The Laziest Way to Use SQLite in Android — EasiestSqlLibrary

I'm lazy. And I mean that in the best possible way — I hate writing boilerplate code. So when I needed SQLite in my Android app, I built the laziest SQL library possible.

The Problem

Android's default SQLite approach requires you to:

1. Write a SQLiteOpenHelper subclass
2. Define table creation SQL strings
3. Write CRUD methods with ContentValues
4. Handle cursors and close them properly
5. Deal with database upgrades

That's way too much work for storing some data.

The Solution: EasiestSqlLibrary

// Initialize once
EasiestDB.init(this);

// Create a table with columns - that's it
EasiestDB.addTable("users", "name", "email", "age");

// Insert data
EasiestDB.addRow("users", "John", "[e-mail]", "25");

// Read all data
List<EasiestDB.Row> rows = EasiestDB.getAllRows("users");

No SQL strings. No ContentValues. No Cursors. No boilerplate.
