SQLite sort by integer value - android

I'm using ActiveAndroid library. I need to get a list of my objects sorted by the integer field. here is how I'm trying to do that:
public static List<Category> getCategories() {
try {
return new Select()
.all()
.from(Category.class)
.orderBy("NumInRow ASC") // NumInRow is my int field
.execute();
} catch (Exception ignored) {
return null;
}
}
Am I right?

Yes Absolutely ,what you have done is Correct way to order the column,it doesn't matter whether it is a int or some other data type.
Example :
public static List<Item> getAll(Category category) {
// This is how you execute a query
return new Select()
.from(Item.class)
.where("Category = ?", category.getId())
.orderBy("Name ASC")
.execute();
}

Couchbase Lite DocumentUpdater does not update the db

Here is my code to update the document:
doc.update(new Document.DocumentUpdater() {
#Override
public boolean update(UnsavedRevision newRevision) {
Map < String, Object > properties = newRevision.getUserProperties()
properties.put("timeCreated", "348390284");
properties.put("name", "231321");
return true;
}
});
When I run a query and iterate over the result rows using the following code:
Database db = getDB(ID);
Query query = db.createAllDocumentsQuery();
query.setDescending(true);
try {
QueryEnumerator result = query.run();
for (Iterator<QueryRow> it = result; it.hasNext(); ) {
QueryRow row = it.next();
row.getDocument().getProperties();
}
} catch (CouchbaseLiteException e) {}
row doesn't have any of the updates I put in the updater. I am getting something like this:
row -> size 2
"conflict" -> "size=0"
"rev" -> "1-ac2065458743..."
I am stuck at this point and unsure how to fix it.
UnsavedRevision.getUserProperties() returns the new Map instance. So you need to set it back by calling setUserProperties() method to the revision before returning true.
Following codes is from Couchbase Lite Sample code. LINK
Document doc = database.getDocument(myDocId);
doc.update(new Document.DocumentUpdater() {
#Override
public boolean update(UnsavedRevision newRevision) {
Map<String, Object> properties = newRevision.getUserProperties();
properties.put("title", title);
properties.put("notes", notes);
newRevision.setUserProperties(properties); <<----
return true;
}
});
I hope this helps you.
Thanks!

Unable to OR two condition in Parse query

I have been trying to OR two condition on two different fields of a table. while individual condition works fine, but when I try to use it both, it doesn't work.
Here is my code :
ParseQuery<NewExamAlert> query = ABC.getQuery();
query.whereContainedIn("category", Arrays.asList(arr)); //here arr is array of different category
query.whereContainedIn("subCategory", Arrays.asList(arr1));//here arr1 is array of different subcategory
query.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ABC>() {
public void done(List<ABC> list, ParseException exp) {
//My Logic
}
}
Please let me know, what am I missing ?
You'll need to explicitly "or" them:
List<ParseQuery<NewExamAlert>> queries = new ArrayList<ParseQuery<NewExamAlert>>();
queries.add( ParseQuery<NewExamAlert> query1 = ABC.getQuery()
.whereContainedIn("category", Arrays.asList(arr)) );
queries.add( ParseQuery<NewExamAlert> query2 = ABC.getQuery()
.whereContainedIn("subCategory", Arrays.asList(arr1)) );
ParseQuery<NewExamAlert> orQuery = ParseQuery.or( queries );
orQuery.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ABC>() {
public void done(List<ABC> list, ParseException exp) {
//Your Logic
}
}

How to get timestamp(rowversion) from sql azure to android with mobileservice

i have a problem getting timestamp(rowversion) from my SQL Azure database.
In my tables there is a column with datatype timestamp. This timestamp isn't similar to datetime, it's more like a rowversion.
I can get all other data in this table with the query from MobileServiceTable, there is no problem.
But this special datatype is a problem.
My class for this table looks like:
public class ArbeitsgangBezeichnung {
#com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName("id")
private int ID;
#com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName("ABZ_ArbeitsgangBezeichnungID")
private int ABZ_ArbeitsgangBezeichnungID;
#com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName("ABZ_Bezeichnung")
private String ABZ_Bezeichnung;
#com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName("ABZ_RowVersion")
private StringMap<Number> ABZ_RowVersion;
//constructor, getter, setter, etc....
}
If i login in Azure and look at the table, there are my example values and the automatic generated timestamp. The timestamp value looks like "AAAAAAAAB/M=". If i login in sql database and let me show the data, then for timestamp there is only "binarydata" (in pointed brackets) and not that value as it is shown in Azure.
The variable "ABZ_RowVersion" should include this timestamp, but the data in the StringMap doesn't look like the one in Azure. I tried String and Byte as datatype for the StringMap, but it doesn't helped.
I tried byte[] for ABZ_RowVersion, but then i got an exception in the callback method.
Then i tried Object for ABZ_RowVersion, that time i found out, that it is a StringMap, but nothing more.
Does anybody know, how to get the data from timestamp, i need it for comparison.
Thanks already
When you create a timestamp column in a table, it's essentially a varbinary(8) column. In the node SQL driver, it's mapped to a Buffer type (the usual node.js type used for binary data). The object which you see ({"0":0, "1":0, ..., "length":8}) is the way that a buffer is stringified into JSON. That representation doesn't map to the default byte array representation from the Gson serializer in Android (or to the byte[] in the managed code).
To be able to use timestamp columns, the first thing you need to do is to "teach" the serializer how to understand the format of the column returned by the server. You can do that with a JsonDeserializer<byte[]> class:
public class ByteArrayFromNodeBufferGsonSerializer
implements JsonDeserializer<byte[]> {
#Override
public byte[] deserialize(JsonElement element, Type type,
JsonDeserializationContext context) throws JsonParseException {
if (element == null || element.isJsonNull()) {
return null;
} else {
JsonObject jo = element.getAsJsonObject();
int len = jo.get("length").getAsInt();
byte[] result = new byte[len];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
String key = Integer.toString(i);
result[i] = jo.get(key).getAsByte();
}
return result;
}
}
}
Now you should be able to read data. There's still another problem, though. On insert and update operations, the value of the column is sent by the client, and SQL doesn't let you set them in them. So let's take this class:
public class Test {
#SerializedName("id")
private int mId;
#SerializedName("name")
private String mName;
#SerializedName("version")
private byte[] mVersion;
public int getId() { return mId; }
public void setId(int id) { this.mId = id; }
public String getName() { return mName; }
public void setName(String name) { this.mName = name; }
public byte[] getVersion() { return mVersion; }
public void setVersion(byte[] version) { this.mVersion = version; }
}
On the insert and update operations, the first thing we need to do in the server-side script is to remove that property from the object. And there's another issue: after the insert is done, the runtime doesn't return the rowversion property (i.e., it doesn't update the item variable. So we need to perform a lookup against the DB to retrieve that column as well:
function insert(item, user, request) {
delete item.version;
request.execute({
success: function() {
tables.current.lookup(item.id, {
success: function(inserted) {
request.respond(201, inserted);
}
});
}
});
}
And the same on update:
function update(item, user, request) {
delete item.version;
request.execute({
success: function() {
tables.current.lookup(item.id, {
success: function(updated) {
request.respond(200, updated);
}
});
}
});
}
Now, this definitely is a lot of work - the support for this type of column should be better. I've created a feature request in the UserVoice page at http://mobileservices.uservoice.com/forums/182281-feature-requests/suggestions/4670504-better-support-for-timestamp-columns, so feel free to vote it up to help the team prioritize it.

