I mostly agree with the blog post. It is perhaps too hard to make proper app in Android, but all those abstractions are powerful, imho. Consider quick search/suggestions. If done properly, then you can plug your implementation also to system-wide search with just some config changes (and user permission, of course). Sure, content providers seem far too difficult (search dictionary example in dev docs), but then you can reuse them for your list activity or quick search or access them from another app.
