<p>You can export a content provider but still limit access to it with the
<code><a

attribute. Note that due to a bug in versions of Android prior to {@link
android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#VERSION_GINGERBREAD} providers were exported
even if {@code android:exported} were set to {@code false}. Therefore, for