ORMLite Select Distinct Fields

I have a SQLite table (on Android) that has numerous fields, but certain fields are repeated/denormalized. I would like to select a distinct set of this data and use them as actual objects.
Example
books table
title summary author
Little Johnny A funny kid Johnny Himself
Big Johnny A funny adult Johnny Himself
I would like to extract one author from this list ("Johnny Himself") and would expect I should be able to do this with ORMLite instead of manually with Java.
I would like to select a distinct set of this data and use them as actual objects.
ORMLite supports a distinct() method on the QueryBuilder that should do what you want. So your code would look something like:
List<Book> results = booksDao.queryBuilder()
.distinct().selectColumns("author").query();
In this case, the resulting Book objects would only have the author field set and not the id field or anything else. If you just wanted the author names instead of objects then you could do:
GenericRawResults<String[]> rawResults =
booksDao.queryRaw("SELECT DISTINCT author FROM books");
for (String[] resultColumns : rawResults) {
String author = resultColumns[0];
...
}
This is my application code
public class DbHelper<T> {
private Class<T> c;
private DatabaseHelper db;
public DbHelper(Class<T> c) {
this.c = c;
db = DatabaseHelper.getInstance();
}
This is a good idea
public List<T> queryForBuilderDistinct(int offset, int limit, String ColumnsName,
String orderName, boolean isAsc) {
try {
Dao<T, Integer> dao = db.getDao(c);
QueryBuilder<T, Integer> queryBuilder = dao.queryBuilder();
if (offset != 0) {
queryBuilder.offset((long) offset);
}
if (limit != 0) {
queryBuilder.limit((long) limit);
}
if (orderName != null) {
queryBuilder.orderBy(orderName, isAsc);
}
queryBuilder.distinct().selectColumns(ColumnsName);
return dao.query(queryBuilder.prepare());
} catch (SQLException e) {
LogUtil.e(TAG, "queryForBuilderDistinct", e);
}
return new ArrayList<T>();
}

Filling an object list from MS SQL Server

I've got this user class (this is a reduced version for the example, the real one has more parameters but they are implemented the same way):
public class User {
private int _userID;
private String _fullName;
public User(){
}
public User(int userID, String fullName){
this._userID = userID;
this._fullName = fullName;
}
int getUserID(){
return this._userID;
}
String getFullName(){
return this._fullName;
}
void setUserID(int userID){
this._userID = userID;
}
void setFullName(String fullName){
this._fullName = fullName;
}
}
And I want to retrieve a list from my MS SQL Server of this type of objects in Android, I'm using this method inside the connector helper class (the class in charge to make connection to the server using JDBC):
public List<User> getUsers(int ID){
java.sql.ResultSet result = null;
List<User> users = new ArrayList<User>();
User user = new User();
try {
connection = this.getConnection();
if (connection != null) {
//QUERY
String statement = "SELECT * Users WHERE groupID = "
+ ID;
Statement select = connection.createStatement();
//Calls Query
result = select.executeQuery(statement);
while (result.next()){
user.setUserID(result.getInt("UserID"));
user.setFullName(result.getString("FullName"));
System.out.println(result.getString("FullName"));
//Adds to the list
users.add(user);
}
result.close();
result = null;
closeConnection();
}
else {
System.out.println("Error: No active Connection");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return users;
}
The data is retrieved well from the server according to the System.out.println I'm using in every iteration of the while, the problem is that the list is always filled with repeated information about the last user I retrieve, to clarify:
If I got users A, B and C, when I read user A, list has this structure:[A], when I read user B, list is:[B,B], when I read user C: [C,C,C], etc. So basically all the objects in the list are being overwritten by the last one read.
I've been struggling with this for hours, hope someone can spot the problem because I can't, thanks in advance for the help.
You instantiate a single User object before your loop, and then modify the same User object at each iteration. So you end up with N times the same User object added to your list. You must recreate a new User at each iteration:
while (result.next()){
User user = new User();
user.setUserID(result.getInt("UserID"));
...
