Welcome to the SQLiteProvider wiki!

SQLiteProvider Usage

• Below is a QuickStart guide
• See README document for further useage
• Google Play - SQLiteProvider Demo App

This project is made of three modules:

• 'core' - holding the actual library code for you to use

• 'acceptance' - this is an Android acceptance test project with tests related to the core

• 'demo' - an Android project showing a demonstration of the various uses of the core library

Quick Start:

Database creation

1 ) Create an SQL file and place it in YourAndroidApp/assets/migrations

2 ) Pre-pend this SQL file with a version number (this will be your database version number)

1_My_Setup_File.sql

CREATE TABLE 'shop' (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT, postcode TEXT);
INSERT INTO 'shop' (name, postcode) VALUES ("TheBigBang Shop", "L300RA");

3 ) to update the database create a new file and increment your version number

2_My_Database_Changes.sql

UPDATE shop SET postcode="N17BJ" WHERE name='TheBigBang Shop';

Alternatively if you don't create an SQL file you can create your database programatically with the normal Android librarys ( n.b. this is what the SQLiteProvider library is doing for you automagically.

Querying

1 ) Create a content provider that extends novoda.lib.sqliteprovider.provider.SQLiteContentProviderImpl

2 ) Add an authority to that provider

import novoda.lib.sqliteprovider.provider.SQLiteContentProviderImpl;

public class FireworkProvider extends SQLiteContentProviderImpl {

    public static final String AUTHORITY = "content://com.novoda.demo/";

}

3 ) Register your provider with the Android System in your AndroidManifest

<provider
    android:name="com.novoda.sqliteprovider.demo.provider.FireworkProvider"
    android:authorities="com.novoda.demo"
    android:exported="false" />

4. Use the content provider with a URI to query your database

Context.getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://com.novoda.demo/fireworks/1"));

The above would return you a Cursor pointing to the row in the fireworks table with the primary key of 1

If you get stuck refer to the demo project or the acceptance tests.

There are also core unit tests you may find useful
