In this article we will show you the solution of how to connect database in android studio, on android devices, SQLite is a relational database that really is open-source and can be used for database operations like storing, manipulating, and retrieving persistent data.

This tutorial will show you how to use the device file explorer to see and find a SQLite database inside Android Studio.

A text file on a device is where data is stored by the open-source SQL database SQLite. Android already includes an implementation of the SQLite database.

All aspects of relational databases are supported by SQLite. You don't need to set up any particular type of connections for that either, such JDBC, ODBC, etc., in order to access the database.

The classes needed to handle your own databases are included in the main package, android.database.sqlite.

Simply use this method open Or CreateDatabase using your database name and mode as an argument to create a database.

You must receive an instance of the SQLite database that is returned to your own object.

A helper class called SQLiteOpenHelper has been provided to manage all database-related tasks. The database is created and updated automatically by it.

In order to conduct database operations for Android devices, such as storing, altering, or retrieving permanent data from the database, SQLite is indeed an open-source relational database.

It comes pre-installed on Android devices. Hence, no database setup or management tasks are required.

1. Go to the Projects tab and create a new one
2. New => New Project can be found in the File menu.
3. The template for the project should be "Empty Activity".
4. Kotlin should be selected as the language.
5. You can choose the minimum SDK based on your needs.
6. Make modifications to strings.xml, select it and modify it file under the “values” directory of the resource folder. This file will contain all strings that are used in the Application.
7. Modify the activity_main.xml file, Add a button widget in the layout of the activity.
8. Accessing the button in the MainActivity file, Add functionality of button in the MainActivity file. Here describe the operation to display a Toast message when the user taps on the button.

Conclusion :-

The class SQLiteOpenHelper is used for database setup and version control.

The implementation of the onCreate() & onUpgrade() methods of the SQLiteOpenHelper class must be provided before you can execute any database activity.

I hope this article on how to connect database in android studio helps you and the steps and method mentioned above are easy to follow and implement.
