Content Provider Settings¶

Content Provider Setup Guide¶

To optimize multi-process data collection, ft-sdk >= 1.6.14 uses ContentProvider. The SDK uses the following configuration by default, which adapts based on the application's applicationId.

<provider
    android:name="com.ft.garble.db.FTContentProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.com.ft.sdk.provider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:multiprocess="true">
</provider>

Custom Provider¶

If customization is needed, you must use tools:replace to override the provider settings and also configure the meta-data accordingly.

The android:authorities in the provider must match the android:value in the meta-data.

<provider
    tools:replace="android:authorities"
    android:name="com.ft.sdk.garble.db.FTContentProvider"
    android:authorities="com.custom.app.provider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:multiprocess="true">
</provider>

<meta-data
    android:name="com.ft.sdk.PROVIDER_AUTHORITY"
    android:value="com.custom.app.provider" />
