# Android App with FileProvider

A "FileProvider" is a special type of "ContentProvider"

The goal of this repo, is to create a container that can serve to produce an "empty android Application" (i.e `app.apk` file). 
As such the philosophy is to keep the process "simple" as to now make the understanding too difficult.

The Code regarding the FileProvider setup was adopted from  
https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/blob/master/ContentProvider/Files/app/src/main/java/com/commonsware/android/cp/files/AbstractFileProvider.java
and the copyright notice was retained in the files
