Hi.

I had a pagination related question posted earlier. Here I went through the posted answers and suggested choices and I realized that to implement pagination in an application I could still write db level queries and ensure that I could implement pagination, even if in a crude form. However I have few follow up questions now:

I am trying to show SMS from a content provider. Suppose I don't want to use content provider; can I access SMS table in database through my application. Aoes android's security framework allow that?
How do people generally handle pagination problems in android, related to content that they are not storing but instead are fetching through content providers. (Android's own or custom)

Isn't this a bigger problem. I am surprised to find so little text online about it.
