I would hope so, considering that android.database.sqlite has been part of the API since version 1. No need to reinvent the wheel. I believe most experienced Android devs know about and use Room or some other persistence API as opposed to raw SQL queries, but I could be wrong.

I just looked at what Dart / Flutter are doing and they have a “sqlflite” plugin that supports iOS, Android, and macOS.
