Sounds to me like you first need to read up on SQLite and how it works so you can create and manage your database. Then, after that, read up on how Android allows you to interact with your database.
Here is a link to an SQLite tutorial that I found just by googling "SQLite Tutorial." I can't vouch for how good it is because I didn't look it over, but I found it in about 5 seconds worth of time: http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/readme_sqlite_tutorial.html Here are some links to get you started with how to work with databases in Android: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#db http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/notepad/index.html (this tutorial walks through using a database) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
