I'm a beginner in Android programming, fairly well experienced in Java. I'm using Android Studio with KitKate and Lollipop Emus and HW, developing for Froyo. I want to know what's presently the best accepted and easiest to implement way of including a database with my Android App.
I've looked at ActiveAndroid, but I followed their documentation exactly and found I was far from the only person to struggle with it's implementation - even the best programmers I know told me I was flogging a dead horse.
A very commonly posted link is this: http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/
It's 6 years old, and I'd rather follow today's best practises.
TIA,
TH
[Edit]
I've explained that this question is with regards as to whether the ReignDesign post is still acceptable, and, or, if there are any other better resources or libraries one can use that make this very common task as easy as it should be.
