Android development and sql database on windows 7

Question

I've just started developing android applications. Currently I have developed an app that can scan for wireless networks and list them on the screen.

My next goal is to save this data in an database. I thought that I could use my home computer runnning Win7 and install mysql. I've tried to install mysql 5.1 and 5.5 on my computer but with no success. Should I try something else or could you guys provide me with an installation guide?

I've already tried several guides, but with no luck. I always end up with "mysql server instance config wizard not responding"

Answer 1

Take a look at SQLite Database Browser at SourceForge. It's a nice, simple tool for manipulating SQLite data bases. If you want to write J2SE programs to access an SQLite database, download SQLiteJDBC from zentus.com.

Answer 2

You need to use SQLite for android development. When I use Windows 7 to develop, I use tksqlite. It a free download with a good GUI and lots of options. Download it here: http://code.google.com/p/tksqlite/
