is there an equivalent to CoreData and AFIncrementalStore in Android

Question

Our data in our Android app has started to get more complex and is being updated. So, I need to persist relational data that I am pulling from our backend via REST json services. I'm thinking I should use a SQL lite data store on the android device rather than the serialized string data store we are currently using.

Is there something similar to CoreData and AFIncrementalStore from iOS in Android. I was looking at Green Dao with SQL-Lite but not sure if there is a better solution out there specialized for ORM from JSON REST services to SQL lite.

Answer 1

Take a look at OrmLite. You can use it with RoboSpice for automagically retrieve data from your REST service and persist them inside local database.
