SupportSQLiteOpenHelper



An interface to map the behavior of android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper. Note that since that class requires overriding certain methods, support implementation uses Factory.create to create this and Callback to implement the methods that should be overridden.

Summary

Nested types

Creates a new Callback to get database lifecycle events.

The configuration to create an SQLite open helper object using Factory.

Builder class for Configuration.

Factory class to create instances of SupportSQLiteOpenHelper using Configuration.

Public functions

Unit

Close any open database object.

android
Unit

Enables or disables the use of write-ahead logging for the database.

android

Public properties

String?

Return the name of the SQLite database being opened, as given to the constructor.

android
SupportSQLiteDatabase

Create and/or open a database.

android
SupportSQLiteDatabase

Create and/or open a database that will be used for reading and writing.

android

Public functions

close

fun close(): Unit

Close any open database object.

setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled

fun setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled(enabled: Boolean): Unit

Enables or disables the use of write-ahead logging for the database.

See SupportSQLiteDatabase.enableWriteAheadLogging for details.

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.

Public properties

databaseName

val databaseNameString?

Return the name of the SQLite database being opened, as given to the constructor. null indicates an in-memory database.

readableDatabase

val readableDatabaseSupportSQLiteDatabase

Create and/or open a database. This will be the same object returned by writableDatabase 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 writableDatabase 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 writableDatabase, 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 writableDatabase or close is called.

Throws
android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException

if the database cannot be opened

writableDatabase

val writableDatabaseSupportSQLiteDatabase

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 Callback.onCreate, Callback.onUpgrade and/or Callback.onOpen 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
android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException

if the database cannot be opened for writing
