Description
-----------

With Content Provider Helper (or CPH) a developer can interactivly
discover and query the data of
[android-s content providers](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html)

Android content-providers are similar to database-tables.
They have a name (aka "content:" uri),
columns and they can be queried similar to Sql.

as api to manage global accessable data (i.e. Images, Telephone-book, SMS, ...).

You can add and delete your own content: URIs manually or search for all available content providers on the device.
