Inherited methods

Public methods

addObserver

added in version 1.1.0
void addObserver (InvalidationTracker.Observer observer)

Adds the given observer to the observers list and it will be notified if any table it observes changes.

Database changes are pulled on another thread so in some race conditions, the observer might be invoked for changes that were done before it is added.

If the observer already exists, this is a no-op call.

If one of the tables in the Observer does not exist in the database, this method throws an IllegalArgumentException.

Parameters
observer InvalidationTracker.Observer: The observer which listens the database for changes.

refreshVersionsAsync

added in version 1.1.0
void refreshVersionsAsync ()

Enqueues a task to refresh the list of updated tables.

This method is automatically called when endTransaction() is called but if you have another connection to the database or directly use SupportSQLiteDatabase, you may need to call this manually.

removeObserver

added in version 1.1.0
void removeObserver (InvalidationTracker.Observer observer)

Removes the observer from the observers list.

Parameters
observer InvalidationTracker.Observer: The observer to remove.
