Q12: Methods of SQLiteOpenHelper Class in Android Studio

SQLiteOpenHelper is an abstract class that helps manage database creation and version management.

Key Methods:

- onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db): Called when the database is created for the first time.

- onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion): Called when database version changes.

- getWritableDatabase(): Returns a writable database instance.

- getReadableDatabase(): Returns a readable database instance if writable not available.

- close(): Closes the database.

Example:

public class MyDBHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

public MyDBHelper(Context context) {

super(context, "mydb", null, 1);

public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT)");

public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldV, int newV) {

db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS users");

onCreate(db);
