Book Review for: Android SQLLite Essentials

Android is a widely advertised and used operating system. It is found in many smart (and not so smart) devices. Soon it will be instrumental in moving the Internet of Things technologies forward. This book "Android SQLLite Essentials: is a good reference and walk though for Android programmers interested in SQLite database-based Android applications. The 4 chapters are understandable to intermediate to advanced Android developers. To make this book more readable to beginner developers more screen-shots and a little more step-by-step guiding would be ideal. Chapter 1 covers the SQLite architecture and other SQLite basics including how to connect to Android. Chapter 2 discusses how to use the database in Android views, it discusses some ideal techniques to use and the authors take you through the process of set-up up a database manager which is actually pretty cool. Chapter 3 discusses content providers and issues surrounding the techniques to create and interact with them. Lastly, in chapter 4 covers several other advanced topics from data security to content loaders. Some nice examples are given and they talk about some good SQL tips. I would recommend this book to Android developers who need to interact with SQLite databases:  http://bit.ly/1ohtDqr
