Inserting data to sqlite database using ContentResolver

Question

I'd like to use ContentResolver.bulk(uri, ContentValues[]) method.

I have sqlite database stored under the database folder inside the app private storage. Database is named mydb.db

What would be the Uri to the table named BUDGET? Do i need to connect ContentResolver to my database somehow?

ContentResolver.bulk is used if you are using Content Provider. I dont think think you can use it for sqlite db operations. When bulk function is called ContentProvider's bulkInsert method is called — nandeesh

You need to implement a content provider. Your content provider would then store the data in the SQLite DB. See the Android docu for details.

Is it worth using instead regular sqlite database ?

That depends on your program, content providers work nicely with CursorLoader or when you want to export your data for external use.
