Contains the SQLite database management
|
classes that an application would use to manage its own private database.
|
<p>
|
Applications use these classes to manage private databases. If creating a
|
content provider, you will probably have to use these classes to create and
|
manage your own database to store content. See <a
|
href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html">Content Providers</a>
|
to learn the conventions for implementing a content provider. If you are working
|
with data sent to you by a provider, you do not use these SQLite classes, but
|
instead use the generic {@link android.database} classes.
|
|
<p>The Android SDK and Android emulators both include the
|
<a href="{@docRoot}studio/command-line/sqlite3.html">sqlite3</a> command-line
|
database tool. On your development machine, run the tool from the
|
<code>platform-tools/</code> folder of your SDK. On the emulator, run the tool
|
with adb shell, for example, <code>adb -e shell sqlite3</code>.
|
|
<p>The version of SQLite depends on the version of Android. See the following table:
|
<table style="width:auto;">
|
<tr><th>Android API</th><th>SQLite Version</th></tr>
|
<tr><td>API 27</td><td>3.19</td></tr>
|
<tr><td>API 26</td><td>3.18</td></tr>
|
<tr><td>API 24</td><td>3.9</td></tr>
|
<tr><td>API 21</td><td>3.8</td></tr>
|
<tr><td>API 11</td><td>3.7</td></tr>
|
<tr><td>API 8</td><td>3.6</td></tr>
|
<tr><td>API 3</td><td>3.5</td></tr>
|
<tr><td>API 1</td><td>3.4</td></tr>
|
</table>
|
|
<p>Some device manufacturers include different versions of SQLite on their devices.
|
There are two ways to programmatically determine the version number.
|
|
<ul>
|
<li>If available, use the sqlite3 tool, for example:
|
<code>adb -e shell sqlite3 --version</code>.</li>
|
<li>Create and query an in-memory database as shown in the following code sample:
|
<pre>
|
String query = "select sqlite_version() AS sqlite_version";
|
SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(":memory:", null);
|
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(query, null);
|
String sqliteVersion = "";
|
if (cursor.moveToNext()) {
|
sqliteVersion = cursor.getString(0);
|
}</pre>
|
</li>
|
</ul>
