One of the ways to access data from SQLite in an Android activity is through Content Provider and Cursor Loader. Also, Content provider is suggested for the situation when more than one application need access to the data.

I am wondering if there is no requirement of data access from multiple application, should the content provider be used? If not then what is the other alternative? If yes, then what precautions should be taken so that other application can't use this data.
