when i try update model to room database. i expect it just update one time, but it update infinite number of times.
DAO
#Dao
interface UserDAO {
#Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
suspend fun insertUserDAO(userModel : UserModel)
#Update
suspend fun updateUserDAO(userModel : UserModel)
#Query("select * from user_table where _id =:id")
fun readUserById(id : String) : LiveData<UserModel>
Repository
class UserRepository(private val userAPI: UserAPI, context : Context) {
private val userDAO : UserDAO
init {
val userDatabase: UserRoomDatabase = UserRoomDatabase.getInstance(context)
userDAO = userDatabase.getUserDao()
}
fun readUserByIdDAO(id : String): LiveData<UserModel> = userDAO.readUserById(id)
suspend fun insertUserDAO(userModel : UserModel) = userDAO.insertUserDAO(userModel)
suspend fun updateUserDAO(userModel : UserModel) = userDAO.updateUserDAO(userModel)
}
ViewModel
class UserViewModel(private val userRepository: UserRepository) : ViewModel() {
val userModelResponse: MutableLiveData<Resource<UserModel>> = MutableLiveData()
val listUserModelResponse: MutableLiveData<Resource<ArrayList<UserModel>>> = MutableLiveData()
fun readUserByIdDAO(id : String) : LiveData<UserModel> = userRepository.readUserByIdDAO(id)
fun insertUserDAO(userModel: UserModel) = viewModelScope.launch {
userRepository.insertUserDAO(userModel)
}
fun updateUserDAO(userModel: UserModel) = viewModelScope.launch {
userRepository.updateUserDAO(userModel)
}
}
then i use it in MainActivity
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var viewModel: UserViewModel
private lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding
private lateinit var auth : FirebaseAuth
private var userId = ""
override fun onStart() {
super.onStart()
val navController = findNavController(R.id.fragmentHome)
binding.bottomNavigationHome.setupWithNavController(navController)
val userAPI = UserAPI.getInstance()
val userRepository = UserRepository(userAPI,this)
viewModel =
ViewModelProvider(this, UserModelFactory(userRepository)).get(UserViewModel::class.java)
auth = Firebase.auth
userId = auth.currentUser!!.uid
viewModel.readUserByIdDAO(userId).observe(this,{ userFromDAO ->
userFromDAO.active = true
viewModel.updateUserDAO(userFromDAO)
Log.e(TAG,userFromDAO.toString())
})
}
override fun onStop() {
super.onStop()
Log.e(TAG,"Stop")
viewModel.readUserByIdDAO(userId).observe(this,{ userFromDAO ->
userFromDAO.active = false
viewModel.updateUserDAO(userFromDAO)
viewModel.updateUserAPI(userFromDAO)
})
}
what is my problem and how can i fix it?
Every day offers us many surprises; today I wish you all to have a spectacular day. I wish you all the best
The real question is, what do you want to do? If you update the database only at onstart and onstop why do you need livedata? You said in your comment you want to check user online or offline. Why did you write it to the database? Tell us what you want to achieve and we can find another solution..
BTW, this is my answer if you want to check user is online or not:
If you want to check user online or offline why don't you just check
is device online or offline? You can see how to do that here:
How to check if an android device is online
The above link tells you how to make a function to check your
connectivity status. If you want to do something automatically every
time the network state changes, you need to run that function to check
your connectivity every time while your app running. That is not
effective. You can use work manager if you want to automatically
detect network changes:
How to trigger work manager when wifi is connected in android?
So if you know when you want to check the network status, use the
first method. If you want to monitor network status and automatically
do something when status changes, use the second method.
Use an if statement so you won’t repeatedly write the same item back
if (!userFromDAO.active) {
userFromDAO.active = true
viewModel.updateUserDAO(userFromDAO)
}
Log.e(TAG,userFromDAO.toString())

I've been reading some questions, answers and blogs about MVVM pattern in Android, and I've implemented it in my application.
My application consists of a MainActivity with 3 Tabs. Content of each tab is a fragment.
One of these fragments, is a List of Users stored on Room DB, which is where I've implemented the MVVM (implementing User object, ViewModel, Repository and Adapter with RecycleView).
