Answer 1

Actually what you need is to check ORM tools for Android for persistence.And decide on which one suits you best.

Here are your top choices:

OrmLite : http://ormlite.com/sqlite_java_android_orm.shtml

GreenDao : http://greendao-orm.com/

Answer 2

Room Data Storage is a new way to store application data in Android. It is provided by google and is a part of the Android Architecture components. Room is offered as a high-level, first-party alternative to Realm, ORMLite, GreenDao and many others.

Answer 3

I recently released an open source version of Core Data for Android, called NexusData. You can find it here: https://github.com/dkharrat/NexusData

It's still early in development, but hopefully will mature over time.

Answer 4

Actually, I think that you have two solutions to save data without using directly SQLite.

You can use shared preference to save a value to a key. It permits to save information quickly, but it's quite limited. Also, I have heard about greenDAO (read the "get started"), unfortunately it will be harder to use than Core Data because you will not find any user interface.

Answer 5

Try Android Realm. It looks straight forward and easy to use
