13.6. Stepping Through the Search Application

In Figure 13-3, we depict the steps involved as our content provider services search requests from the View and Controller using a REST-style network request. The content provider has the opportunity to cache network results in SQLite tables before notifying observers listening to URIs associated with the relevant data. Requests should move asynchronously between components. The View and Controller should not directly or synchronously invoke their own network requests.
