Querying a SQLite Database in Android: A Step-by-Step Guide

When developing an Android application that requires data storage and retrieval, a SQLite database can be a reliable option. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of connecting to a SQLite database in IntelliJ IDEA and running a test connection.

To get started, open the Data Sources and Drivers dialog by navigating to File > New > Data Source and selecting SQLite. You can also do this using the Database tool window (View > Tool Windows > Database) by clicking on the New icon () in the toolbar.

In the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, select the default driver option unless you have a specific driver required for your connection. Next, choose the connection type depending on your connection details:

* Default: Connect to the SQLite database file using its path.

* URL only: Enter the JDBC URL as is.

* Other: Break down the JDBC URL into connection details.

In the General tab of the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, specify the driver and connection type. Click OK to save your changes.

To connect to a SQLite database in Android, you need to create a data source that stores your connection details. This includes installing the necessary DBMS software on your machine if you are running a database locally.

Assuming you already have the prerequisites and the database is up and running, follow these steps:

1. Open the Data Sources and Drivers dialog.

2. Create a new data source by selecting SQLite.

3. Enter your connection details, such as the path to the SQLite database file or the JDBC URL.

4. Click OK to save your changes.

Once you have created a data source, you can run a test connection to ensure that your configuration is correct. To do this:

1. Open the Database tool window (View > Tool Windows > Database).

2. Right-click on the data source and select 'Run 'query sqlite database android''.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see a successful connection message.

That's it! By following these steps, you should now be able to query your SQLite database in Android using IntelliJ IDEA. For more information about SQLite, refer to the official documentation.
