Android Question how to use now "sharedUserId" in 2 apps ?

[peacemaker]

SMS permissions are now restricted. So the 1-st app (from Play Market) will offer to use 2-nd app version from my server, with SMS permissions.
How to setup both apps to use the same SQLite db ?

And how to tie it with "build configurations" for making 2 apps separately.

I guess, that the SQLite base of the 1-st app may be removed after installation of 2-nd app.
So, seems, 2-nd app must copy all files of the 1-st app at the very first start. Isn't it ?
But how ?

It is not possible. A cannot access files from B, B not from A.

If one app saves the data in rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal then the other app can access it with the external storage permission.

What is ContentProvider for it?

You don't need it. See my previous answer.

Thanks, Erel, your previous answer looks like if the 1st device has no External memory, just Internal - it means that "sharedUserId" will not help at all ?

 

[DonManfred]

The external storage is Internal.

if the 1st device has no External memory, just Internal

rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal

GetSafeDirDefaultExternal is on the Internal SDCard too.

And how to get the files from 1st app ?
