# 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

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 |
