Hi everyone, I am new to Android and I have many questions.
I am currently developing an application of social network with geolocation.
Certainly, it would create a database to contain information about a user (personal information) and information about groups, events, etc..
I checked some documents and I found that the database SqlLite is a database for some data and it will be saved in the device. So should I use an other database?

I hope I was clear. And thank you in advance.

depends on what you want to do...

I use sqlite databases with 50.000 - 100.000 entries in 20+ tables, stored on sd-card for easy syncing with the pc.

The engine works stable and very fast with this amount of data (using insert/update/delete/select operations [including join/union]).

So if your concern was about "some data" (but noch too much) or about "in the device" (but not on external media), then just ignore those comments and enjoy sqlite

Thanks nmc for the reply.
Actually, my concern is about an external database.

Than you should think about Client-Server-Architecture... but if you need a lot of database action, you should think about the local sqlite

Thanks a lot guys!!!
