What are com.sec.android.provider.* apps exactly?

android, database, provider, sqlite

Solution

However, i try to work on some databases that stored in directories like /data/data/com.sec.android.provider.*.

Those are not part of the Android SDK.

What does it mean by "sec" in the provider signature?

Samsung Electronics Corporation is my guess.

Problem

I know it's not a code question. However, i try to work on some databases that stored in directories like `/data/data/com.sec.android.provider.*`. What does it mean by "sec" in the provider signature? Does it depend on the manufacture provider? One example: the content provider for `call_logs` reads the database in `/data/data/com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider` on a Samsung. What read the same content provider on an HTC? Im a bit confused...
