Update Android App Database

Question

So I got a simple app with a sqli database,

the app just shows the content which is saved in the database.

So if I am correct the sqli database is saved inside the app (apk),

what I am questioning myself is if I do have repeatedly upload the app / apk if I change, delete or add something in the database.

If yes is there a way around this, to like get the data from a database without repeatedly uploading the application if data has changed.

Answer 1

Yes, if you change something in the database you need to upload the apk, because the database is inside the apk. The alternative would be to put the database on a server. Then you would write a back end for your app in your language of choice, and this code would access the database. You could also use a Back End As a Service. Google BAAS to get info on the available options.
