Day99 of #100DaysOfCode

Hii folks 🙌

Today I will be continuing the same pathway in which we will learn about the databases.

Android Room

Room is a persistence library, part of the Android Architecture Components. It makes it easier to work with SQLiteDatabase objects in your app, decreasing the amount of boilerplate code and verifying SQL queries at compile time.

• In the project-level build.gradle file, we will define the room_version in the ext block.

ext {
   kotlin_version = "1.3.72"
   nav_version = "2.3.1"
   room_version = '2.3.0'
}

• In the app-level build.gradle file, at the end of the dependencies list, we will add the following dependencies.

implementation "androidx.room:room-runtime:$room_version"
kapt "androidx.room:room-compiler:$room_version"
// optional - Kotlin Extensions and Coroutines support for Room
implementation "androidx.room:room-ktx:$room_version"

Then, we will Sync the changes and build the project to verify whether the dependencies were added correctly or not.

• Now we will create an Entity

@Entity
data class Schedule(
   @PrimaryKey val id: Int,
   @NonNull @ColumnInfo(name = "stop_name") val stopName: String,
   @NonNull @ColumnInfo(name = "arrival_time") val arrivalTime: Int
)

• Then we will define a DAO

@Dao
interface ScheduleDao {
}

• Define a function getAll() that returns a List of Schedule objects including the @Query annotation:

@Query("SELECT * FROM schedule ORDER BY arrival_time ASC")
fun getAll(): List<Schedule>

• We will define a getByStopName() function that takes a String parameter called stopName and returns a List of Schedule objects.

@Query("SELECT * FROM schedule WHERE stop_name = :stopName ORDER BY arrival_time ASC")
fun getByStopName(stopName: String): List<Schedule>

That is all for Day99 ✅

Thanks for reading, See you tomorrow!
