JarCastingFetch
A library to eliminate boilerplate when querying ContentResolver and SQLiteDatabase.
Download
Download the latest version or grab via Gradle:
dependencies {
compile 'com.evernote:android-fetch:1.0.0'
}
Usage
In its simplest form, the library enables this:
Cursor cursor;
List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
try {
cursor = contentResolver.query(sourceUri, null, null, null, null);
while (cursor != null && cursor.moveToNext()) {
result.add(cursor.getString(0));
}
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
To become this:
List<String> result = QueryBuilder.cr(sourceUri).fetch(contentResolver).toList(Converter.STRING);
Every parameter of query can be specified by calling additional optional methods, and you can use a custom Converter to build your own objects:
List<Thing> things = QueryBuilder.db("my_table")
.projection("id", "name", "description")
.selection("size = ?")
.selectionArgs("42")
.sortOrder("name")
.fetch(database)
.toList(new Converter<Thing>() {
@Override
public Thing convert(Cursor c) {
int id = c.getInt(0);
String name = c.getString(1);
String description = c.getString(2);
return new Thing(id, name, description);
}
});
There are also convenience methods for filters on list of values:
QueryBuilder.cr(sourceUri).select("name", nameList);
Is equivalent to:
contentResolver.query(sourceUri, null, "name in (?,?,?)", nameList.toArray(new String[nameList.size()]), null);
You can also use the RxJava binding to create an Observable from your query.
QueryBuilder.cr(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI)
.projection(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA)
.selection(selection)
.fetchStream(mContext, Converter.STRING)
.map(...)
.filter(...)
.observeOn(...);
