Content Provider Helper vs Openlib
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Content Provider Helper
This helper is a frontend to query installed content providers. Android's content providers are similar to database tables.: They have a name (aka "content:" uri), columns and they can be queried similar to SQL. Android uses content-providers as API to manage global accessable data (i.e. images, address book, text messages, ...). Forked from jenzz-s ContentProviderHelper which is not maintained anymore. App permissions are set generously to provide maximum compatibility.
Openlib
Openlib is an open source app to download and read books from shadow library (Anna’s Archive). The App Has Built In Reader to Read Books. As Anna’s Archive doesn't have an API, the app works by sending requests to Anna’s Archive and parses the response to objects. The app extracts the mirrors from the responses, downloads the book and stores it in the application's document directory. Note : The app requires VPN to function properly . Without VPN the might show the captcha required page even after completing the captcha Main Features: Trending Books Download And Read Books With In-Built Viewer Supports Epub And Pdf Formats Open Books With Your Favourite Ebooks Reader Filter Books Sort Books
