I'm a java web developer and I use Spring, JPA, Hibernate at my job. I'm currently having fun on android development at home and I made a app with sqllite database. I used SQLiteOpenHelper, contentvalues, cursors,... http://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/databases.html to design and query my database. All works well but I find it very verbose with tons of codes in contrast of using an ORM. I know pros/cons of an ORM in web development, not in mobile/android development.

Is it useful to use it or does it slow the phone app ? Some years (at the beginning of android), I think ORM was to heavy to be used on android but since 2015, maybe it has changed?! If yes, what are the best today ?
