Objectives:
What we are building here?
We will build an App that can store & retrieve books title and author name.
We want to create the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 | package com.hmkcode.android.model; public class Book { private int id; private String title; private String author; public Book(){} public Book(String title, String author) { super (); this .title = title; this .author = author; } //getters & setters @Override public String toString() { return "Book [id=" + id + ", title=" + title + ", author=" + author + "]" ; } } |
The recommended method to create a new SQLite database is to create a subclass ofSQLiteOpenHelper
and override the onCreate()
method, in which you can execute a SQLite command to create tables in the database.
This is the main step.

Define static constants for table & columns names;
// Books table name private static final String TABLE_BOOKS = "books"; // Books Table Columns names private static final String KEY_ID = "id"; private static final String KEY_TITLE = "title"; private static final String KEY_AUTHOR = "author"; private static final String[] COLUMNS = {KEY_ID,KEY_TITLE,KEY_AUTHOR};
