Sqlite in Android

SQLite is the default SQL database used by Android. It stores data in a text file on the device and does not require any connection establishment. The android.database.sqlite package contains classes for managing databases. A database can be created by calling openOrCreateDatabase() and data can be inserted, queried, and retrieved using methods like execSQL(), rawQuery(), and getString(). Database operations are easier to manage using the SQLiteOpenHelper class.

DataBase in Android

• SQLite is a opensource SQL database that


stores data to a text file on a device. Android
comes in with built in SQLite database
implementation.

• SQLite supports all the relational database


features. In order to access this database, you
don't need to establish any kind of
connections for it like JDBC,ODBC e.t.c
Database - Package

• The main package is android.database.sqlite


that contains the classes to manage your own
databases
Database - Creation

• In order to create a database you just need to


call this method openOrCreateDatabase with
your database name and mode as a
parameter. It returns an instance of SQLite
database which you have to receive in your
own object.Its syntax is given below
SQLiteDatabase mydatabase = openOrCreateDatabase("your
database name",MODE_PRIVATE,null);
Database - Insertion

• we can create table or insert data into table


using execSQL method defined in
SQLiteDatabase class. Its syntax is given
below:
mydatabase.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
TutorialsPoint(Username VARCHAR,Password VARCHAR);");
mydatabase.execSQL("INSERT INTO TutorialsPoint
VALUES('admin','admin');");
Database - Fetching

• We can retrieve anything from database using


an object of the Cursor class. We will call a
method of this class called rawQuery and it
will return a resultset with the cursor pointing
to the table. We can move the cursor forward
and retrieve the data.
Cursor resultSet = mydatbase.rawQuery("Select * from
TutorialsPoint",null);
resultSet.moveToFirst();
String username = resultSet.getString(0);
String password = resultSet.getString(1);
Database - Helper class

• For managing all the operations related to the


database , an helper class has been given and
is called SQLiteOpenHelper. It automatically
manages the creation and update of the
database.
