两种思路实现sqlite字节数组的存放操作：

1. 将字节数组转为string类型存放，这种方式比较容易理解

Base64.encodeToString(rawData, Base64.DEFAULT) byte[]转为string
Base64.decode(printData.getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT) string转为byte[]

2. 指定字段的数据类型为blob

BLOB - The value is a blob of data, stored exactly as it was input.（BLOB数据不做任何转换，以输入形式存储。）

需要注意的是，移动端数据库的设计，比较好的实现方式是优先可读性

在实际的项目中遇到的是java对象的序列化和保存，第一反应就是先序列化成字节流，然后保存该字节流。调试过程中发现数据库完全不可读，很是耽误事。最后决定将对象转成json字符串，保存字符串就好多了。
