ActiveAndroid算是一个轻量级的ORM框架,简单地通过如save()和delete()等方法来做到增删改查等操作。配置起来也还算简单。
下面是作者的原话:
ActiveAndroid is an active record style ORM (object relational mapper). What does that mean exactly? Well, ActiveAndroid allows you to save and retrieve SQLite database records without ever writing a single SQL statement. Each database record is wrapped neatly into a class with methods like save() and delete().
ActiveAndroid does so much more than this though. Accessing the database is a hassle, to say the least, in Android. ActiveAndroid takes care of all the setup and messy stuff, and all with just a few simple steps of configuration.
在AndroidManifest.xml中我们需要添加这两个
AA_DB_NAME
(这个name不能改,但是是可选的,如果不写的话 是默认的"Application.db"这个值)
AA_DB_VERSION
(optional – defaults to 1)
...
<meta-data android:name="AA_DB_NAME" android:value="your.db" />
<meta-data android:name="AA_DB_VERSION" android:value="5" />
这个<application>
是必须指定的,但你也可以使用自己的Application,继承自com.activeandroid.app.Application
public class MyApplication extends com.activeandroid.app.Application { ...
如果你不想或者不能继承com.activeandroid.app.Application
的话,那么就这样
public class MyApplication extends SomeLibraryApplication {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
ActiveAndroid.initialize(this);
}
@Override
public void onTerminate() {
super.onTerminate();
ActiveAndroid.dispose();
}
}
ActiveAndroid.initialize(this);
做初始化工作,ActiveAndroid.dispose();
做清理工作
我们使用@Table(name = "Items")
来表示表,使用@Column(name = "Name")
来表示列,ActiveAndroid会使用自增长的ID作为主键,然后按照注解描述,将类对应映射为数据库表。
@Table(name = "Items")
public class Item extends Model {
@Column(name = "Name")
public String name;
@Column(name = "Category")
public Category category;
public Item(){
super();
}
public Item(String name, Category category){
super();
this.name = name;
this.category = category;
}
}
假如Item和Category是多对一的关系,那么我们可以这样子创建他们的类
@Table(name = "Items")
public class Item extends Model {
@Column(name = "Name")
public String name;
@Column(name = "Category")
public Category category;
}
<!-- lang: java -->
@Table(name = "Categories")
public class Category extends Model {
@Column(name = "Name")
public String name;
public List<Item> items() {
return getMany(Item.class, "Category");
}
}
保存Category对象
Category restaurants = new Category();
restaurants.name = "Restaurants";
restaurants.save();
分配了一个category并且保存到数据库
Item item = new Item();
item.category = restaurants;
item.name = "Outback Steakhouse";
item.save();
如果你要批量插入数据,最好使用事务(transaction)。
ActiveAndroid.beginTransaction();
try {
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
Item item = new Item();
item.name = "Example " + i;
item.save();
}
ActiveAndroid.setTransactionSuccessful();
}
finally {
ActiveAndroid.endTransaction();
}
使用事务的话只用了 40ms,不然的话需要4秒。
我们有三种方式删除一条记录
Item item = Item.load(Item.class, 1);
item.delete();
<!-- lang: java -->
Item.delete(Item.class, 1);
<!-- lang: java -->
new Delete().from(Item.class).where("Id = ?", 1).execute();
很简单吧
作者将查询做的非常像SQLite的原生查询语句,几乎涵盖了所有的指令
com.activeandroid.query包下有以下类
我们举例说明吧
public static Item getRandom(Category category) {
return new Select()
.from(Item.class)
.where("Category = ?", category.getId())
.orderBy("RANDOM()")
.executeSingle();
}
对应的sqlite查询语句就是 select * from Item where Category = ? order by RANDOM()
当然还支持其他非常多的指令
大家可以在ActiveAndroid项目下的tests工程找到测试用例,有非常多详细的描述。
