How to Perform CRUD Operations in Room Database in Android?
Last Updated :
23 Jul, 2025
Data from the app can be saved on users' devices in different ways. We can store data in the user's device in SQLite tables, shared preferences, and many more ways. In this article, we will take a look at saving data, reading, updating, and deleting data in Room Database on Android. We will perform CRUD operations using Room Database on Android. In this article, we will take a look at performing CRUD operations in Room Database in Android.
What we are going to build in this article?
We will be building a simple application in which we will be adding the different types of courses that are available on Geeks for Geeks. We will be storing all this data in Room Database and performing CRUD operations on these courses. A sample video is given below to get an idea about what we are going to do in this article. Note that we are going to implement this project using the Java language.
What is Room?
Room is a persistence library that provides an abstraction layer over the SQLite database to allow a more robust database. With the help of room, we can easily create the database and perform CRUD operations very easily.
Components of Room
The three main components of the room are Entity, Database, and DAO.
- Entity: Entity is a modal class that is annotated with @Entity. This class is having variables that will be our columns and the class is our table.
- Database: It is an abstract class where we will be storing all our database entries which we can call Entities.
- DAO: The full form of DAO is a Database access object which is an interface class with the help of it we can perform different operations in our database.
Now, let's move towards the implementation of Room Database in Android.
Step by Step Implementation
Step 1: Create a New Project
To create a new project in Android Studio please refer to How to Create/Start a New Project in Android Studio. Note that select Java as the programming language.
Step 2: Adding dependency for using Room in build.gradle files
Navigate to the app > Gradle Scripts > build.gradle file and add the below dependencies in the dependencies section.
// add below dependency for using room.
implementation 'androidx.room:room-runtime:2.2.5'
annotationProcessor 'androidx.room:room-compiler:2.2.5'
// add below dependency for using lifecycle extensions for room.
implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.2.0'
annotationProcessor 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:2.2.0'
After adding the above dependencies section. Now sync your project and we will move towards our XML file.
Step 3: Working with the activity_main.xml file
Navigate to the app > res > layout > activity_main.xml and add the below code to that file. Below is the code for the activity_main.xml file.
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<!--recycler view to display our data-->
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/idRVCourses"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!--fab to add new courses-->
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/idFABAdd"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginStart="18dp"
android:layout_marginTop="18dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="18dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="18dp"
android:src="@android:drawable/ic_input_add"
app:tint="@color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>
Step 4: Creating a modal class for storing our data
Navigate to the app > java > your apps package name > Right-click on it > New > Java class and name the class as CourseModal and add the below code to it. Comments are added inside the code to understand the code in more detail.
Java
import androidx.room.Entity;
import androidx.room.PrimaryKey;
// below line is for setting table name.
@Entity(tableName = "course_table")
public class CourseModal {
// below line is to auto increment
// id for each course.
@PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
// variable for our id.
private int id;
// below line is a variable
// for course name.
private String courseName;
// below line is use for
// course description.
private String courseDescription;
// below line is use
// for course duration.
private String courseDuration;
// below line we are creating constructor class.
// inside constructor class we are not passing
// our id because it is incrementing automatically
public CourseModal(String courseName, String courseDescription, String courseDuration) {
this.courseName = courseName;
this.courseDescription = courseDescription;
this.courseDuration = courseDuration;
}
// on below line we are creating
// getter and setter methods.
public String getCourseName() {
return courseName;
}
public void setCourseName(String courseName) {
this.courseName = courseName;
}
public String getCourseDescription() {
return courseDescription;
}
public void setCourseDescription(String courseDescription) {
this.courseDescription = courseDescription;
}
public String getCourseDuration() {
return courseDuration;
}
public void setCourseDuration(String courseDuration) {
this.courseDuration = courseDuration;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
}
Step 5: Creating a Dao interface for our database
Navigate to the app > java > your app's package name > Right-click on it > New > Java class and name as Dao and select Interface. After creating an interface class and add the below code to it. Comments are added inside the code to understand the code in more detail.
Java
import androidx.lifecycle.LiveData;
import androidx.room.Delete;
import androidx.room.Insert;
import androidx.room.Query;
import androidx.room.Update;
import java.util.List;
// Adding annotation
// to our Dao class
@androidx.room.Dao
public interface Dao {
// below method is use to
// add data to database.
@Insert
void insert(CourseModal model);
// below method is use to update
// the data in our database.
@Update
void update(CourseModal model);
// below line is use to delete a
// specific course in our database.
@Delete
void delete(CourseModal model);
// on below line we are making query to
// delete all courses from our database.
@Query("DELETE FROM course_table")
void deleteAllCourses();
// below line is to read all the courses from our database.
// in this we are ordering our courses in ascending order
// with our course name.
@Query("SELECT * FROM course_table ORDER BY courseName ASC")
LiveData<List<CourseModal>> getAllCourses();
}
Step 6: Creating a database class
Navigate to the app > java > your app's package name > Right-click on it > New > Java class and name it as CourseDatabase and add the below code to it. Comments are added inside the code to understand the code in more detail.

import androidx.sqlite.db.SupportSQLiteDatabase;
// adding annotation for our database entities and db version.
@Database(entities = {CourseModal.class}, version = 1)
public abstract class CourseDatabase extends RoomDatabase {
// below line is to create instance
// for our database class.
private static CourseDatabase instance;
// below line is to create
// abstract variable for dao.
public abstract Dao Dao();
// on below line we are getting instance for our database.
public static synchronized CourseDatabase getInstance(Context context) {
// below line is to check if
// the instance is null or not.
if (instance == null) {
// if the instance is null we
// are creating a new instance
instance =
// for creating a instance for our database
// we are creating a database builder and passing
// our database class with our database name.
Room.databaseBuilder(context.getApplicationContext(),
CourseDatabase.class, "course_database")
// below line is use to add fall back to
// destructive migration to our database.
.fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
// below line is to add callback
// to our database.
.addCallback(roomCallback)
// below line is to
// build our database.
.build();
}
// after creating an instance
// we are returning our instance
return instance;
}
// below line is to create a callback for our room database.
private static RoomDatabase.Callback roomCallback = new RoomDatabase.Callback() {
@Override
public void onCreate(@NonNull SupportSQLiteDatabase db) {
super.onCreate(db);
// this method is called when database is created
// and below line is to populate our data.
new PopulateDbAsyncTask(instance).execute();
}
};
// we are creating an async task class to perform task in background.
private static class PopulateDbAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
PopulateDbAsyncTask(CourseDatabase instance) {

CourseRVAdapter() {
super(DIFF_CALLBACK);
}
// creating a call back for item of recycler view.
private static final DiffUtil.ItemCallback<CourseModal> DIFF_CALLBACK = new DiffUtil.ItemCallback<CourseModal>() {
@Override
public boolean areItemsTheSame(CourseModal oldItem, CourseModal newItem) {
return oldItem.getId() == newItem.getId();
}
@Override