In this same fragment, I have an "add User" button at the end that leads to a new activity where a formulary is presented to add a new user. In this activity I want to be sure that the full name of user not exists in my DB before saving it.
I was trying to use the same ViewModel to get full UserNames full name, but it seems that ViewModel is never initialized and I dont' know why.
I've read some questions about that viewmodel can't be used in different activities (I use it in MainActivity also in AddUser activity
This is my ViewModel:
class UserViewModel : ViewModel() {
val allUsersLiveData: LiveData<List<User>>
private val repository: UserRepository
init {
Timber.i("Initializing UserViewModel")
repository = UserRepository(UserTrackerApplication.database!!.databaseDao())
allUsersLiveData = repository.getAllUsers()
}
fun getAllUsersFullName(): List<String> {
return allUsersLiveData.value!!.map { it.fullname}
}
And my AddUser activity:
class AddUser : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var userList:List<String>
private lateinit var binding: ActivityAddUserBinding
private val userViewModel: UserViewModel by viewModels()
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_user)
Timber.i("Add User OnCreate")
binding = ActivityAddUserBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
setContentView(binding.root)
}
fun addUserClick(v : View){
//someCode
val userName = binding.constraintLayoutAddUser.etUserName!!.text.toString()
if(checkUserExistance(userName)) {
val text: String = String.format(
resources.getString(R.string.repeated_user_name),
userName
Snackbar.make(v, text, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show()
{
else
{
lifecycleScope.launch {
UserTrackerApplication.database!!.databaseDao()
.insertUser(user)
Timber.i("User added!")
}
finish()
}
}
Debugging, I see the log "Initializing UserViewModel" when the fragment of MainActivity is started, but I can't see it when AddUser activity is called. So it seems it's not initializing correctly.
So the questions:
Is this a good approach? I'm making some design mistake?
Why the VM isn't initializing?
EDIT
I forgot to add this function. Calling userViewModel here is where I get the error:
private fun checkUserExistance(userName: String): Boolean {
var result = false
userList = userViewModel.getAllUsersNames()
for (usr in userList)
{
if(usr.uppercase() == userName.uppercase())
{
result = true
break
}
}
return result
}
EDIT 2
I added this on my "onCreate" function and started to work:
userViewModel.allUsersLiveData.observe(this, Observer<List<User>>{
it?.let {
// updates the list.
Timber.i("Updating User Names")
userList =userViewModel.getAllUsersNames()
}
})
if you take a look at by viewModels delegate you will see it's lazy it means it will initialize when it is first time accessed
#MainThread
public inline fun <reified VM : ViewModel> ComponentActivity.viewModels(
noinline factoryProducer: (() -> Factory)? = null
): Lazy<VM> {
val factoryPromise = factoryProducer ?: {
defaultViewModelProviderFactory
}
return ViewModelLazy(VM::class, { viewModelStore }, factoryPromise)
}
when im using getData method from my local database DAO via ViewModel and try to receive data in activity im getting nulls, but when i use exactly same function(getData) implemented inside activity it works properly. My data doesn't survive 1st approach somehow. Simplified code below.
FormDao
class FormDao(val realm: Realm) {
fun findById(id: Int): LiveData<Form> {
val liveData = MutableLiveData<Form>()
val form = realm
.where(Form::class.java)
.equalTo("id", id)
.findFirst()!!
liveData.postValue(form)
return liveData
}
}
I made my FormDao extension of the realm object so anytime I have an instance of the realm object I can easily access the db queries in the FormDao class.
