I am going to make my first app for android (no fear it’s just a school project and won’t be another useless app in the market :>).
So, before starting this task I did some tutorials, one of these (and which I thought would be very useful, because of the sqlite part) was the Notepad Tutorial. While working through it I saw it was originally designed for Android 1.8 or something (certainly it still worked on my android 4.1).
What I’m really wondering now is:
Is this code still “state of the art” in android programming (especially sqlite, but also the rest 🙂 or is it “deprecated”? If so, can you point me to something newer and better?
Thank you.
SQLite is definitely still the database available by default on every Android device. Also, the basics covered in this tutorial still apply to any Android version. Of course, every new version of the OS also provides new possibilities as to which controls you can use or other new APIs, but for very simple applications, this tutorial is still valid.
