1<HTML> 2<BODY> 3Contains the SQLite database management 4classes that an application would use to manage its own private database. 5<p> 6Applications use these classes to manage private databases. If creating a 7content provider, you will probably have to use these classes to create and 8manage your own database to store content. See <a 9href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html">Content Providers</a> 10to learn the conventions for implementing a content provider. If you are working 11with data sent to you by a provider, you do not use these SQLite classes, but 12instead use the generic {@link android.database} classes. 13 14<p>The Android SDK and Android emulators both include the 15<a href="{@docRoot}studio/command-line/sqlite3.html">sqlite3</a> command-line 16database tool. On your development machine, run the tool from the 17<code>platform-tools/</code> folder of your SDK. On the emulator, run the tool 18with adb shell, for example, <code>adb shell sqlite3</code>. 19 20<p>The version of SQLite depends on the version of Android. In the past, 21 SQLite upgrades have been delivered as part of a new API level, but more 22 recently SQLite may be upgraded within an API level. See the following 23 table: 24<table style="width:auto;"> 25 <tr><th>Android API</th><th>SQLite Version</th></tr> 26 <tr><td>API 35</td><td>3.44.3</td></tr> 27 <tr><td>API 34</td><td>3.42.0</td></tr> 28 <tr><td>API 34</td><td>3.39</td></tr> 29 <tr><td>API 33</td><td>3.32</td></tr> 30 <tr><td>API 32</td><td>3.32</td></tr> 31 <tr><td>API 31</td><td>3.32</td></tr> 32 <tr><td>API 30</td><td>3.28</td></tr> 33 <tr><td>API 28</td><td>3.22</td></tr> 34 <tr><td>API 27</td><td>3.19</td></tr> 35 <tr><td>API 26</td><td>3.18</td></tr> 36 <tr><td>API 24</td><td>3.9</td></tr> 37 <tr><td>API 21</td><td>3.8</td></tr> 38 <tr><td>API 11</td><td>3.7</td></tr> 39 <tr><td>API 8</td><td>3.6</td></tr> 40 <tr><td>API 3</td><td>3.5</td></tr> 41 <tr><td>API 1</td><td>3.4</td></tr> 42</table> 43 44<p>Some device manufacturers include different versions of SQLite on their devices. 45 There are two ways to programmatically determine the version number. 46 47<ul> 48 <li>If available, use the sqlite3 tool, for example: 49 <code>adb shell sqlite3 --version</code>.</li> 50 <li>Create and query an in-memory database as shown in the following code sample: 51 <pre> 52 String query = "select sqlite_version() AS sqlite_version"; 53 SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(":memory:", null); 54 Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(query, null); 55 String sqliteVersion = ""; 56 try { 57 if (cursor.moveToNext()) { 58 sqliteVersion = cursor.getString(0); 59 } 60 } finally { 61 cursor.close(); 62 }</pre> 63 </li> 64</ul> 65</BODY> 66</HTML> 67
