1Android ContentProviderPaging Sample (Kotlin)
2===================================
3
4This sample demonstrates how to use the ContentProvider with paging support introduced
5in Android O. The ContentProvider now accepts additional arguments for the offset and
6the limit in the query method to support paging instead of fetching all the data in
7a single query method call.

9Introduction
10------------
11
12[ContentProvider][1] and [DocumentsProvider][2] now supports paging instead of fetching the all
13data at once.
14
15Starting from Android O, ContentProvider#query(Uri, String[], Bundle, CancellationSignal) and
16DocumentsProvider#query(Uri, String[], Bundle, CancellationSignal) methods are introduced.
17The Bundle accepts the keys for ContentResolver.QUERY_ARG_OFFSET as an starting offset and
18ContentResolver.QUERY_ARG_LIMIT as the number of items included in the returned Cursor object.
19
20Similarly, the returned Cursor object now has a Bundle object obtained by Cursor#getExtras().
21The Bundle is able to include data such as the  total size of the underlying data set.
