you do not need a content provider to access shared preferences. The fact that you are storing some data in "shared" preferences is sufficient to let other applications access the same. Context.getSharedPreferences(filename,..) gives you a SharedPreferences object that contains all the data shared across activities.
If you store in "preferences" only the activity that created it can access it. Activity.getPreferences() is used for the same.
