I am developing a survey android app so that:

Each survey is downloaded from server as XML file.
A survey can have multiple versions (new survey, new XML).
When a new XML is downloaded it should overwrite its corresponding
previous XML.

I would like to store the files in a sqlite database. How can I insert my files into the db?

Should I use BLOB or store the content of the XML as string? In any case how should I do it?

Store the whole xml string as a standard string in the database. Then you can retrieve it and parse it easily.
