Which is better way to communicate with database in Android and Why?

As of now , I know 2 methods to interact with database ,

using openOrCreateDatabase() or extending SQLiteOpenH开发者_如何学Pythonelper class !

Which is better to use and why ?

I can remember using SQLiteOpenHelper class in Google's beginner tutorial Notepad
So this seems to be the "recommended" way to the database..
Some opinions: Link, Link
Also take a look at the api to compare eachother:
SQLiteOpenHelper, openOrCreateDatabase

I've used openOrCreateDatabase() method because it seems simple and easy to me.
