    Study Notes

    SQLite Database

    • SQLite is an open-source relational database used to perform database operations on Android devices, storing, manipulating, or retrieving persistent data from the database.
    • It is embedded in Android by default, eliminating the need for database setup or administration tasks.

    SQLiteOpenHelper Class

    • The SQLiteOpenHelper class provides functionality to use the SQLite database and manages database creation and version management.
    • It provides two methods: onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) and onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion).
    • The SQLiteOpenHelper class is responsible for opening a database if it exists, creating a database if it doesn't, and upgrading if required.

    Constructors of SQLiteOpenHelper

    • SQLiteOpenHelper(Context context, String name, SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory factory, int version) creates an object for creating, opening, and managing the database.
    • SQLiteOpenHelper(Context context, String name, SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory factory, int version, DatabaseErrorHandler errorHandler) creates an object for creating, opening, and managing the database, specifying an error handler.

    Methods of SQLiteOpenHelper Class

    • onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) is called only once when the database is created for the first time.
    • onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) is called when the database needs to be upgraded.
    • close() closes the database object.

    SQLiteDatabase Class

    • The SQLiteDatabase class contains methods to be performed on the SQLite database, such as create, update, delete, and select.
    • execSQL(String sql) executes the SQL query, excluding select queries.
    • insert(String table, String nullColumnHack, ContentValues values) inserts a record into the database, specifying the table name and values to be stored.
    • update(String table, ContentValues values, String whereClause, String[] whereArgs) updates a row in the database.
    • query(String table, String[] columns, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String groupBy, String having, String orderBy) returns a cursor over the result set.

    Android SQLite Cursor

    • A Cursor represents the entire result set of the query.
    • moveToFirst() allows us to test whether the query returned an empty set and moves the cursor to the first result when the set is not empty.
