Higher level database layer for Android?

Question

Are there any good database abstraction layers/object relational mappers/ActiveRecord implementations/whatever they are called for Android? I'm aware that db4o is officially supported, but it has quite a large footprint and I'd rather use a more conventional database (SQLite).

Answer 1

I am the main author of ORMLite which was designed to be small[ish] but still provide higher level functionality. ORMLite makes calls to the native Android OS database APIs to support its ORM functionality. See the following for general information

Here are some Android example applications:

Answer 2

I tried the Sugar ORM, which is very basic (and easy to use) but it worked for my needs.
