android.database.sqlite

Contains the SQLite database management classes that an application would use to manage its own private database.

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 Content Providers 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 android.database classes.

The Android SDK and Android emulators both include the sqlite3 command-line database tool. On your development machine, run the tool from the platform-tools/ folder of your SDK. On the emulator, run the tool with adb shell, for example, adb -e shell sqlite3.

The version of SQLite depends on the version of Android. See the following table:

Android API SQLite Version

API 27 3.19

API 26 3.18

API 24 3.9

API 21 3.8

API 11 3.7

API 8 3.6

API 3 3.5

API 1 3.4

Android API	SQLite Version
API 27	3.19
API 26	3.18
API 24	3.9
API 21	3.8
API 11	3.7
API 8	3.6
API 3	3.5
API 1	3.4

Some device manufacturers include different versions of SQLite on their devices. There are two ways to programmatically determine the version number.

If available, use the sqlite3 tool, for example: adb -e shell sqlite3 --version.

Create and query an in-memory database as shown in the following code sample:

     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);
     }

Interfaces

SQLiteCursorDriver	A driver for SQLiteCursors that is used to create them and gets notified by the cursors it creates on significant events in their lifetimes.
SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory	Used to allow returning sub-classes of `Cursor` when calling query.
SQLiteTransactionListener	A listener for transaction events.

Classes

SQLiteClosable	An object created from a SQLiteDatabase that can be closed.
SQLiteCursor	A Cursor implementation that exposes results from a query on a `SQLiteDatabase`.
SQLiteDatabase	Exposes methods to manage a SQLite database.
SQLiteDatabase.OpenParams	Wrapper for configuration parameters that are used for opening `SQLiteDatabase`
SQLiteDatabase.OpenParams.Builder	Builder for `OpenParams`.
SQLiteOpenHelper	A helper class to manage database creation and version management.
SQLiteProgram	A base class for compiled SQLite programs.
SQLiteQuery	Represents a query that reads the resulting rows into a `SQLiteQuery`.
SQLiteQueryBuilder	This is a convenience class that helps build SQL queries to be sent to `SQLiteDatabase` objects.
SQLiteStatement	Represents a statement that can be executed against a database.

Exceptions

SQLiteAbortException	An exception that indicates that the SQLite program was aborted.
SQLiteAccessPermException	This exception class is used when sqlite can't access the database file due to lack of permissions on the file.
SQLiteBindOrColumnIndexOutOfRangeException	Thrown if the the bind or column parameter index is out of range
SQLiteBlobTooBigException
SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException
SQLiteConstraintException	An exception that indicates that an integrity constraint was violated.
SQLiteDatabaseCorruptException	An exception that indicates that the SQLite database file is corrupt.
SQLiteDatabaseLockedException	Thrown if the database engine was unable to acquire the database locks it needs to do its job.
SQLiteDatatypeMismatchException
SQLiteDiskIOException	An exception that indicates that an IO error occured while accessing the SQLite database file.
SQLiteDoneException	An exception that indicates that the SQLite program is done.
SQLiteException	A SQLite exception that indicates there was an error with SQL parsing or execution.
SQLiteFullException	An exception that indicates that the SQLite database is full.
SQLiteMisuseException	This error can occur if the application creates a SQLiteStatement object and allows multiple threads in the application use it at the same time.
SQLiteOutOfMemoryException
SQLiteReadOnlyDatabaseException
SQLiteTableLockedException
