This document lists the steps needed to upgrade the sources in this repository with the latest revision from upstream.
The upgrade takes place on aosp-main
. The primary directory is below.
external/sqlite
The upgrade steps are:
- Select a version for the upgrade.
- Find the autoconf amalgamation tarball. For release 3.42.0, the URL is sqlite-autoconf-3420000.tar.gz.
- Change to the directory
external/sqlite
in the workspace. - Run the script
UPDATE-SOURCE.bash
. This script is executable. The arguments are the tarball URL and the version. Invoke the script without arguments for an example.
UPDATE-SOURCE.bash
may fail if the Android patch cannot be applied cleanly. If
this happens, correct the patch failures by hand and rebuild the Android patch
file. Use the script REBUILD-ANDROID-PATCH.bash
to rebuild the patch file.
Then rerun UPDATE-SOURCE.bash
. It is important that UPDATE-SOURCE.bash
run
without errors.

There is a CTS test that verifies the SQLite version. This must be updated as
well and it must be updated within aosp-main
at the same time as the source.
cts/tests/tests/database/src/android/database/sqlite/cts/SQLiteDatabaseTest.java
Update the following two constants (the values below are for SQLite 3.42.0).
static final String EXPECTED_MAJOR_MINOR_VERSION = "3.42";
static final int EXPECTED_MIN_PATCH_LEVEL = 0;
frameworks/base/core/java/android/database/sqlite/package.html
This is a documentation file that, among other things, maps SQLite versions to Android API levels. It should be updated every time SQLite is upgraded and on every Android API bump. There is a small problem with API names: Android usually prefers not to publicize the new API level until it is official, so care must be taken not to expose unofficial API levels through this file.
The current plan for modifying this file when SQLite is upgraded is to add a new row, using "latest" as the API level. The file should also be updated appropriately when a new API level is formally announced.
This file probably should be modified in an Android branch (not AOSP). That way it enters public view with the official release process.
The following tests are recommended before committing an update:
CtsScopedStorageDeviceOnlyTest
CtsScopedStorageBypassDatabaseOperationsTest
CtsScopedStorageGeneralTest
CtsScopedStorageRedactUriTest
CtsDatabaseTestCases
FrameworksCoreTests:android.database
At the time of writing, there are no test failures in the baseline code.
