Android Get List Of Tables

Does anyone know the SQL to get a list of table names via code in Android? I know .tables does it through command shell but this doesn't work through code. Is it anything to do wit

Solution 1:

Just had to do the same. This seems to work:

publicArrayList<Object> listTables()
    {
        ArrayList<Object> tableList = newArrayList<Object>();
        StringSQL_GET_ALL_TABLES = "SELECT name FROM " + 
        "sqlite_master WHERE type='table' ORDER BY name"; 
        Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(SQL_GET_ALL_TABLES, null);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        if (!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
            do {
                tableList.add(cursor.getString(0));
            }
            while (cursor.moveToNext());
        }
        cursor.close();
        return tableList;
    }

Solution 2:

Got it:

SELECT*FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'
