How to import a .csv file to SQLite for Android?

You can download SQLite to you PC and tinker with it in the meantime. The import doesn't have to happen on the phone.

You can find many ways to do this process in their wiki.

Try something like this:

 ...
 BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inStream));
 String line = "";
 db.beginTransaction();
        try {
            while ((line = buffer.readLine()) != null) {
            String[] colums = line.split(",");
                if (colums.length != 4) {
                    Log.d("CSVParser", "Skipping Bad CSV Row");
                    continue;
                }
                ContentValues cv = new ContentValues(3);
                cv.put(dbCol0, colums[0].trim());
                cv.put(dbCol1, colums[1].trim());
                cv.put(dbCol2, colums[2].trim());
                cv.put(dbCol4, colums[3].trim());
                db.insert(TABLE, null, cv);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
   db.setTransactionSuccessful();
   db.endTransaction();

How to read the CSV file

Copy file.csv into the assets folder, and read it like this:

String mCSVfile = "file.csv";
AssetManager manager = context.getAssets();
InputStream inStream = null;
try {
     inStream = manager.open(mCSVfile);
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
    }

 BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inStream));
