如何在Java中下载和解析SQL文件

Question

I'm learning java/android development and I have an idea of an app that I want to make. I want to make an app that displays a list of upcoming games (just an example) that I keep updating frequently. And in order to do that, it downloads a database file (or read it directly without downloading) and parse it to display the information each time the user opens the app.

I searched a lot and I didn't find any way to do it. I'll be thankful if someone tells me how. I know that it's possible to use a RSS feed but I want to use database if possible. PS: sorry if my English is terrible.

Answer 1

I would recommend SQL database H2 . Simply include the .jar with your project (follow the website installation instructions) and use it in your code with:

Class.forName("org.h2.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:h2:"+path_to_database);
con.createStatement().execute("CREATE TABLE games(name VARCHAR(80))");
con.createStatement().execute("INSERT INTO games(name) VALUES('Halo 3')");
// etc...

Their documentation is pretty comprehensive to get you started with reading and writing from the database.
