Storing currency in SQlite android database

Store the BigDecimal as a String.

You can use the toPlainString() method.

BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal();
String s = b.toPlainString();

Then when you pull it from the database you can create a new BigDecimal.

BigDecimal c = new BigDecimal(String s)

Believe it or not SQLite 3.0 stores all data types as strings even if you say it should be an Integer. Take a look at this web page from the official SQLite website and scroll down to the "Manifest Typing and BLOB Support" section. It talks about how it will let you store strings in columns of other types.
