| Contains the SQLite database management |
| classes that an application would use to manage its own private database. |
| <p> |
| 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 <a |
| href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html">Content Providers</a> |
| 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 {@link android.database} classes. |
| |
| <p>The Android SDK and Android emulators both include the |
| <a href="{@docRoot}studio/command-line/sqlite3.html">sqlite3</a> command-line |
| database tool. On your development machine, run the tool from the |
| <code>platform-tools/</code> folder of your SDK. On the emulator, run the tool |
| with adb shell, for example, <code>adb shell sqlite3</code>. |
| |
| <p>The version of SQLite depends on the version of Android. See the following table: |
| <table style="width:auto;"> |
| <tr><th>Android API</th><th>SQLite Version</th></tr> |
| <tr><td>LATEST</td><td>3.42.0</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 34</td><td>3.39</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 33</td><td>3.32</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 32</td><td>3.32</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 31</td><td>3.32</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 30</td><td>3.28</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 28</td><td>3.22</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 27</td><td>3.19</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 26</td><td>3.18</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 24</td><td>3.9</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 21</td><td>3.8</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 11</td><td>3.7</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 8</td><td>3.6</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 3</td><td>3.5</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>API 1</td><td>3.4</td></tr> |

| |
| <p>Some device manufacturers include different versions of SQLite on their devices. |
| There are two ways to programmatically determine the version number. |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>If available, use the sqlite3 tool, for example: |
| <code>adb shell sqlite3 --version</code>.</li> |
| <li>Create and query an in-memory database as shown in the following code sample: |
| <pre> |
| String query = "select sqlite_version() AS sqlite_version"; |
| SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(":memory:", null); |
| Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(query, null); |
| String sqliteVersion = ""; |
| try { |
| if (cursor.moveToNext()) { |
| sqliteVersion = cursor.getString(0); |
| } |
| } finally { |
| cursor.close(); |
| }</pre> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
