That is the way things should work. The SQLite file format is specially designed to be the same on every platform. If anything requires a database file to be converted into another format I don't think Doctor Hipp would accept it as genuine SQLite. What ContentProvider is, as far as I can work out, is a way of accessing a SQLite database file in a form convenient for Android apps. An alternative to using the SQLite API as downloadable from the SQLite site. But I'm not an Android programmer so I don't know.
