I bow to your expertise. To use on Android, however, you'll be dealing with a database accessible only to its originating project/application, so if you want to share data you'll need to create a content provider. As for the database: use Eclipse to create the database project and then write code in a helper DBAdapter.java class you'll want to add to src/. Sounding good? ;-) IMHO it's still at an equivalent stage of writing database stuff using QBasic. Bring on FP2.x! Which is a fair enough request: some of the latest devices have more grunt than the development machines some of us first used for FP development.
