sqliteHow can I use SQLite with Xamarin and C# to develop an Android app?


To use SQLite with Xamarin and C# to develop an Android app, you will need to download the SQLite.Net-PCL NuGet package. This package provides a C# wrapper around the native SQLite library and allows you to easily create, read, update, and delete data from an SQLite database.

Once the NuGet package is installed, you can use the following code to create a database and table:

// Create a database connection
var conn = new SQLiteConnection("mydatabase.db");

// Create a table
conn.CreateTable<MyTable>();

You can then use the following code to add, retrieve, update, and delete data from the table:

// Add data
conn.Insert(new MyTable { Name = "John" });

// Retrieve data
var query = conn.Table<MyTable>().Where(x => x.Name == "John");

// Update data
query.First().Name = "Jane";
conn.Update(query.First());

// Delete data
conn.Delete(query.First());

Finally, you can use the following code to close the connection:

conn.Close();
