Android-Content-Provider-for-IP-Addresses

A content provider within the context of Android is a mechanism by which an app can share data and other information to other apps. Examples of content providers in the Android ecosystem include the Calendar content provider as well as the Contacts content provider. This script, the Android Content Provider for IP Addresses, is a content provider that enables users to extract useful information from an IP address such as the country and city with which it is associated with. Content providers are to be distinguished from other forms of data storage in Android, such as SharedPreferences, which are designed to be primarily read in private mode by the app from which it originates. This script extracts information over the Internet surrounding a particular IP address using RESTful principles.
