Answer 1

There's nothing special in storing image to SQLite. Just create table with BLOB record type and do smth like:

protected long saveBitmap(SQLiteDatabase database, Bitmap bmp)
{
    int size = bmp.getRowBytes() * bmp.getHeight(); 
    ByteBuffer b = ByteBuffer.allocate(size); bmp.copyPixelsToBuffer(b); 
    byte[] bytes = new byte[size];
    b.get(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
    ContentValues cv=new ContentValues();
    cv.put(CHUNK, bytes);
    this.id= database.insert(TABLE, null, cv);
}

Probably you migth want to save image chunk by chunk, since there's limits/recommended BLOB size (don't really recall how much)
