Sharing Single SQLite database across multiple android apps.

Question

If the user has my android app installed in his device (of database size 300mb), How can i make all my other apps or thirdparty apps to freely access the database. ContentProvider may be a solution, but i am still in development stage so don't exactly who or how many third-party apps will leverage my database in-order to prespecify shared user id's in AndroidManifest.xml

If not SQLite is there any alternative android supporting DB supporting the requirement?

According to Storage Options Its better to use sqlite for one device.

But you are asking for sharing one database for multiple device. so use Network Connection and check Connecting to remote database

No i am not asking about sharing across "Multiple devices", my concern is just about "multiple apps within a device". ContentProvider has a mandate of requiring shared user id in-order give access to thirdparty apps, so i am looking for option that gives more freedom to thirdparty apps to read my sqlite without any id's or other mandates.
