sorry, but i didn`t get that, if i search like this http://api.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/?format=json&q=app&sort=n&max=25&offset=0&api_key=DEMO_KEY there will be an error message so what is constraints ? – userr12 Sep 04 '16 at 06:25

then check inside `runQuery` if the root element is "list" or "errors" – pskink Sep 04 '16 at 06:33

So it depends on the api and this api doesn`t allow searching with one letter ? – userr12 Sep 04 '16 at 06:53

Salam Enas, If the data do change frequently (like a movies list) then it's not ok to store it in the sqlite and it's better to be stored in the server database. If the data does not change frequently, then it's ok to store them on the sqlite database although the app size will increase by 2 Mb which is a drawback. You may also want to consider other APIs if you are not committed to use this one. When storing data on the server, HTTP requests burden can be alleviated by caching data on the mobile. good luck :)
