Hi.

Content provider allows you to share databases between applications. If you do not have any additional requirements this is the best choice for you.

This is *not* a good solution. You should not be using the shared
user id, this will give you a lot more dangerous possibilities that
you have to account for, and programming with a shared user ID rather
than using a content provider just because you don't want to take a
day to learn how to use one is a bad idea...

Why is that? I mean, shared user id is 'secured' by the signing certificate. And since the applications are signed with the same certificate, they'll be granted signature-level permissions by default.

Because what he's doing is exactly the use case for having a content
provider. This is just a quick fix to not have to write one. But in
general when you want to share data between apps, you write a content
provider. If the apps are tightly integrated enough that they need a
shared use ID, then why does he need two apps in the first place? I'm
not saying that sharedUserId is useless, I'm just saying that if you
want to do this, there's a tool that was created to handle it, why
throw that out the window.
