Answer from AI
In Android development, the following databases are commonly used:
-
SQLite — an embedded relational database available by default in Android. Used for storing structured data locally.
-
Room — a library from Google that is an abstraction over SQLite. Provides convenient and safe access to the database through DAO, supports migrations, and integrates with LiveData.
-
Realm — an object-oriented database that is easy to use and offers high performance.
-
Firebase Realtime Database / Firestore — cloud NoSQL databases from Google, often used for real-time data synchronization and cloud data storage.
The choice depends on the application's requirements: local storage, synchronization, data complexity, etc.
