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

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

provider security on all devices, protect your provider with a

signature-level permission. For information on defining a permission, see

the <a

element</a>.  For information on using the permission, see the <a