RealmDao.kt
fun Realm.formDao() : FormDao = FormDao(this)
ViewModel
open class NewFormViewModel(private val repository: FormRepository) : ViewModel() {
val realm: Realm by lazy {
Realm.getDefaultInstance()
}
fun getForm(): LiveData<Form> {
return realm.formDao().findById(53)
}
override fun onCleared() {
realm.close()
super.onCleared()
}
}
Its factory class
class NewFormViewModelFactory(private val repository: FormRepository) :
ViewModelProvider.NewInstanceFactory(){
override fun <T : ViewModel?> create(modelClass: Class<T>): T {
return NewFormViewModel(repository) as T
}
}
Activity
class NewFormActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_new_form)
val newFormViewModelFactory = NewFormViewModelFactory(repository = FormRepository())
val newFormViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this, newFormViewModelFactory).get(NewFormViewModel::class.java)
val button: Button = findViewById(R.id.addFormButton)
button.setOnClickListener {
var test1 = newFormViewModel.getForm()
Log.v("LOGG", test1.value?.id.toString())
}
}
}
There is exisiting data with id = 53 in local DB so im expecting to get 53 as answer here, but its null for some reason. Local db work ok itself. Same thing happens when i try to get data from remote db with retrfoit. Thanks a million!
Okay, i found out what was the problem with my DAO. Im not used to work with LiveData so i made little mess with binding my custom class to LiveData.
fun findById(id: Int): LiveData<Form> {
val liveData = MutableLiveData<Form>()
val form = realm
.where(Form::class.java)
.equalTo("id", id)
.findFirst()!!
liveData.value = form <--- was liveData.pastValue(form)
return liveData
}
Now DAO works fine. But as i said earlier i had problem with my Retrofit call aswell (that's what made me think it's about passing data between view and viewmodel etc), but i should probably make different question about that.
I'm working with MVVM, and I have made different implementations of it, but one thing that is still making me doubt is how do I get data from a Repository (Firebase) from my ViewModel without attaching any lifecycle to the ViewModel.
I have implemented observeForever() from the ViewModel, but I don't think that is a good idea because I think I should communicate from my repository to my ViewModel either with a callback or a Transformation.
I leave here an example where I fetch a device from Firebase and update my UI, if we can see here, I'm observing the data coming from the repo from the UI, but from the ViewModel I'm also observing data from the repo, and here is where I really doubt if I'm using the right approach, since I don't know if observeForever() will be cleared on onCleared() if my view is destroyed, so it won't keep the observer alive if the view dies.
UI
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
button.setOnClickListener {
val deviceId = editText.text.toString().trim()
observeData(deviceId)
}
}
fun observeData(deviceId:String){
viewModel.fetchDeviceData(deviceId).observe(this, Observer {
textView.text = "Tipo: ${it.devType}"
})
ViewModel
class MainViewmodel: ViewModel() {
private val repo = Repo()
fun fetchDeviceData(deviceId:String):LiveData<Device>{
val mutableData = MutableLiveData<Device>()
repo.getDeviceData(deviceId).observeForever {
mutableData.value = it
}
return mutableData
}
}
Repository
class Repo {
private val db = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().reference
fun getDeviceData(deviceId:String):LiveData<Device>{
val mutableData = MutableLiveData<Device>()
db.child(deviceId).child("config/device").addListenerForSingleValueEvent(object: ValueEventListener{
override fun onDataChange(dataSnapshot: DataSnapshot) {
val device = dataSnapshot.getValue(Device::class.java)
mutableData.value = device
}
override fun onCancelled(dataError: DatabaseError) {
Log.e("Error","handle error callback")
}
})
return mutableData
}
}
This example just shows how to fetch the device from Firebase, it works, but from my ViewModel, it keeps making me think that observeForever() is not what I'm looking for to communicate data between the repository to the ViewModel.
I have seen Transformations, but I, in this case, I just need to deliver the entire Device object to my UI, so I don't need to transform the Object I'm retrieving to another Object
What should be here the right approach to communicate the repository and the ViewModel properly?
is observeForever lifecycle aware?
No, that's why it's called observeForever.
I have implemented observeForever() from the ViewModel, but I don't think that is a good idea
No, it's not, you should be using Transformations.switchMap {.
since I don't know if observeForever() will be cleared on onCleared() if my view is destroyed, so it won't keep the observer alive if the view dies.
Well if you're not clearing it in onCleared() using removeObserver(observer), then it won't clear itself, because it observes forever.
here is where I really doubt if I'm using the right approach,
No, you can do much better than this following a reactive approach.
