title: Reading SQLITE database from Android memory
body: <p>I have created an sqlite database on a Java application and have pushed it to my android. I want to read this database (probably write into it later too). Most of the tutorials I have found so far create the DB within the android...</p>
  
  <p>I don't think I need to override the onCreate() and onUpdate() methods of SQLiteOpenHelper class do I ? Also the part that in the below tutorial he has created the tables, since I already have my database</p>
  
  <p>Any tutorial, sample code u guys might know of ? </p>
  
  <pre><code>public class DatabaseHandler extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
  
      // All Static variables
      // Database Version
      private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
  
      // Database Name
      private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "contactsManager";
  
      // Contacts table name
      private static final String TABLE_CONTACTS = "contacts";
  
      // Contacts Table Columns names
      private static final String KEY_ID = "id";
      private static final String KEY_NAME = "name";
      private static final String KEY_PH_NO = "phone_number";
  
      public DatabaseHandler(Context context) {
          super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
      }
  
      // Creating Tables
      @Override
      public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
          String CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_CONTACTS + "("
                  + KEY_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY," + KEY_NAME + " TEXT,"
                  + KEY_PH_NO + " TEXT" + ")";
          db.execSQL(CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE);
      }
  
      // Upgrading database
      @Override
      public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
          // Drop older table if existed
          db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_CONTACTS);
  
          // Create tables again
          onCreate(db);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I Simply need to open the DB I have in the memory, execute an sql query agianst my DB and get the result.</p>
