2. Make an Listview and make an Adapter for it.
   
3. In the MainActivity, Define an EditText by findViewById() and make a method to store words in the Database like this:
   

String name = EditText_Name.getText().toString().trim();
 ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
 values.put(WordContract.WordEntry.COLUMN_WORD_NAME,name);
 Uri newUri = getContentResolver().insert(WordContract.WordEntry.CONTENT_URI, values);