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
button.setOnClickListener {
val deviceId = editText.text.toString().trim()
viewModel.onSelectedDeviceChanged(deviceId)
}
viewModel.selectedDevice.observe(this, Observer { device ->
textView.text = "Tipo: ${device.devType}"
})
}
And
class MainViewModel(
private val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle,
): ViewModel() {
private val repo = Repo() // TODO: move to Constructor Argument with ViewModelProvider.Factory
private val selectedDeviceId: MutableLiveData<String> = savedStateHandle.getLiveData<String>("selectedDeviceId")
fun onSelectedDeviceChanged(deviceId: String) {
selectedDeviceId.value = deviceId
}
val selectedDevice = Transformations.switchMap(selectedDeviceId) { deviceId ->
repo.getDeviceData(deviceId)
}
}
And
class Repo {
private val db = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().reference // TODO: move to constructor arg? Probably
fun getDeviceData(deviceId:String) : LiveData<Device> {
return object: MutableLiveData<Device>() {
private val mutableLiveData = this
private var query: Query? = null
private val listener: ValueEventListener = object: ValueEventListener {
override fun onDataChange(dataSnapshot: DataSnapshot) {
val device = dataSnapshot.getValue(Device::class.java)
mutableLiveData.value = device
}
override fun onCancelled(dataError: DatabaseError) {
Log.e("Error","handle error callback")
}
}
override fun onActive() {
query?.removeEventListener(listener)
val query = db.child(deviceId).child("config/device")
this.query = query
query.addValueEventListener(listener)
}
override fun onInactive() {
query?.removeEventListener(listener)
query = null
}
}
}
}
This way, you can observe for changes made in Firebase (and therefore be notified of future changes made to your values) using LiveData, rather than only execute a single fetch and then not be aware of changes made elsewhere to the same data.
To use ObserveForever, you need to remove the observer inside onClear in the ViewModel.
In this case, I would suggest to use Transformation even though you just need a direct mapping without any processing of the data, which is actually the same as what you are doing with the observer for observerForever.
observeForever() is not Lifecycle aware and will continue to run until removeObserver() is called.
In your ViewModel do this instead,
class MainViewmodel: ViewModel() {
private val repo = Repo()
private var deviceData : LiveData<Device>? = null
fun fetchDeviceData(deviceId:String):LiveData<Device>{
deviceData = repo.getDeviceData(deviceId)
return deviceData!!
}
}
I'm rewriting an app that involves retrieving data from a server via REST, saving that to the database on each Android device, and then displaying that data to the user. The data being retrieved from the server has a "since" parameter, so it won't return all data, just data that has changed since the last retrieval.
I have the retrieval from the server working fine, but I'm not sure the best way to save that data to the database, then show it to the user. I'm using Kotlin, Retrofit, Room and LiveData.
The code below is a simplified version of what I'm actually doing, but it gets the point across.
MyData.kt (model)
#Entity(tableName = "MyTable")
data class MyData(
#PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
#ColumnInfo(name = "id")
var id Int? = null,
#SerializedName("message")
#ColumnInfo(name = "message")
var message: String? = null
) {
companion object {
fun fromContentValues(values: ContentValues): MyData {
val data = MyData()
// Do this for id and message
if (values.containsKey("id") {
data.id = values.getAsInteger("id")
}
}
}
}
DataViewModel.kt
class DataViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
private val repository = DataRepository()
fun data(since: Long) =
liveData(Dispatchers.IO) {
val data = repository.getDataFromServer(since)
emit(data)
}
fun saveData(data: List<MyData>) =
liveData(Dispatchers.Default) {
val result = repository.saveDataToDatabase(data)
emit(result)
}
fun data() =
liveData(Dispatchers.IO) {
val data = repository.getDataFromDatabase()
emit(data)
}
}
DataRepository.kt
class DataRepository(application: Application) {
// I won't add how the Retrofit client is created, it's standard
private var client = "MyUrlToGetDataFrom"
private var myDao: MyDao
init {
val myDatabase = MyDatabase.getDatabase(application)
myDao = myDatabase!!.myDao()
}
suspend fun getDataFromServer(since: Long): List<MyData> {
try {
return client.getData(since)
} catch (e: Exception) {
}
}
fun getDataFromDatabase(): List<MyData> = myDao.getAll()
suspend fun insertData(data: List<MyData>) =
myDao.insertData(data)
}
MyDao.kt
#Dao
interface PostsDao {
#Query("SELECT * FROM " + Post.TABLE_NAME + " ORDER BY " + Post.COLUMN_ID + " desc")
suspend fun getAllData(): List<MyData>
#Insert
suspend fun insertData(data: List<MyData>)
}
ListActivity.kt
private lateinit var mDataViewModel: DataViewModel
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceBundle: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceBundle)
mDataViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this, DataViewModelFactory(contentResolver)).get(DataViewModel::class.java)
getData()
}
private fun getData() {
mDataViewModel.data(getSince()).observe(this, Observer {
saveData(it)
})
}
private fun saveData(data: List<MyData>) {
mDataViewModel.saveData(data)
mDataViewModel.data().observe(this, Observer {
setupRecyclerView(it)
})
}
ListActivity.kt, and possibly the ViewModel and Repository classes where it uses coroutines, are where I'm stuck. getData() retrieves the data from the server without a problem, but when it comes to saving it in the database, then taking that saved data from the database and displaying it to the user I'm unsure of the approach. As I mentioned I'm using Room, but Room will not let you access the database on the main thread.
