Excel reads CSV, so this would by far be your easiest option. Have a look at opencsv

http://opencsv.sourceforge.net

it contains pretty much everything you need. The process becomes as simple as:

1. read the data you wish to export from Sqlite.
2. write the results into a csv file (remember to name it *something***.csv**, so excel will know its a csv file)

and thats it really :)

EDIT: Based on your comments below, I suggest you take a look at this thread

How can I use external JARs in an Android project?

EDIT for gradle dependencies

Add compile 'com.opencsv:opencsv:4.1' to app gradle. That's it. No need to add jars.
