I need records from a database not created by my application

I am working on an application to organize bookmarks. I know the bookmarks are located in /data/data/com.android.browser/databases, however there seems to be a problem querying a database outside of an application. In order to populate my listview with android's default browser bookmark database it appears I need to implement a "Content-Provider." Is there a better way to access these records? Is there a Content-Provider specific to this cause?

For anyone starting out with sqlite3 databases there is an excellent example here: http://marakana.com/forums/android/examples/55.html

You should use Browser content provider. Specifically, to deal with bookmarks you have to use the BOOKMARKS_URI.
