Applications use these classes to maange 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 Storing, Retrieving and Exposing Data to learn the conventions for implementing a content provider. See the NotePadProvider class in the NotePad sample application in the SDK for an example of a content provider. Android ships with SQLite version 3.4.0
If you are working with data sent to you by a provider, you will not use these SQLite classes, but instead use the generic {@link android.database} classes.
Android ships with the sqlite3 database tool in the tools/
folder. You can use this tool to browse or run SQL commands on the device. Run by
typing sqlite3
in a shell window.
