How to search for a string in sql database - Android
<p>If i wanted to search for a string that is in the sql database below using java, how would i do so ? i honestly dont know where to start is their any material online that covers this?... thank you. I though i could have some sort of strstr() function or something that gathers the string in the table. </p>
