Saving ArrayList in SQLite database in Android

Question

I\'ve been working with SQLite on android and I would like to add an arraylist to a column in a table, and then fetch the data back as an arraylist. The arraylist is a list

Answer 1

To Insert :

ArrayList inputArray=new ArrayList();

//....Add Values to inputArray

Gson gson = new Gson();

String inputString= gson.toJson(inputArray);

System.out.println("inputString= " + inputString);

use "inputString" to save the value of ArrayList in SQLite Database

To retreive:

Get the String from the SQLiteDatabse what you saved and changed into ArrayList type like below: outputarray is a String which is get from SQLiteDatabase for this example.

Type type = new TypeToken>() {}.getType();

ArrayList finalOutputString = gson.fromJson(outputarray, type);

• In SQLite use text as format to store the string Value.....
