 * Interface used to provide data to data views.

 * 
 * <pre>
 * class UsersProvider implements IDataProvider
 * {
 * 
 * 	public Iterator iterator(int first, int count)
 * 	{
 * 		((MyApplication)Application.get()).getUserDao().iterator(first, count);
 * 	}

 * 	public int size()
 * 	{
 * 		((MyApplication)Application.get()).getUserDao().getCount();
 * 	}
 * 
 * 	public IModel model(Object object)
 * 	{
 * 		return new DetachableUserModel((User)object);
 * 	}
 * }
 * </pre>
 * 
 * You can use the {@link IDetachable#detach()} method for cleaning up your IDataProvider instance.
 * So that you can do one query that returns both the size and the values if your dataset is small
 * enough the be able to do that.
