CRUD App In Android Studio Using SQLite

Introduction

Before creating an app in Android Studio, I will explain in brief about the SQLite database. SQLiteDatabase is the base class for working with an SQLite database in Android, which provides some methods to open, query, update and close the database.

Open Android Studio and start a new Android Studio project

Then enter the application name and select path for it.

Click on Next

Select Minimum SDK for Phone and Tablet option,

Click Next and select Blank Activity,

Click Next and by default, a blank activity with name MainActivity will be displayed,

Click Finish.

By default, Hello world will be displayed and the application will look like this with MainActivity.

In activity_mail.xml, add TextView control.

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:text="CRUD for Student using SQLLite"
/>

Add a java class called DBHelper.java to create a database.

Extend this DBHelper.java class with SQLLiteOpenHelper class. Create a subclass of the SQLLiteOpenHelper class. This class provides the getReadableDatabase() and getWriteableDatabase() methods to get access to an SQLLiteDatabase object.

package com.test.ppandey.contactapp;
import android.content.ContentValues;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.DatabaseUtils;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
/**

*/
public class DBHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "contactdb.sqlite";
public static final String CONTACTS_TABLE_NAME = "mycontacts";
public static final String CONTACTS_COLUMN_ID = "id";
public static final String CONTACTS_COLUMN_STUNAME = "name";
public static final String CONTACTS_COLUMN_STUPHONE = "phone";
public static final String CONTACTS_COLUMN_STUSTREET = "street";
public static final String CONTACTS_COLUMN_STUEMAIL = "email";
public static final String CONTACTS_COLUMN_STUCITY = "place";
private HashMap hp;
public DBHelper(Context context)
{
super(context, DATABASE_NAME , null, 3);
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
db.execSQL(
"create table mycontacts " +
"(id integer primary key autoincrement, name text,phone text,email text, street text,place text)"
);
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS mycontacts");
onCreate(db);
}
public boolean addStudentContact(String contactname,String contactphone,String contactstreet,String contactemail, String contactplace){
/*,*/
SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues contantValues = new ContentValues();
contantValues.put("name",contactname);
contantValues.put("phone", contactphone);
contantValues.put("street",contactstreet);
contantValues.put("email",contactemail);
contantValues.put("place",contactplace);
db.insert("mycontacts", null, contantValues);
db.close();
return true;
}
public boolean updateStudentContact(Integer contactid,String contactname,String contactphone,String contactstreet,String contactemail, String contactplace)
{
/*,String contactname,*/
SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues contantValues = new ContentValues();
contantValues.put("name",contactname);
contantValues.put("phone", contactphone);
contantValues.put("street",contactstreet);
contantValues.put("email",contactemail);
contantValues.put("place",contactplace);
db.update("mycontacts", contantValues, "id = ?", new String[]{Integer.toString(contactid)});
db.close();
return true;
}
public Integer deleteContact(Integer id){
SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();
return db.delete("mycontacts","id = ?",new String[]{Integer.toString(id)});
}
public Cursor getData(int contactid){
SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor res=db.rawQuery("Select * from mycontacts where id = " + contactid + "", null);
return res;
}
public int numberOfRows(){
SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();
int numRows=(int) DatabaseUtils.queryNumEntries(db,CONTACTS_TABLE_NAME);
return numRows;
}
public ArrayList<String> getAllStudentContacts(){
ArrayList<String> arraylist= new ArrayList<String>();
SQLiteDatabase db=this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor=db.rawQuery("Select * from mycontacts",null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
arraylist.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(CONTACTS_COLUMN_STUNAME)));
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
return arraylist;
}
}

Add another java class called DisplayContact.java. Add controls to add and display a student detail like name, place, email, phone and city.

Implement some methods to add, update and delete student information in DisplayContact.java class file.

package com.test.ppandey.contactapp;

int id_To_Update = 0;
@Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_contact);
name = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.editTextName);
phone = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.editTextPhone);

if (Value > 0) {
//means this is the view part not the add contact part.
Cursor rs = mydb.getData(Value);
id_To_Update = Value;
rs.moveToFirst();
String stuname = rs.getString(rs.getColumnIndex(DBHelper.CONTACTS_COLUMN_STUNAME));

return true;
case R.id.Delete_Contact:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage(R.string.deleteContact)
.setPositiveButton(R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
mydb.deleteContact(id_To_Update);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Deleted Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

startActivity(intent);
}
})

public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// User cancelled the dialog

AlertDialog d = builder.create();
d.setTitle("Are you sure ?");
d.show();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
public void saveData(View view) {
/*, */
/* mydb.addContact(name.getText().toString(),email.getText().toString(), street.getText().toString(), place.getText().toString(), phone.getText().toString());
finish();*/
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
int Value = extras.getInt("id");
if (Value > 0) {
if (mydb.updateStudentContact(id_To_Update, name.getText().toString(), phone.getText().toString(), street.getText().toString(),email.getText().toString(), place.getText().toString())) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Successfully Updated", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Record not updated", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} else {
if (mydb.addStudentContact(name.getText().toString(), phone.getText().toString(),street.getText().toString(), email.getText().toString(), place.getText().toString())) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Successfully Added", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Record not added", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
}

Added strings.xml file in values folder and add the following code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">ContactApp</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
<string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="title_activity_display_contact">DisplayContact</string>
<string name="Add_New">Add New</string>
<string name="edit">Edit Contact</string>
<string name="delete">Delete Contact</string>
<string name="name">Name</string>
<string name="phone">Phone</string>
<string name="email">Email</string>
<string name="street">Street</string>
<string name="country">City/State/Zip</string>
<string name="save">Save Contact</string>
<string name="deleteContact">Are you sure, you want to delete it.</string>
<string name="yes">Yes</string>
<string name="no">No</string>
</resources>

In MainActivity.java class, first, create an object of DBHelper class. Using the getAllStudentContacts method, bind the listview objects with the student name.

Build the application and run the app.

Click on the right top to add new student information.

Fill the student information.

Student information is saved.

If you want to update student information, select one student from the list. Student information will be opened and right-click on the edit option to edit the student information and save the data.

Similarly, if you want to delete any record, select that student from the list and click on delete option on the right top to delete the student.

So, now we can see the database using Android Device Monitor.

Click on the red shaded icon to push the database. Save it in a folder.

Open the SQLite browser to open the database.

Summary

I hope you enjoyed creating a CRUD application in Android Studio.
