SQLKing

SQLKing is an Android SQLite ORM powered by an annotation preprocessor, tables are defined by @Table annotations and CRUD classes expose an expressive api for executing SQLite queries.

Gradle dependencies

NOTE: See https://bitbucket.org/hvisser/android-apt if you are not familiar with using annotation preprocessors on Android.

dependencies {
    annotationProcessor 'com.memtrip.sqlking:preprocessor:1.2'
    compile 'com.memtrip.sqlking:client:1.2'
}

Define your models

SQL tables are defined by POJOs that are annotated with @Table. Table columns are annotated with @Column and must have matching getter / setter methods i.e; private String name; must be accompanied by both a String getName() and a setName(String newVal) method.

@Table
public class User {
    @Column private String username;
    @Column private long timestamp;
    @Column private boolean isRegistered;
    @Column private byte[] profilePicture;

    public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    }

    public void setUsername(String newVal) {
        username = newVal;
    }

    public long getTimestamp() {
        return timestamp;
    }

    public void setTimestamp(long newVal) {
        timestamp = newVal;
    }

    public boolean getIsRegistered() {
        return isRegistered;
    }

    public void setIsRegistered(boolean newVal) {
        isRegistered = newVal;
    }

    public byte[] getProfilePicture() {
        return profilePicture;
    }

    public void setProfilePicture(byte[] newVal) {
        profilePicture = newVal;
    }
}

Q

The Q class is generated by the annotation preprocessor, it contains a DefaultResolver() method which is required by SQLInit to create the database. Q also contains a series of static variables that can be used to reference @Table columns. As a good practise these variables should be used whenever you reference a table column.

// an example of columns that are auto generated within a Q class
public static final String USERNAME = "username";
public static final String TIMESTAMP = "timestamp";
public static final String IS_REGISTERED = "isRegistered";
public static final String PROFILE_PICTURE = "profilePicture";

// the columns can be accessed directly from the Q class, e.g;
String usernameColumnFromUserTable = Q.User.USERNAME;

Initialise the database

SQLKing will create a database based on the POJOs that are annotated with @Table, when these POJOs are changed or new POJOs are added, the version number argument must be incremented. The SQLProvider instance that is returned from SQLInit must be kept throughout the lifecycle of your application, it is required by the execute() and rx() methods. We recommend you attach inject it as a dependency or attach it to your Application context. NOTE: Incrementing the version number will drop and recreate the database.

public void setUp() {
    SQLProvider provider = SQLInit.createDatabase(
         "SQLKing",
         1,
         new Q.DefaultResolver(),
         getContext(),
         User.class,
         Post.class
    );
}

Querying the database

The Insert, Select, Update, Delete and Count classes are used to query database tables, they use a getBuilder() method to add clause and operation arguments. The Builder finishes by using either the execute() method or the rx() method.

The rx() method returns an RxJava Observable.

Select.getBuilder()
    .rx(User.class, sqlProvider)
    .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
    .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
    .subscribe(new SingleObserver<List<User>>() {
       @Override
       public void onSubscribe(Disposable d) {

       }

       @Override
       public void onSuccess(List<User> users) {
           // do something with results
       }

       @Override
       public void onError(Throwable e) {

       }
   });

The execute() method returns results directly. NOTE: execute() will block the ui thread, we recommend you use RxJava.

User user = new User();
user.setUsername("12345678");
user.setIsRegistered(true);
user.setTimestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());

// INSERT INTO User (username, isRegistered, timestamp) VALUES ('12345678',true,632348968244);
Insert.getBuilder().values(user).execute(User.class, sqlProvider);
// SELECT * FROM User;
List<User> users = Select.getBuilder().execute(User.class, sqlProvider);
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put(Q.User.IS_REGISTERED, true);
contentValues.put(Q.User.TIMESTAMP, System.currentTimeMillis());

