What is Content Provider?

A Content Provider manages access to a central repository of data. Providers are a standard part of the Android operating system and are used to share data between applications. They offer structured access to data and encapsulate the data's storage details, allowing applications to access and modify data through a standardized API (typically using URIs). Common use cases include accessing contacts, media, or calendar information.
