I was just wondering if there were any courses that use SQLite in android or IOS.

Treehouse TeacherFor iOS you can check out the Core Data stage in iOS Foundations, and other data storage methods will be covered in the upcoming Build a Diary App Using Core Data project. Don't know if either covers SQLite specifically, though.
For Android, I'm trying to decide between a blog post and a workshop. This has come up a lot lately, so I'm leaning towards a workshop in early April.

Treehouse Guest TeacherAs Ben mentioned, we cover Core Data which is an object persistence framework and uses SQLite under the hood but you will never have to write a SQL query.

Treehouse TeacherThe most important things are the core concepts of storing and accessing data. You might really like our Database Foundations if you haven't taken that yet.
iOS wraps the database very nicely with Core Data. Android doesn't have an exact equivalent, though there are some open source libraries you can use. So again, the syntax will be very different but the approaches will mirror each other.
