Can I access android MediaProvider (Images & Videos) databases directly from my code rather then through a content provider ?
I’m planning to have my own Cursor implementation so inside it I want to access the media databases directly, possible or android does not allow it ?
To my knowledge, no. The system databases for media are not directly available to applications, and so you must use a Content Provider to access the data they contain.
The purpose of Content Providers are to make database content available across applications, without actually exposing the underlying databases.
