1．什么是ContentProvider
数据库在Android其中是私有的，当然这些数据包含文件数据和数据库数据以及一些其它类型的数据。
不能将数据库设为WORLD_READABLE,每一个数据库都仅仅能创建它的包訪问，
这意味着仅仅有由创建数据库的进程可訪问它。假设须要在进程间传递数据，
则能够使用AIDL/Binder或创建一个ContentProvider,可是不能跨越进程/包边界直接来使用数据库。
一个Content Provider类实现了一组标准的方法接口，从而可以让其它的应用保存或读取此Content Provider的各种数据类型。
也就是说，一个程序能够通过实现一个Content Provider的抽象接口将自己的数据暴露出去。
外界根本看不到，也不用看到这个应用暴露的数据在应用其中是怎样存储的，或者是用数据库存储还是用文件存储，还是通过网上获得，这些一切都不重要，
重要的是外界能够通过这一套标准及统一的接口和程序里的数据打交道，能够读取程序的数据，也能够删除程序的数据，
当然，中间也会涉及一些权限的问题。下边列举一些较常见的接口，这些接口例如以下所看到的。
· query（Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs,String sortOrder）：通过Uri进行查询，返回一个Cursor。
· insert（Uri url, ContentValues values）：将一组数据插入到Uri 指定的地方。
· update（Uri uri, ContentValues values, String where, String[] selectionArgs）：更新Uri指定位置的数据。
· delete（Uri url, String where, String[] selectionArgs）：删除指定Uri而且符合一定条件的数据。
2．什么是ContentResolver
外界的程序通过ContentResolver接口能够訪问ContentProvider提供的数据，在Activity其中通过getContentResolver()能够得到当前应用的 ContentResolver实例。
ContentResolver提供的接口和ContentProvider中须要实现的接口相应，主要有下面几个。
· query（Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs,String sortOrder）：通过Uri进行查询，返回一个Cursor。
· insert（Uri url, ContentValues values）：将一组数据插入到Uri 指定的地方。
· update（Uri uri, ContentValues values, String where, String[] selectionArgs）：更新Uri指定位置的数据。
· delete（Uri url, String where, String[] selectionArgs）：删除指定Uri而且符合一定条件的数据。
3．ContentProvider和ContentResolver中用到的Uri
在ContentProvider和 ContentResolver其中用到了Uri的形式通常有两种，一种是指定所有数据，还有一种是指定某个ID的数据。
我们看以下的样例。
· content://contacts/people/ 这个Uri指定的就是所有的联系人数据。
· content://contacts/people/1 这个Uri指定的是ID为1的联系人的数据。
在上边两个类中用到的Uri一般由3部分组成。
· 第一部分是方案："content://" 这部分永远不变
· 第二部分是授权："contacts"
· 第二部分是路径："people/","people/1"（假设没有指定ID，那么表示返回所有）。
因为URI通常比較长，并且有时候easy出错，且难以理解。所以，在Android其中定义了一些辅助类，并且定义了一些常量来取代这些长字符串的使用，比例如以下边的代码：
· Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI （联系人的URI）。
在我们的实例MyProvider中是例如以下定义的：
public static final String AUTHORITY="com.teleca.PeopleProvider";
public static final String PATH_SINGLE="people/#";
public static final String PATH_MULTIPLE="people";
public static final Uri content_URI=Uri.parse("content://"+AUTHORITY+"/"+PATH_MULTIPLE);

注意1：c.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);
这里是把Cursor C加入到ContentResolver的监督对象组中去。
一旦有与uri相关的变化，ContentResolver就回通知Cursor C.
可能Cursor有个私有的内部类ContentObserver的实现。ContentResolver是通过该类来通知Cursor的。
public abstract void setNotificationUri (ContentResolver cr, Uri uri)
Register to watch a content URI for changes. This can be the URI of a specific data row (for example, "content://my_provider_type/23"),
or a a generic URI for a content type.
Parameters
cr The content resolver from the caller‘s context. The listener attached to this resolver will be notified.
uri The content URI to watch.
注意2： getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null)
通知数据发生了变化。
public void notifyChange (Uri uri, ContentObserver observer)
Notify registered observers that a row was updated. To register, call registerContentObserver(). By default, CursorAdapter objects will get this notification.
Parameters
observer The observer that originated the change, may be null
这里为null的意思可能就是调用在ContentResolver中注冊的ContentObserver，反之则是调用參数指定的
