Pass data(String or int) to Content Provider in android.....SharedPreferences Tried but seems inaccessible here

I was 'trying to use Shared Preferences in ContentProvider'..........It seems that it is not possible.......

But at the end I want to send an id (int or Sting) from My_Activity to Content Provider for that I was Using SharedP......Any other alternative

I am calling CP like this

   PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
   if (pm.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) 
   {
      Intent i = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
      i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,MyFileContentProvider.CONTENT_URI);
      startActivityForResult(i, CAMERA_RESULT);
   } 
   else 
   {
      Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Camera is not available", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   }

The purpose of SharedPreferences is to store configuration data, it's not a communication channel.

If the id you want to pass is related to the action that's to be performed you can append it as a query parameter to your Uri using Uri.Builder.appendQueryParameter(String, String).

Your code will look like this:

  Intent i = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
  i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,MyFileContentProvider.CONTENT_URI
    .buildUpon().appendQueryParameter("id", "123456").build());

The resulting Uri will look like this:

content://YOUR.AUTHORITY/YOUR/PATH?id=123456

In your ContentProvider you can use Uri.getQueryParameter(String) to retrieve the parameter value.
