Using DataProvider on different package .

Question

this is my manifest :

<provider
    android:name="DataProvider"
    android:authorities="com.LiveResults.zizo_apps.widget.provider" />

but i get this error :

Unable to get provider com.LiveResults.zizo_apps.DataProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class
 "com.LiveResults.zizo_apps.DataProvider" 

why is he looking for the class in

com.LiveResults.zizo_apps instead of com.LiveResults.zizo_apps.widget

as i wrote in the manifest ?

Answer 1

Try changing

android:name="DataProvider"

android:name=".widget.DataProvider"
