Android-Populate ListView from SQLite Database (Insert, Update,Delete)

Hello Everyone.. I am going to post this after long time. I created this tutorial before 2 month but today I got time to post here.

Today in this tutorial I will show you:

1. Create table in SQLite
2. Insert data into SQLite
3. Update data into SQLite
4. Delete data from SQLite

What to do ?

• In this project I want to create a table in SQLite database. And store first name and last name for a person.
• Then I can edit/update them by clicking on it.
• Also, I can delete a person by long press on it.

How to do ?

• Create one SQLiteOpenHelper class to create table in database.
•  Create two Activities, one for adding data and second for displaying list of data
• Create BaseAdapter to bind data in listview
• Some xml files for layouts

What is Result ?

At the end of this tutorial we will get output as shown in following screenshots.

In this project we can add a person's first name and last name, edit it and delete it.

Special Thanks

Before moving towards coding I want to Thanks to Hiral Kanojiya. She wrote most of the code for this tutorial, I just guide her and then polished the code. Really without her help I could never get time to post this.

Thank You very much Hiral Kanojiya.
