Basically here what I want to do.


I already got a sqlite database when I tried Window Programming and I am trying to port it to
Android.I am using Mono for Android (C#).

I think I have to use the combination of SQLiteCursor and some adapter.I want it to display it
as in excel like layout.The window programe I have written is return the query result as DataTable and I have it display on the GridView.

So Here is my question.

How to I port my sqlite database to Android and display the query result of that database.

Any answer will be a big help to me and ask me if the question is not clear.

To port your SQLite database to Android, you will need to use a library such as SQLite.NET or SQLCipher for Android. Once you have the library installed, you can create a database connection and then query the database using standard SQL commands. To display the query results, you can use an adapter such as a CursorAdapter, which will allow you to bind the results of the query to a ListView or GridView. You can also use a custom list adapter if you want more control over how the data is displayed.
 

FAQ: Displaying Data with Sqlite (Android)

What is SQLite and why is it commonly used for displaying data in Android applications?

SQLite is a lightweight, open-source, and self-contained relational database management system that is commonly used in Android applications to store, retrieve, and display data. It is built into the Android operating system, making it easily accessible for developers to use. Its compact size and efficient performance make it ideal for mobile applications.

How do I display data from an SQLite database in my Android application?

To display data from an SQLite database in your Android application, you can use a combination of SQL queries and Android's ListView or RecyclerView components. First, you will need to retrieve the data from the database using a query, then populate the ListView or RecyclerView with the data using an adapter.

Can I customize the way data is displayed in my Android application using SQLite?

Yes, you can customize the way data is displayed in your Android application using SQLite. SQLite supports various data types, including text, numeric, and date/time, and you can use SQL queries to manipulate and format the data before displaying it in your application.

Is it possible to display data from multiple tables in an SQLite database in my Android application?

Yes, it is possible to display data from multiple tables in an SQLite database in your Android application. You can use SQL join queries to combine data from multiple tables and display it in a single ListView or RecyclerView. Alternatively, you can use nested queries to retrieve data from one table and use it to query another table.

Are there any limitations to displaying data with SQLite in Android applications?

While SQLite is a powerful tool for displaying data in Android applications, it does have some limitations. For example, it may not be suitable for handling large datasets or complex data relationships. Additionally, it is not a server-based database, so it may not be the best choice for applications that require multiple users to access and update data simultaneously.
