Public constructors

RoomDatabase

void beginTransaction ()

Wrapper for beginTransaction().

clearAllTables

added in version 1.1.0
void clearAllTables ()

Deletes all rows from all the tables that are registered to this database as entities().

This does NOT reset the auto-increment value generated by autoGenerate().

void close ()

Closes the database if it is already open.

compileStatement

added in version 1.1.0
SupportSQLiteStatement compileStatement (String sql)

Wrapper for compileStatement(String).

Parameters
sql String: The query to compile.
Returns
SupportSQLiteStatement The compiled query.

endTransaction

added in version 1.1.0
void endTransaction ()

Wrapper for endTransaction().

getInvalidationTracker

added in version 1.1.0
InvalidationTracker getInvalidationTracker ()

Returns the invalidation tracker for this database.

You can use the invalidation tracker to get notified when certain tables in the database are modified.

Returns
InvalidationTracker The invalidation tracker for the database.

getOpenHelper

added in version 1.1.0
SupportSQLiteOpenHelper getOpenHelper ()

Returns the SQLite open helper used by this database.

Returns
SupportSQLiteOpenHelper The SQLite open helper used by this database.
