What is a content provider in business?

You can implement as many as you want , as you can see from the documentation here. To register a content provider, you need to add its corresponding <provider> tag in the Android Manifest. In most cases, however, you won’t need multiple content providers. One is usually enough, as it can handle multiple tables.

Content providers let you centralize content in one place and have many different applications access it as needed . A content provider behaves very much like a database where you can query it, edit its content, as well as add or delete content using insert(), update(), delete(), and query() methods.

A content provider is a company that supplies material such as text, music, or images for use on websites .
