Serialization usually makes this worse, not better, IMHO. > I have found Java Serialization to mySQL examples, but no sqlite > examples.

Serialization does not get your object to be represented as a double. It gets written to a stream, which typically writes to a local file: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/ObjectOutputStream.html You can probably arrange a way to have the stream dump to a byte[] and store that in a BLOB column. Or, don't use SQLite -- I seem to recall there is at least one object database for Android available. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
