How to use Content provider without database and share data to another application

I want to share and receive data at some point from one application to another application, what's the best way to do?

I see content provider is used with database but I have only few strings to share to another applications. I have data stored in SHARED PREFERENCES, which other application needs to access and vice-versa.

Please provide suggestions.

TIA.

You can use MatrixCursor.You can populate MatrixCursor with data. From official doc

A mutable cursor implementation backed by an array of Objects. Use newRow() to add rows. Automatically expands internal capacity as needed.

newRow() addRow() method will help you to add columnValues

Here is sample code

try (MatrixCursor cursor = new MatrixCursor(new String[]{"id", "title"})) {
    cursor.addRow(new String[] { "1", "Book 1" });
    cursor.addRow(new String[] { "2", "Book 2" });

    cursor.newRow()
            .add("id", "3")
            .add("title", "Book 3");
} catch (Exception ignored) {

}
