SupportSQLiteOpenHelper
public
interface
SupportSQLiteOpenHelper
android.arch.persistence.db.SupportSQLiteOpenHelper |
An interface to map the behavior of SQLiteOpenHelper
.
Note that since that class requires overriding certain methods, support implementation
uses create(Configuration)
to create this and SupportSQLiteOpenHelper.Callback
to implement
the methods that should be overridden.
Summary
Nested classes | |
---|---|
class |
SupportSQLiteOpenHelper.Callback
Handles various lifecycle events for the SQLite connection, similar to
|
class |
SupportSQLiteOpenHelper.Configuration
The configuration to create an SQLite open helper object using |
interface |
SupportSQLiteOpenHelper.Factory
Factory class to create instances of |
Public methods | |

close()
Close any open database object. |
abstract
String
|
getDatabaseName()
Return the name of the SQLite database being opened, as given to the constructor. |
abstract
SupportSQLiteDatabase
|
getReadableDatabase()
Create and/or open a database. |

getWritableDatabase()
Create and/or open a database that will be used for reading and writing. |

Public methods
getDatabaseName
String getDatabaseName ()
Return the name of the SQLite database being opened, as given to the constructor.
Returns | |
---|---|
String |
getReadableDatabase
SupportSQLiteDatabase getReadableDatabase ()
Create and/or open a database. This will be the same object returned by
getWritableDatabase()
unless some problem, such as a full disk,
requires the database to be opened read-only. In that case, a read-only
database object will be returned. If the problem is fixed, a future call
to getWritableDatabase()
may succeed, in which case the read-only
database object will be closed and the read/write object will be returned
in the future.
Like getWritableDatabase()
, this method may
take a long time to return, so you should not call it from the
application main thread, including from
ContentProvider.onCreate()
.
Returns | |
---|---|
SupportSQLiteDatabase |
a database object valid until getWritableDatabase()
or close() is called. |
Throws | |
---|---|
SQLiteException |
if the database cannot be opened |
getWritableDatabase
SupportSQLiteDatabase getWritableDatabase ()
Create and/or open a database that will be used for reading and writing.
The first time this is called, the database will be opened and
onCreate(SupportSQLiteDatabase)
, onUpgrade(SupportSQLiteDatabase, int, int)
and/or onOpen(SupportSQLiteDatabase)
will be
called.
Once opened successfully, the database is cached, so you can
call this method every time you need to write to the database.
(Make sure to call close()
when you no longer need the database.)
Errors such as bad permissions or a full disk may cause this method
to fail, but future attempts may succeed if the problem is fixed.
Database upgrade may take a long time, you
should not call this method from the application main thread, including
from ContentProvider.onCreate()
.
Returns | |
---|---|
SupportSQLiteDatabase |
a read/write database object valid until close() is called |
Throws | |
---|---|
SQLiteException |
if the database cannot be opened for writing |
setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled
void setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled (boolean enabled)
Enables or disables the use of write-ahead logging for the database. Write-ahead logging cannot be used with read-only databases so the value of this flag is ignored if the database is opened read-only.
Parameters | |
---|---|
enabled |
boolean : True if write-ahead logging should be enabled, false if it
should be disabled. |
