CRUD App In Android Studio Using SQLite

Before creating an app in Android Studio, I will explain in brief about SQLite database. SQLiteDatabase is the base class for working with a SQLite database in Android, which provides some methods to open, query, update and close the database. 

Open Android Studio and start a new Android Studio project

 

Then enter application name and select path for it.



Click on Next

Select Minimum SDK for Phone and Tablet option

 

Click Next and select Blank Activity,

 

Click Next and by default a blank activity with name MainActivity will be displayed,



Click Finish.

 

By default, Hello world will be displayed and application will look like this with MainActivity.

 

In activity_mail.xml, add TextView control.

  1. <TextView  
  2.    android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
  3.    android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
  4.    android:id="@+id/textView"  
  5.    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"  
  6.    android:textSize="30dp"  
  7.    android:text="CRUD for Student using SQLLite"  
  8. />   

Add a java class called DBHelper.java to create a database.

 

Extend this DBHelper.java class with SQLLiteOpenHelper class. Create a subclass of the SQLLiteOpenHelper class. This class provides the getReadableDatabase() and getWriteableDatabase() methods to get access to an SQLLiteDatabase object.

In MainActivity.java class, first create an object of DBHelper class. Using getAllStudentContacts method, bind listview object with student name.

Build the application and run the app.



Click on right top to add a new student information.



Fill the student information.



Student information is saved.



If you want to update student information, select one student from the list. Student information will be opened and right click on edit option to edit the student information and save the data.



Similarly, if you want to delete any record, select that student from the list and click on delete option on right top to delete student.

So, now we can see the database using Android Device Monitor. 

Click on red shaded icon to push the database. Save it in a folder.

Open SQLite browser to open the database.
