Sample program using this jar

MainActivity.java

package com.example.myproject;

import com.example.dbhelper.SQLiteHelper;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

 SQLiteHelper helper;
 Context context;
 String DBName;
 CursorFactory factory = null;
 int version = 1;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  context = this;
  DBName = "MyDBname";
  helper = new SQLiteHelper(context, DBName, factory, version);
  helper.createTable("MyFirstTable", new String[] { "id", "name" },
    new String[] { "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT", "TEXT" });
  System.out.println(helper.getFields("MyFirstTable"));
  System.out.println(helper.insertData("MyFirstTable",
    new String[] { "name" }, new String[] { "Gunaseelan" }));
  System.out.println(helper.getAllData("MyFirstTable"));
  System.out.println(helper.UpdateData("MyFirstTable",
    new String[] { "name" }, new String[] { "Guna" }, "name",
    "Gunaseelan"));
  System.out.println(helper.getAllData("MyFirstTable"));
  System.out.println(helper.deleteRecords("MyFirstTable", "name",
    new String[] { "Guna" }));
  System.out.println(helper.getAllData("MyFirstTable"));
  
  helper.addFields("MyFirstTable", "mark", "NUMBER", "");
  
  System.out.println(helper.insertData("MyFirstTable", new String[] {
    "name", "mark" }, new String[] { "Gunaseelan", "98" }));
  System.out.println(helper.getSelectedData("MyFirstTable", new String[] {
    "name", "mark" }, new String[] { "name", "mark" },
    new String[] { "Text", "Number" }, new String[] { "Gunaseelan",
      "98" }));
  System.out.println(helper.executeQuery("Select * from MyFirstTable"));
 }
}

Logcat output

[{Type=INTEGER, Filed=id}, {Type=TEXT, Filed=name}, {Type=NUMBER, Filed=mark}]
Transaction successfully completed
[{id=4, mark=, name=Gunaseelan}]
Transaction Successfully Updated
[{id=4, mark=, name=Guna}]
Number of rows deleted 1
Transaction successfully completed
[{mark=98, name=Gunaseelan}]
