Android provides
several ways to store
user and app data.
SQLite is one way of
storing user data.
SQLite is a very light

In this tutorial I am taking an example of storing user contacts in SQLite

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

Writing Contact Class

Before you go further you need to write your Contact class with all
getter and setter methods to maintain single contact as an object.

Writing SQLite Database Handler Class

We need to write our own class to handle all database CRUD(Create,
Read, Update and Delete) operations.
1. Create a new project by going to File New Android Project.
2. Once the project is created, create a new class in your project src
directory and name it as Da ta ba seH a ndl er. ja v a ( Right Click on
src/package New Class)
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()
on Cr ea t e( ) These is where we need to write create table
statements. This is called when database is created.
on Upg ra de( ) 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"

//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+
+KEY_PH_NO+"TEXT"+")";
db.execSQL(CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE);
}

//Upgradingdatabase
@Override
publicvoidonUpgrade(SQLiteDatabasedb,intoldVersion,
//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){}

http://www.androidhive.info/2011/11/androidsqlitedatabasetutorial/

4/20

7/12/2016

AndroidSQLiteDatabaseTutorial

//Gettingsinglecontact
publicContactgetContact(intid){}

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

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

//Deletingsinglecontact
publicvoiddeleteContact(Contactcontact){}

Inserting new Record

The ad dCo nta 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 getC on ta c t( ) will read single contact row. It
accepts id as parameter and will return the matched row from the
database.

getContact()

//Gettingsinglecontact
publicContactgetContact(intid){
http://www.androidhive.info/2011/11/androidsqlitedatabasetutorial/

5/20

7/12/2016

AndroidSQLiteDatabaseTutorial

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
if(cursor!=null)
cursor.moveToFirst();

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

get A l l C on t ac 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(
contact.setName(cursor.getString(1));
contact.setPhoneNumber(cursor.getString(2));
//Addingcontacttolist
contactList.add(contact);
}while(cursor.moveToNext());
}

//returncontactlist
returncontactList;
}

get C on t a ct sC ou 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
up da te Co nta c 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+"=?"
newString[]{String.valueOf(contact.getID())});

newString[]{String.valueOf(contact.getID())});
}

Deleting Record
del et e Con 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();
