Is there a framework/library to easily manage databases on Android aside from SQLiteOpenHelper?

I have only used SQLiteOpenHelper and it's not that easy to use.

I wonder if there's an ORM similar to Django or Rails.

If your looking for a really simple to implement library have a look at this.

http://www.rushorm.com/

Written with ease of use as the first priority. Handles many to many relationships and saving children which most others don't seem to.

Not sure if this helps but ORMLite supports Android native database calls and provides sub classes of SQLiteOpenHelper to provide mature ORM features. I am the main author. There is a good set of Android developers which are using it successfully for their applications.

I'm not sure how it compares with Django ar Rails. It is designed to be a lightweight replacement for Hibernate or iBatis while still providing good ORM functionality. We have some example Android applications to see how it works.

If you like Django, have a look at http://www.androrm.com. The query syntax is very similar to that of Django including the table_table_table query mechanism.
