New Section for Software Development Entries

Considering that I haven't really done blog posts about software development, and I don't wanna mix tech stock reviews and software development contents that involve code examples and demos, I have decided that I'm gonna do some entries about the works I've done so far.

How to Utilize the onUpgrade method in your SqliteOpenHelper Class in Android

Based on this website's blogpost on how to non-destructively upgrade your Android app's database , I've encountered a scenario such as this: 1.

The blogpost is helpful as he highlighted how database table alteration can be done by incrementing the database version and onUpgrade method is triggered in your SqliteOpenHelper class.