Remember, I have to save in the database first, then retrieve from the database, so I don't want to call mDataViewModel.data().observe until after it saves to the database.
What is the proper approach to this? I've tried doing CoroutineScope on the mDataViewModel.saveData() then .invokeOnCompletion to do mDataViewModel.data().observe, but it doesn't save to the database. I'm guessing I'm doing my Coroutines incorrectly, but not sure where exactly.
It will also eventually need to delete and update records from the database.
Updated Answer
After reading comments and updated question I figured out that you want to fetch a small list of data and store it to database and show all the data stored in the database. If this is what you want, you can perform the following (omitted DataSouce for brevity) -
In PostDao You can return a LiveData<List<MyData>> instead of List<MyData> and observe that LiveData in the Activity to update the RecyclerView. Just make sure you remove the suspend keyword as room will take care of threading when it returns LiveData.
#Dao
interface PostsDao {
#Query("SELECT * FROM " + Post.TABLE_NAME + " ORDER BY " + Post.COLUMN_ID + " desc")
fun getAllData(): LiveData<List<MyData>>
#Insert
suspend fun insertData(data: List<MyData>)
}
In Repository make 2 functions one for fetching remote data and storing it to the database and the other just returns the LiveData returned by the room. You don't need to make a request to room when you insert the remote data, room will automatically update you as you are observing a LiveData from room.
class DataRepository(private val dao: PostsDao, private val dto: PostDto) {
fun getDataFromDatabase() = dao.getAllData()
suspend fun getDataFromServer(since: Long) = withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
val data = dto.getRemoteData(since)
saveDataToDatabase(data)
}
private suspend fun saveDataToDatabase(data: List<MyData>) = dao.insertData(data)
}
Your ViewModel should look like,
class DataViewModel(private val repository : DataRepository) : ViewModel() {
val dataList = repository.getDataFromDatabase()
fun data(since: Long) = viewModelScope.launch {
repository.getDataFromServer(since)
}
}
In the Activity make sure you use ListAdapter
private lateinit var mDataViewModel: DataViewModel
private lateinit var mAdapter: ListAdapter
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceBundle: Bundle?) {
...
mDataViewModel.data(getSince())
mDataViewModel.dataList.observe(this, Observer(adapter::submitList))
}
Initial Answer
First of all, I would recommend you to look into Android Architecture Blueprints v2. According to Android Architecture Blueprints v2 following improvements can be made,
DataRepository should be injected rather than instantiating internally according to the Dependency Inversion principle.
You should decouple the functions in the ViewModel. Instead of returning the LiveData, the data() function can update an encapsulated LiveData. For example,
class DataViewModel(private val repository = DataRepository) : ViewModel() {
private val _dataList = MutableLiveData<List<MyData>>()
val dataList : LiveData<List<MyData>> = _dataList
fun data(since: Long) = viewModelScope.launch {
val list = repository.getData(since)
_dataList.value = list
}
...
