Updating SQLite from external App on Android

Question

If this has been answered already, kindly redirect me to the correct post.

Here is the problem:

I have 2 android apps which are under development. I have a requirement where one App (App A) will update a certain field in SQLite DB> Table 'A' and the other App (App B) has to read this entry. The DB will be created and maintained thru App B and not App A.

Is this possible? If so, how?

If more information is required, kindly let me know.

Thanks in advance

Ram

if you share the apps' user id you will be able to use the same database in both apps: sharedUserId

If you want your app data to be shared across all other apps then it will be better option to go for content providers instead of using sqlite.
