parameter to true, but I wouldn't expect that to have any effect either way on my problem.
