Downloading a file from the web is very simple, you can either use
HttpClient (plenty of documentation available) or, more simply, new
URL("http://...";).openStream().As for storing it in a SQLite3 database, you may be surprised to find that you cannot with Android. Instead, the approach is to store it to a file and reference that file in a column in your database table. The preferred and most conventional way to do this is to use a ContentProvider and store a valid content URI in your database column. Then, you would implement the openFile method to translate the content URI you stored to a file on the device. This is a useful approach because this allows you to say, store an image in column photo, and display it in an ImageView using simply setImageURI(Uri.parse(cursor.getString(PHOTO_COLUMN))). If you need more help, there's actually quite a bit of discussion about this in other posts...
