There was no backport, it was introduced in API level 19 as the doc itself mentions: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/documen...

I interpreted that statement as "this is available in API level 19 and up", not "this was introduced on the same date that we originally released API level 19", but it looks like you're correct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxHVeXbK1P4 That's way older than I was expecting.

Admittedly, there were bugs on the initial versions and wasn't really widely useable until about API 23 or so. But that's still years back.

I think certain performance issues have persisted until today, though?
