sqliteHow can I use SQLite with Xamarin?

SQLite is a lightweight and open-source database engine that can be used with Xamarin. It is an ideal choice for mobile applications as it does not require a server and can store data locally.

To use SQLite with Xamarin, you will need to install the SQLite.Net-PCL NuGet package. This package provides a basic ORM (Object Relational Mapping) for working with SQLite databases.

You can then use the following code to create a database and a table:

// Create a connection to the database
var db = new SQLiteConnection(dbPath);

// Create a table
db.CreateTable<TodoItem>();

You can then use the following code to insert data into the table:

// Create an item to insert
var item = new TodoItem { Name = "Demo Item", Description = "This is a demo item" };

// Insert the item
db.Insert(item);

You can also use the following code to query the table:

// Query the table
var query = db.Table<TodoItem>().Where(v => v.Name == "Demo Item");

// Iterate the results
foreach (var result in query)
    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + result.Name + " Description: " + result.Description);

The output of the above code would be:

Name: Demo Item Description: This is a demo item

By using the SQLite.Net-PCL NuGet package, you can easily integrate SQLite with your Xamarin application.
