EasyDatabase

This library design to create database using ContentProvider and keeping in mind reduce complexity in database table creation and easy to maintain code.

Features

• To create Database using ContentProvider so that we can share our database to other app if needed.
• Uses ContentProvider in Object Oriented way such that each table have seprate ContentProvider so easy to maintain.
• Developer have to write down very less code to create table so save development time.
• Very simple way to create table creation query String.
• Work with Cursor LoaderManager so no need to close cursor explicitly.
• Use standard android ContentResolver to execute query.

Compatibility

• Library : API 1
• LibrarySample : API 1

How to use library

1:Create Your Content Provider which will be responsible for table creation. 2:Override all method which is needed as per your requirement. example:

public class BookContentProvider extends EasyDatabaseContentProvider {

	public static String BOOK_TABLE_CREATION_STRING;
	public static Uri BOOK_TABLE_URI;
	public final static String BOOK_TABLE_NAME = "BookTable";
	private final int BOOK_TABLE_IDENTIFIER = 101;
	// Define column name key
	public static final String KEY_BOOK_NAME = "Name";
	public static final String KEY_AUTHOR_NAME = "Author";
	public static final String KEY_PRICE = "Price";

	@Override
	protected void initialize() {
		// This variable get use in table creation in SQL Helper class because
		// of that it is static
		BOOK_TABLE_CREATION_STRING = getQueryTableString();
		// This variable get use in query fire from any where in app because
		// of that it is static
		BOOK_TABLE_URI = getContentURI();

	}

	@Override
	public SQLiteOpenHelper getSqlHelper() {
		SQLiteOpenHelper sqlHelper = DemoSqlHelper
				.getSQLHelperInstance(getContext());
		return sqlHelper;
	}

	@Override
	protected void fillTableParamMap(HashMap<String, String> tableParamMap) {
		tableParamMap.put(KEY_ID, "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY autoincrement");
		tableParamMap.put(KEY_BOOK_NAME, "varchar(50) not null");
		tableParamMap.put(KEY_AUTHOR_NAME, "varchar(50)");
		tableParamMap.put(KEY_PRICE, "int");

	}

	@Override
	protected String getTableName() {
		return BOOK_TABLE_NAME;
	}

	@Override
	protected int getTableIdentifier() {
		return BOOK_TABLE_IDENTIFIER;
	}

	@Override
	protected String getAuthority() {
		return getContext().getResources().getString(
				R.string.book_authority_name);
	}

}

3:Create Sql Helper class and that should be singleton to improve performance and to avoid multiple data instance creation. example:

 public class DemoSqlHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

	public static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
	public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "DemoDatabase";
	private static DemoSqlHelper sqlHelperInstance;

	public static DemoSqlHelper getSQLHelperInstance(Context context) {
		if (sqlHelperInstance == null) {
			sqlHelperInstance = new DemoSqlHelper(context);
		}
		return sqlHelperInstance;
	}

	/**
	 * @param context
	 *            This class should be singleton ,to avoid database lock issue.
	 */
	private DemoSqlHelper(Context context) {
		super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
	}

	@Override
	public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
		db.execSQL(BookContentProvider.BOOK_TABLE_CREATION_STRING);
	}

	@Override
	public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
		// TO BE IMPLEMENTED IF DB VERSION INCREMENTED FROM 1;
	}

}

4:define Content provider inside AndroidMainfest file. example:

<provider
           android:name="com.ajra.demo.database.BookContentProvider"
            android:authorities="@string/book_authority_name"
            android:exported="false" />

If we would like to share data of table android:exported="true"

5:We are done with table creation.

6:Now use it. example:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(BookContentProvider.KEY_BOOK_NAME, bookName);
Uri uri=getContentResolver().insert(BookContentProvider.BOOK_TABLE_URI,
					values);

Progaurd

No need to add any extra config.

Debugging

In EasyDatabaseContentProvider class their is method called setDebaugModeOn(boolean isDebaugModeOn) override this method. To grep log use "EasyDatabaseContentProvider" as grep string.
