Android: Better to save Edit Text data in a SQLite database and then push to RecyclerView list?

I'm struggling with a design issue. I have a UI that asks users for data input like event dates and times. Once collected on the UI, should I save the data to a SQLite database and then push the data from the database to cards on a list using RecyclerView and CardView? Or should it be the other way around: save the data input to a RecyclerView list using cards and then push the data to the SQLite database? Please note: the cards in the RecyclerView will be editable, meaning the user entered date can be updated or deleted and then the database entry would have to be updated or deleted. Any thoughts here?
