SQLite Database Management in Android

SQLite is the default SQL database used by Android. It stores data in a text file on the device and does not require any connection establishment. The android.database.sqlite package contains classes for managing databases. A database can be created by calling openOrCreateDatabase() and data can be inserted, queried, and retrieved using methods like execSQL(), rawQuery(), and getString(). Database operations are easier to manage using the SQLiteOpenHelper class.

VALUES('admin','admin');");
Database - Fetching

an object of the Cursor class. We will call a
method of this class called rawQuery and it
will return a resultset with the cursor pointing
to the table. We can move the cursor forward
and retrieve the data.

[Link]();
String username = [Link](0);
String password = [Link](1);
Database - Helper class