// UPDATE User SET isRegistered = 'true', timestamp = '123456789'
int rowsUpdated = Update.getBuilder()
        .values(contentValues)
        .execute(User.class, getSQLProvider());
// DELETE FROM User;
int rowsDeleted = Delete.getBuilder().execute(User.class, sqlProvider);
// SELECT Count(*) FROM User;
int count = Count.getBuilder().execute(User.class, sqlProvider);

Clauses

The Where, And, In, and Or classes are used to build up the query. Where is powered by the Expression enum:

public enum Exp {
	EQUAL_TO ("="),
	MORE_THAN (">"),
	MORE_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO (">="),
	LESS_THAN ("<"),
	LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO ("<="),
	LIKE ("LIKE");
}

The following illustrate how to build more complex queries:

// SELECT * FROM User WHERE isRegistered = 'true';
User[] users = Select.getBuilder()
        .where(new Where(Q.User.IS_REGISTERED, Where.Exp.EQUAL_TO, true))
        .execute(User.class, sqlProvider);
// SELECT * FROM User WHERE username LIKE 'jo%'
User[] users = Select.getBuilder()
        .where(new Where(Q.User.USERNAME, Where.Exp.LIKE, "jo%"))
        .execute(User.class, sqlProvider);
// SELECT * FROM User WHERE username IN ("sam","josh");
User[] users = Select.getBuilder()
        .where(new In(Q.User.USERNAME, "sam", "josh"))
        .execute(User.class, sqlProvider);
// SELECT * FROM User WHERE ((username = "sam" OR username = "angie") AND (timestamp >= 1234567890));
List<User> users = Select.getBuilder()
		.where(new And(
                new Or(
                        new Where(Q.User.USERNAME, Where.Exp.EQUAL_TO, "sam"),
                        new Where(Q.User.USERNAME, Where.Exp.EQUAL_TO, "angie")
                ),
                new And(
                        new Where(Q.User.TIMESTAMP, Where.Exp.MORE_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO, 1234567890)
                )))
        .execute(User.class, sqlProvider);

Keywords

The OrderBy and Limit classes are used to manipulate the results of the Select class

// SELECT * FROM user ORDER BY username DESC
List<User> users = Select.getBuilder()
        .orderBy(Q.User.USERNAME, OrderBy.Order.DESC)
        .execute(User.class, sqlProvider);
// SELECT * FROM user ORDER BY username DESC LIMIT 2,4
List<User> users = Select.getBuilder()
        .limit(2,4)
        .orderBy(Q.User.USERNAME, OrderBy.Order.DESC)
        .execute(User.class, sqlProvider);

Joins

Joins can be performed using the InnerJoin, LeftOutJoin, CrossInnerJoin, NaturalInnerJoin, NaturalLeftOuterJoin classes. The target table for the join must be defined as an @Column, the object will be populated with any join results.

@Table
public class Comment {
    @Column(index = true) int id;
    @Column int userId;
    @Column User user; // The target table for a potential join

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    
    public int getUserId() {
        return userId;
    }

    public void setUserId(int userId) {
        this.userId = userId;
    }

    public User getUser() {
        return user;
    }

    public void setUser(User user) {
        this.user = user;
    }
}

@Table
public class User {
    @Column(index = true) int id;
    
    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

List<Comment> comments = Select.getBuilder()
		.join(innerJoin(User.class, on("Comment.userId","User.id")))
        .execute(Comment.class, App.getInstance().getSQLProvider());
        
User user = comments[0].getUser(); // The nested User object is populated by the join

Primary Key

An auto incrementing primary key can be defined using:

@Table
public class Data {
    @Column(primary_key = true, auto_increment = true) int id;

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

Tests

The tests/java/com/memtrip/sqlking package contains a full set of unit and integration tests. The tests can be used as a good reference on how to structure queries.

TODO

  • Validate that object relationships defined by @Column are annotated with @Table
  • Validate that auto_increment columns must be int or long
  • @Table annotation should support foreign_key functionality
  • @NotNull annotation and handle this validation in the software layer
  • Composite Foreign Key Constraints
