Content Provider is part of my application?

I need to create 3 things:

  • Content Provider
  • Service
  • Application

I'm wondering if these all three will be in one single project, or they will be three different projects?

Also how can I limit my Content Provider to my services and my applications?

Regards,
Pentium10

Answer 1

They would be a single project. They are application framework objects and not as heavyweight as you might currently believe.

As far as permissions, check the security guide

Answer 2

To get more detailled answers maybe you could specify what type of "Content Provider", "Service" and "Application" you 'need' to create - and why..? ..a pay-for-content app..? ..a music-download portal..?
