Hello,

I'm in a situation where I have to share some resources (i.e. images)
between several of my apps and I'd like to know if there's a
standardized and convenient way to do this besides the system-wide
Media Store. The reason I don't want to use the MediaStore is that the
resources are rather low-level (e.g. icons) and thus the user wouldn't
be interested in them cluttering the MediaStore.

As I see it there are three ways to share the resources:

1) Store them in the global MediaStore.
2) Put them on the SD card.
3) Implement a custom ContentProvider for this kind of shared
resources.

I like how a custom ContentProvider would encapsulate the way the data
is stored, but it seems to be a bit of unnecessary overhead to achieve
this. Writing to the SD card is convenient, but rather low-level. Are
there any other options suited for this problem?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Arne
