I'm curious if anyone has done any performance testing on querying a ContentProvider via ContentResolver vs querying a SQLiteDatabase object in the same process. I'm guessing that a ContentResolver query passes back a Cursor that communicates with the database through a Binder (Android IPC). This means that if I read the contents of 100 records through the Cursor that would result 100 Binder method calls. Are my guesses correct and if so would that be significantly slower than accessing the database in the same process? Source: Tips4all
