My question is similar to Two content providers accessing the very same database, but I've few more questions around it:

Can two content providers from two different application access the same table. Say, I've database "db1" and table "names" under it created by CP1. Now, I want CP2 from another application able to detect if "db1/names" exist. If it does, then read from it and update value or so on, otherwise create one.
If above is possible, then where can I look at for implementation related sample code ?

what do you have problems with? what have you done so far? – pskink Jun 30 '14 at 20:01
Right now, CP1 and CP2 are creating their own databases and tables. I'm not sure how can I feed data from both CPs into one database? – bianca Jun 30 '14 at 20:41
use SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase() – pskink Jun 30 '14 at 21:05
I got the sample code here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7053809/share-sqlite-database-between-2-android-apps. But it requires to know the context of the another app. Is it possible to share database without knowing (independent of) the context of other app? May be not :( – bianca Jun 30 '14 at 21:28
context? what context do you mean? – pskink Jun 30 '14 at 21:38
"android.content.Context" – bianca Jun 30 '14 at 22:03
why not just to use SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase()? – pskink Jun 30 '14 at 22:07
