SQLDroid lets you access your app's database through JDBC. Android ships with the necessary interfaces needed to use JDBC drivers, but it does not officially ship with a driver for its built-in SQLite database engine.
SQLDroid is a JDBC driver for Android's sqlite database (android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase) originally conceived by Kristian Lein-Mathisen. See http://sqldroid.org/.
SQLDroid lets you access your app's database through JDBC. Android ships with the necessary interfaces needed to use JDBC drivers, but it does not officially ship with a driver for its built-in SQLite database engine. When porting code from other projects, you can conveniently replace the JDBC url to jdbc:sqlite to access an SQLite database on Android.
The SQLDroid JAR with the JDBC driver for Android is 33KB. We also offer a RubyGem 'sqldroid' for use with Ruboto.

The SQLDroid JAR file is a straight collection of the compiled classes. If you have Ruby installed,you can generate the JAR using
rake jar
To make a gem for use with Ruboto run
rake gem
To release the gem to rubygems.org (requires permissions on rubygems.org) run
rake release
Building with mvn
SQLDroid is a normal Maven project. If you have Android 21 installed (sdkmanager --install platforms;android-21
), you can generate the JAR using
Sqlite Odbc Driver Download
mvn install
To release the jar to Maven Central (requires permissions and a PGP key) first tag the release version
mvn -Prelease release:prepare
Sqlite Jdbc Driver Download
Then deploy the artifact to Maven Central
