Second example.

Implementation of DBUtils module and example: DBUtils - Android databases are now simple!



Each time you start the program an SQLite database is created (under the data folder) and filled with some random data. The list shows the "failed tests" (grade <= 55).

B4J DBUtils is almost identical to B4A DBUtils module. This means that you can reuse the B4A code on the desktop. The database files are also interchangeable.

The program size is 3mb because of the included SQLite library:

Looks good Erel, is it using swing components?

Interesting, but doesn't work on my windows 8.1 PC...

Erel, can we have a look to source code

Which error do you get?

Code:
B4X:

Views (dimensions) seems different than windows, in my case.
