Question

I have a ContentProvider Class and a DatabaseHelper Class (extends SQLiteOpenHelper).
The ContentProvider instantiates the Helper which needs access to a Context because the constructor requires it:

public DBHelper(Context context, AssetFileDescriptor db_asset) {
    super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);

Do you know at least a single way to get the Context from the ContentProvider?

Thanks 🙂

Answer 1

In your ContentProvider.onCreate method you can pass the result of getContext() to the DBHelper

    @Override
    public boolean onCreate() {
        dbHelper = new DBHelper(getContext(), db_asset);
        return true;
    }
