Kotlin Android SQLite – Example Application

Kotlin Android SQLite – SQLite is an open source database based on SQL language. Android has SQLite
database implementation by default.

Kotlin Android SQLite Example Application

Koltin Android SQLite Example Application : In this Android Tutorial, we shall learn how to use SQLite
database in your Android Application with an example using Kotlin Programming language.

We shall look into typical classes that we use for using SQLite database.

DB Contract Class Contains schema (table name and column names) for program understandability.

DB Helper Class This class contains methods that do database operations like insert, select, update, delete, etc.

Model Data Class Used to carry objects (rows of DB table)

Activity Class This is class file of your Activity from which you call DB Helper’s methods for database activities
 Following are the details of the Android Application we created for this example.

Application Name SQLiteTutorial

Company name tutorialkart.com

Minimum SDK API 21: Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

Activity Empty Activity

You may keep rest of the values as default and create Android Application with Kotlin Support.
