greenDAO is a lightweight, high-performance ORM for Android that maps Java objects to SQLite databases with a simple annotation-based API. The project is no longer actively maintained, with greenrobot recommending its successor ObjectBox for new apps.

Use cases

  • persist Java objects to SQLite on Android without writing SQL
  • run fast queries with joins across entities via QueryBuilder
  • encrypt the local app database with SQLCipher
  • map custom classes or enums to database columns
  • migrate an existing greenDAO app to ObjectBox via DaoCompat

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy Android app already built on greenDAO
  • you need a tiny (<150KB), pure-Java ORM for Android SQLite
  • you want SQLCipher-encrypted local storage with an ORM API

When to avoid

  • starting a new Android project - use ObjectBox, Room, or SQLDelight instead
  • you need ongoing updates, bug fixes, or modern Android/Kotlin support
  • you need a database beyond SQLite on non-Android platforms
