[android-developers] sendBroadcast vs ContentProvider

Hi ,

I have a scenario where data needs to be continously exchanged between
two applications or rather, one application acts as the data provider
and the other simply uses it.
I am thinking of two possible solutions,
1. Use the sendBroadcast() - broadcast a app-directed intent with the
specific data
2. Make the data provider application as a content provider, where all
the data is written to sqlite data base, and the first application
queries for the data after every x seconds.

Here the data is mostly String, but can be a very long String.
The frequency of updates is very frequent.
The two applications cannot be combined.. :(

I am not sure of the implications of either approach, fast vs
performance vs preferred..
What should be the suggested approach?

Thanks in advance..
