- 8. Solutions 3d-party ORM libraries over SQLite like: • DBFlow • Requery • GreenDAO • And so on, many of them!

- 12. Room structure
- 13. Entity
- 14. Entity Note: need getters & setters, not support for Lombok, AutoValue
- 15. Another Entity
- 16. Relation Object references - not supported From doc - Key takeaway: Room disallows object references between entity classes. Instead, you must explicitly request the data that your app needs.

- 18. Embedding
- 19. Data types Date - unknown type, requires converting
- 20. Data types Should be added to database object
- 21. Database object
- 22. Database object
- 23. DAO • QUERY • INSERT • UPDATE • DELETE
- 24. DAO - Need to write SQL queries, not typical for ORMs - Retrofit style
- 25. DAO
- 26. DAO - code generation
- 27. DAO - code generation
- 28. DAO - Threading • QUERY • INSERT • UPDATE • DELETE All Synchronous
- 29. DAO - Threading • QUERY • INSERT • UPDATE • DELETE All Synchronous Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot access database on the main thread since it may potentially lock the UI for a long periods of time.
- 30. DAO - Threading Quick, but not good fix
- 31. DAO - LiveData
- 32. DAO - RxJava

- 36. DAO - Query, Joins @Dao public interface MyDao { @Query("SELECT * FROM book " + "INNER JOIN loan ON loan.book_id = book.id " + "INNER JOIN user ON user.id = loan.user_id " + "WHERE user.name LIKE :userName") public List<Book> findBooksBorrowedByNameSync(String userName); } From official documentation:

- 53. Migrations Provide migration Add it to db object
- 57. Migrations Testing Setup • Turn on schema export (as json file) • In build.gradle: Set schema location to tests • Export schema for annotation processor
- 58. Migrations Testing @RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class) public class MigrationTest { private static final String TEST_DB_NAME = “test_employee_db”; @Rule public MigrationTestHelper helper; public MigrationTest() { helper = new MigrationTestHelper(InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation(), EmployeesDatabase.class.getCanonicalName(), new FrameworkSQLiteOpenHelperFactory()); }
- 59. Migrations Testing @Test public void migrate1To2() throws IOException { SupportSQLiteDatabase db = helper.createDatabase(TEST_DB_NAME, 1); insertEmployee(db); // need to insert with ContentValues SQLIte API helper.runMigrationsAndValidate(TEST_DB_NAME, 2, true, MIGRATION_1_2); And then build db object, get Data from DAO and write asserts
- 60. Summary • Removes ugly boilerplate low level APIs code • Google support • Nice testing and RxJava2 support • Use it if you need it