}
Repository should be responsible for fetching data from remote data source and save it to local data source. You should have two data source i.e. RemoteDataSource and LocalDataSource that should be injected in the Repository. You can also have an abstract DataSource. Let's see how can you improve your repository,
interface DataSource {
suspend fun getData(since: Long) : List<MyData>
suspend fun saveData(list List<MyData>)
suspend fun delete()
}
class RemoteDataSource(dto: PostsDto) : DataSource { ... }
class LocalDataSource(dao: PostsDao) : DataSource { ... }
class DataRepository(private val remoteSource: DataSource, private val localSource: DataSource) {
suspend fun getData(since: Long) : List<MyData> = withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
val data = remoteSource.getData(since)
localSource.delete()
localSource.save(data)
return#withContext localSource.getData(since)
}
...
}
In your Activity, you just need to observe the dataList: LiveData and submit it's value to ListAdapter.
private lateinit var mDataViewModel: DataViewModel
private lateinit var mAdapter: ListAdapter
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceBundle: Bundle?) {
...
mDataViewModel.data(since)
mDataViewModel.dataList.observe(this, Observer(adapter::submitList))
}
Activity receiving intent
class AddNoteActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var addViewModel: NoteViewModel
private lateinit var titleEditText: TextInputEditText
private lateinit var contentEditText: TextInputEditText
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_note_activty)
setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
addViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(NoteViewModel::class.java)
titleEditText = findViewById(R.id.itemTitle)
contentEditText = findViewById(R.id.itemNote)
val extra = intent.extras
if (extra != null) {
val uuid = extra.getLong("UUID")
val note: Notes? = addViewModel.getNote(uuid)
titleEditText.setText(note!!.title)
contentEditText.setText(note.note)
}
}
}
NoteViewModel class
class NoteViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
companion object {
private var note: Notes = Notes(0, "", "test title", "test ontent")
}
fun getNote(uuid: Long?): Notes {
val job = async(CommonPool) {
getNoteAsyncTask(notesDatabase).execute(uuid)
}
runBlocking { job.await() }
return note
}
class getNoteAsyncTask(database: NotesDatabase) : AsyncTask<Long, Unit, Unit>() {
private val db: NotesDatabase = database
override fun doInBackground(vararg params: Long?) {
note = db.notesDataDao().getNote(params[0])
}
}
}
If I pass an intent to get a Note object from the database with a uuid and set that received data in titleEditText and contentEditText, the data set in the Note was from previous intent invoked when we clicked on the Note item in RecyclerView. On clicking the Note item for the first time, I get the default value which I have set "test title" and "test content".
Aforementioned is the behavior most of the time. Sometimes the data set in titleEditText and contentEditText is of the correct Note object.
Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong? How can I correct my apps behavior?
Unfortunately, there is a big mistake in how you use a view model to provide a data to your view(AddNoteActivity).
Basically, your view never has a chance to wait for the data to be fetched as it always receives a default value. This happens because the AsyncTask runs on its own thread pool so the coroutine completes immediately and returns a default value.
You should consider using LiveData to post a new object to your view and refactor your view model.
So, you need to make a query to the database synchronous and observe changes to a note rather than have a getter for it. Of course, in a real life scenario it might be a good idea to have different kind of states to be able to show a spinner while a user is waiting. But this is another big question. So to keep things simple consider changing your view model to something like that:
class NoteViewModel(private val database: NotesDatabase) : ViewModel { // you do not need an application class here
private val _notes = MutableLiveData<Notes>()
val notes: LiveData<Notes> = _notes
fun loadNotes(uuid: Long) {
launch(CommonPool) {
val notes = database.notesDataDao().getNote(uuid)
_notes.setValue(notes)
}
}
}
Then, you can observe changes to the note field in your activity.
class AddNoteActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
// ...
val noteViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(NoteViewModel::class.java)
noteViewModel.notes.observe(this, Observer {
title.text = it.title
content.text = it.note
})
}
}
Also you need to use a ViewModelProvider.Factory to create your view model and properly inject dependencies into it. Try to avoid having a context there as it makes it much harder to test.
