Android provides several ways to store user and app

data. SQLite is one way of storing user data. SQLite is a
very light weight database which comes with Android
OS. In this tutorial Ill be discussing how to write classes
to handle all SQLite operations.

AndroidHive

In this tutorial I am taking an example of storing user contacts in SQLite database. I am using a table Like

called Contacts to store user contacts. This table contains three columns id (INT), name (TEXT),
phone_number(TEXT).

3. Now extend your DatabaseHandler.java class from SQLiteOpenHelper.

publicclassDatabaseHandlerextendsSQLiteOpenHelper{

4. After extending your class from SQLiteOpenHelper you need to override two methods onCreate()
and onUpgrage()
o n Cr e a te () These is where we need to write create table statements. This is called when database
is created.
o n Upg r ade () This method is called when database is upgraded like modifying the table structure,
adding constraints to database etc.,

publicclassDatabaseHandlerextendsSQLiteOpenHelper{

//AllStaticvariables
//DatabaseVersion
privatestaticfinalintDATABASE_VERSION=1;

//DatabaseName
privatestaticfinalStringDATABASE_NAME="contactsManager";

//Contactstablename
privatestaticfinalStringTABLE_CONTACTS="contacts";

http://www.androidhive.info/2011/11/androidsqlitedatabasetutorial/ 2/14
24/11/2014 AndroidSQLiteDatabaseTutorial
//ContactsTableColumnsnames
privatestaticfinalStringKEY_ID="id";
privatestaticfinalStringKEY_NAME="name";
privatestaticfinalStringKEY_PH_NO="phone_number";

publicDatabaseHandler(Contextcontext){
super(context,DATABASE_NAME,null,DATABASE_VERSION);
}

//CreatingTables
@Override
publicvoidonCreate(SQLiteDatabasedb){
StringCREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE="CREATETABLE"+TABLE_CONTACTS+"("
+KEY_ID+"INTEGERPRIMARYKEY,"+KEY_NAME+"TEXT,"
+KEY_PH_NO+"TEXT"+")";
db.execSQL(CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE);
}

//Upgradingdatabase
@Override
publicvoidonUpgrade(SQLiteDatabasedb,intoldVersion,intnewVersion){
//Dropoldertableifexisted
db.execSQL("DROPTABLEIFEXISTS"+TABLE_CONTACTS);

//Createtablesagain
onCreate(db);
}

All CRUD Operations (Create, Read, Update and Delete)

Now we need to write methods for handling all database read and write operations. Here we are
implementing following methods for our contacts table.

//Addingnewcontact
publicvoidaddContact(Contactcontact){}

//Gettingsinglecontact
publicContactgetContact(intid){}

//GettingAllContacts
publicList<Contact>getAllContacts(){}

//GettingcontactsCount
publicintgetContactsCount(){}
//Updatingsinglecontact
publicintupdateContact(Contactcontact){}

//Deletingsinglecontact
publicvoiddeleteContact(Contactcontact){}

Inserting new Record

The a ddCo n t a ct () method accepts Contact object as parameter. We need to build ContentValues
parameters using Contact object. Once we inserted data in database we need to close the database
connection.

addContact()
//Addingnewcontact
publicvoidaddContact(Contactcontact){
SQLiteDatabasedb=this.getWritableDatabase();

ContentValuesvalues=newContentValues();
values.put(KEY_NAME,contact.getName());//ContactName
values.put(KEY_PH_NO,contact.getPhoneNumber());//ContactPhoneNumber

//InsertingRow
db.insert(TABLE_CONTACTS,null,values);
db.close();//Closingdatabaseconnection
}

Reading Row(s)

The following method g e t Co n t ac t () will read single contact row. It accepts id as parameter and will
return the matched row from the database.

getContact()
http://www.androidhive.info/2011/11/androidsqlitedatabasetutorial/ 3/14
24/11/2014 AndroidSQLiteDatabaseTutorial
getContact()
//Gettingsinglecontact
publicContactgetContact(intid){
SQLiteDatabasedb=this.getReadableDatabase();

Cursorcursor=db.query(TABLE_CONTACTS,newString[]{KEY_ID,
KEY_NAME,KEY_PH_NO},KEY_ID+"=?",
newString[]{String.valueOf(id)},null,null,null,null);
if(cursor!=null)
cursor.moveToFirst();

Contactcontact=newContact(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)),
cursor.getString(1),cursor.getString(2));
//returncontact
returncontact;
}

g e t A llCo n t a c ts () will return all contacts from database in array list format of Contact class type.
You need to write a for loop to go through each contact.

getAllContacts()
//GettingAllContacts
publicList<Contact>getAllContacts(){
List<Contact>contactList=newArrayList<Contact>();
//SelectAllQuery
StringselectQuery="SELECT*FROM"+TABLE_CONTACTS;

SQLiteDatabasedb=this.getWritableDatabase();
Cursorcursor=db.rawQuery(selectQuery,null);

//loopingthroughallrowsandaddingtolist
if(cursor.moveToFirst()){
do{
Contactcontact=newContact();
contact.setID(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)));
contact.setName(cursor.getString(1));
contact.setPhoneNumber(cursor.getString(2));
//Addingcontacttolist
contactList.add(contact);
}while(cursor.moveToNext());
}

//returncontactlist
returncontactList;
}

g e t Co n t ac t sC o u nt ( ) will return total number of contacts in SQLite database.

getContactsCount()
//GettingcontactsCount
publicintgetContactsCount(){
StringcountQuery="SELECT*FROM"+TABLE_CONTACTS;
SQLiteDatabasedb=this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursorcursor=db.rawQuery(countQuery,null);
cursor.close();

//returncount
returncursor.getCount();
}

Updating Record

u pda t eC o n t ac t () will update single contact in database. This method accepts Contact class object
as parameter.

updateContact()
//Updatingsinglecontact
publicintupdateContact(Contactcontact){
SQLiteDatabasedb=this.getWritableDatabase();

ContentValuesvalues=newContentValues();
values.put(KEY_NAME,contact.getName());
values.put(KEY_PH_NO,contact.getPhoneNumber());

//updatingrow
returndb.update(TABLE_CONTACTS,values,KEY_ID+"=?",

http://www.androidhive.info/2011/11/androidsqlitedatabasetutorial/ 4/14
24/11/2014 AndroidSQLiteDatabaseTutorial
newString[]{String.valueOf(contact.getID())});
}

Deleting Record

de le t e Co n t ac t () will delete single contact from database.

deleteContact()
//Deletingsinglecontact
publicvoiddeleteContact(Contactcontact){
SQLiteDatabasedb=this.getWritableDatabase();
db.delete(TABLE_CONTACTS,KEY_ID+"=?",
newString[]{String.valueOf(contact.getID())});
db.close();
}
