Hi all after working with my self-written db-access layer i just started using the ContentProvider as suggested by android. I implemented all db-access functions which i had in a class that inherits from DatabaseContentProvider and added some of my own public methods. These help me to initialize my database by reading stuff from a xml file. I need to call this method explicitly after the xml file is read. The Problem is, that i can't get my SelfWrittenContentProvider out of the Context. i tried with:
SelfWrittenContentProvider p = (SelfWrittenContentProvider)getContentResolver().getProvider(URI) ; but this just returns an interface and if i try to cast it i get a ClassCastException! I tried to instantiate it with new SelfWrittenContentProvider(); but it does not work either, because the DatabaseHelper (as in the NotepadExample) gives me a null-Database. i don't see why i need 2 instances anyway. the ContentProvider gets instantiated just as the application starts, right? How can i reach it, for example in an Activity or from a Context object? or did i misunderstand the whole use of those ContentProviders? What is the proper way to access a database? Please help me. i refactored my whole code that i can use those ContentProviders and now i don't know how to explicitly get them in my code....
