What is the change that i need to do to implement an Iphone Database (.sqlite) to my android project?
Thanks for help
Android comes with SQLite3, you can either create your database from ground up or you can ship your application with a pre-populated database.
The following might prove useful:
1. SQLite Basics
2. Ship Android application with database
3. Using your own SQLite database in Android applications
Android also uses SQLite, so same DB should work.

I am creating an android app, UI/UX and andoid work are finished. I am new to database setup. Can anyone tell me which type of database I should use to store descent amount of data like signup details and app using details. Should I use DBMS or RDBMS or SQlite? help me. Thank you.
In my point of view , you have to use SQLite for android apps.
There are several benefits in SQLite like :
SQLite is embedded into every Android device.
Using an SQLite database in Android does not require a setup procedure or administration of the database.
You only have to define the SQL statements for creating and updating the database. Afterwards the database is automatically managed for you by the Android platform.
Is there any database manager for android where I can add,update and do all other option like phpmyadmin in PHP.
I just want to easy my work where I can add database manually without firing query.just help me because I have lots of data to insert and if I do it manually by firing query than its take around 2 months.
Thank you
There are some GUI based tools available, you can use either of any:
SQLite Manager, firefox plugin
SQLite Expert professional
FYI, there are 2 ways to integrate database in android application:
Create database from scratch using code
Use existing database (i.e. created using SQLite manager or any other third ,party tools), but here you have to write code to copy database into your application.
Search more about these 2 options and you would get plenty of resources!
I am considering using ORMLite for persistance in an android app. A requirement is to be able to sync the underlying android SQlite database across multiple android devices.
Is this possible with ORMLite? And how?
You can directly copy the database file over to another device and it will work if you didn't change the schema.
I wouldn't recomment that though. Instead you could load the Object tree from your db using ORMLite, copy it over, and write it back to the db with ORMLite. You might want to look into SyncAdapters too.
I see a sqllite database in another application, why can't I just just drag and drop from that application to mine in the eclipse environment? that way I can use data already in that database?
Android doesn't do too well with using an sqlite database file directly. Generally the way to go around it is to package an sqlite database as a resource and on first create of the app to load that resource and then connect to it and then copy all the data out of it. The downside of this is you are essentially doubling all your data.
If you are the publisher of the other app then you can list the database as a shared database to share between your apps.
Share SQLite database between 2 android apps?
Noone has written an Eclipse plugin that does that. You can write one if you feel it is both useful and worth your time.
When using a database for an Android application, is it possible to use a MySQL database, or do you have to use SQLite?
What I'm trying to do is make an app that allows users to see events on a map. These events are updated by admin staff from the office from a Java-based application that works with the MySQL database.
SqLite is present on the phone with some good tutorials out there to get you started using it.
Check the online docs for more details, and I suggest taking a look at the notepad sample, it will get you up to speed in no time.

As far as I know you have to use sqlite. MySQL needs a server which would mean you'd need a locally hosted mysql server on a phone which is going a bit overboard.
you have to use sqlite for your android side database
The best is to use content providers if you want to share information. Android provides built in interface for sqlite (android.database.sqlite) and so sqlite is easiest to use.
Another alternative to Sqlite is Berkeley DB for Android (Berkeley DB - Java Edition)
