A similar question was asked here about a year ago, with no response... It appears that a ContentProvider can successfully use Binder.getCallingUid() to retrieve the UID of the process that is triggering calls to query(), insert(), etc.
Is this behavior that we can rely upon? The docs for getCallingUid() refer to a "transaction" without specifically stating what all, in Android, constitute such transactions.
