Question

I have two models

categories(id, name, slug)
places(id, name, cat_id)

when i have to insert the place details into the database i have a category slug string. So i will need to query the categories id and insert it in to the places category_id

DBAdapter.java

public class DBAdapter {
    // Database and version
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "nomad.db";
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 2;

    // Tables
    public static final String TABLE_CATEGORIES = "categories";
    public static final String TABLE_PLACES = "places";
    public static final String TABLE_PHOTOS = "photos";

    // Table Columns
    public static final String COLUMN_ID = "_id";
    public static final String COLUMN_NAME = "name";
    public static final String COLUMN_SLUG = "slug";
    public static final String COLUMN_ACTIVE = "active";

    public static final String COLUMN_DISTANCE = "distance";

First Create Column level constrains.

 final String CREATE_TABLE_STATE="CREATE TABLE booking_delivery ("
    + "id                INTEGER ,"   
    +"remark             TEXT, "
    +"barcode           INTEGER   REFERENCES customer_info(cust_barcode));";
