I am using OrmLite 4.46 to manage my database for my android application.
And i have one problem:
I have the following code for my model:
public class Item extends Model {
#DatabaseField(generatedId = true)
private long id;
#DatabaseField(columnName = "item_name", defaultValue = "")
private String name;
#DatabaseField(columnName = "item_count", defaultValue = "0")
private int count;
public Item() {
super();
}
}
And the problem is here :
#DatabaseField(columnName = "item_name", defaultValue = "")
private String name;
When i am creating a new Item() with no arguments and i save it in the database, normally in the column item_name it should save an empty String.
But when i am retrieving the item from the database and i try
String itemName = item.getName().trim() I get a NullPointerException
So it seems that the name is null.
Also i checked the created table from the above model in the sqlite db file and when i set defaultValue="" the column is created with no default value.
Does anybody know of any solution to this problem?
You can initialize name field to empty string at class level like:
#DatabaseField(columnName = "item_name", defaultValue = "")
private String name = "";
This will initialize name field to empty string when you create object of class Item and save it to database.
When you retrieve it from database the name field will be empty ("") instead of null.
When i am creating a new Item() with no arguments and i save it in the database, normally in the column item_name it should save an empty String.
Although #Rakesh's answer is correct, this turns out to be a bug in ORMLite. The code is supposed to insert the defaultValue during a create if the field is null. However, there was an errant .equals("") that was stopping this.
I've submitted the following bug report and have fixed it in trunk. It will be in 4.47.

I'm trying to get id column from my database, ad it to ArrayList and to each id add "\t0",
My database is created using Room, i have a lot of column which one of them is
#PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
private int id;
I am operating using ItemDAO and i have there function
#Query("SELECT * FROM item")
List<Item> getItems();
Which writes to ArrayList<Items> all of contents
I was thinking of running it trough the loop getting id and adding to ArrayList<String> but this doesn't seems to be eficient.
Your DAO:
#Query("SELECT Id FROM item")
List<Integer> getAllIds();
Your model:
#ColumnInfo(name = "Id")
#PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
private int id;
In you query SELECT * FROM item * means select All, put there your column name and you will get list of objects from that column
Example: Select all items in id column SELECT id FROM item
I tried to modify and test #Valgaal 's solution. It turns out that Room can also return other type of values, more than just id (or integer).
For example, you can write an item class like this:
#Entity(tableName = Item.TABLE_NAME)
public class Item {
public static final String TABLE_NAME = "ItemsTable";
public static final String COL_DESC = "Description";
#PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
private int id;
#ColumnInfo(name = COL_DESC)
private String description;
// getter & setter...
}
And then, you can write Dao like this:
#Dao
public interface ItemDao {
#Query("SELECT * FROM " + Item.TABLE_NAME)
List<Item> getItems();
#Query("SELECT " + Item.COL_DESC + " FROM " + Item.TABLE_NAME)
List<String> getItemDescriptions();
}
And it's functional as it should be.
I guess all of the other data types that Room can save (including custom types?) can be queried (and returned lists of specific column data) by the same logic above. Hope this would help someone in the future!
For returning multiple columns, create a pojo class that can be set as a return type for your DAO function
Note the select query should contain the Pojo class variable name (can be done via AS keyword)

I landed on this question for my issue...but didnt find answer. So this may help others.
Following is Pojo are extended by realm , at first time getting all fields from api and i am using insertOrUpdate() operation of realm to dump data in realm.
ServiceModel.java
#JsonProperty("id")
private String id;
#JsonProperty("title")
private String title;
#JsonProperty("description")
private String description;
#JsonProperty("current_status")
private String currentStatus;
But for next time i am not getting current_status field from response and so my ServiceModel table is getting updated with currentStatus as null. How To make currentStatus to not getting updated if it is not in response.
I had the same problem and here how I solved it. You should select existing Object by id:
ServiceModel existingService = realm.where(ServiceModel.class).equalsTo("id",id).findFirst();
if(existingService !=null){ // check if such record existed, it may be absent
String oldCurrentStatus = existingService.currentStatus();
//set old current status to new API object
}
I had the same problem and as far as I know there is no Realm function or annotation yet for such case.
I have a requirement where I need to store a List in a column in the database. Serializing the list might be an option, but i am not sure if it is the right one.
Also, i want to avoid creating another table to store the list elements and a reference to the original table row.
I am using ORMLite for the database operations.
Its a concept of foreign collection.
You need to create an entity that wraps the String. Something looks like:
#DatabaseTable
public class Student {
#DatabaseField(generatedId = true)
print int id;
#DatabaseField
private String fname;
#DatabaseField
private String lname;
#DatabaseField(foreign = true)
private Address address;
}
Then your Address class would have a ForeignCollection of these Student.
#DatabaseTable
public class Address {
#DatabaseField(generatedId = true)
print int id;
#ForeignCollectionField()
private ForeignCollection<Student> student;
}

I'm new to Android and I have problem with ORMLITE.
For example let's say I have this table:
#DatabaseTable(tableName = "accounts")
public class Account {
#DatabaseField(id = true)
private int id;
#DatabaseField(canBeNull = false)
private String name;
…
and I want to add new data into my table without setting id.
I tried this way:
#DatabaseTable(tableName = "accounts")
public class Account {
#DatabaseField(generatedId = true,allowGeneratedIdInsert=true)
private int id;
#DatabaseField(canBeNull = false)
private String name;
…
> Account acc = new Account();
>
> acc.setName("Example");
>
> AccountDao.createOrupdate(acc);
Here I can't insert acc into my database because acc id is zero. I want to generate id. Can I use autoincrement?
Here i can't insert acc into my database because acc id is zero. I want to generate id. Can i use autoincrement ?
So to quote the javadocs for the allowGeneratedIdInsert field in #DatabaseField:
If this is set to true then inserting an object with the ID field already set will not override it with a generated-id. This is useful when you have a table where items sometimes have IDs and sometimes need them generated. This only works if the database supports this behavior and if generatedId() is also true for the field.
So if you have acc.id set to a non-0 value, it should be inserted into the database with the id from acc. If you want acc to get an auto-generated id then you should just set acc.id to be 0.
For an example, you could take a look at the ORMLite Android test class. Search for the testCreateWithAllowGeneratedIdInsert() method which has code like:
AllowGeneratedIdInsert foo = new AllowGeneratedIdInsert();
assertEquals(1, dao.create(foo));
AllowGeneratedIdInsert result = dao.queryForId(foo.id);
assertEquals(foo.id, result.id);
...
AllowGeneratedIdInsert foo3 = new AllowGeneratedIdInsert();
foo3.id = 10002;
assertEquals(1, dao.create(foo3));
result = dao.queryForId(foo3.id);
assertEquals(foo3.id, result.id);
NOTE: the docs mention that this only works if the database supports it but Sqlite is one of those databases.
Use Wrapper class instead of int
#DatabaseField(id = true)
private Integer id;
When writing an instance of my data class to the database via ORMLite, and one of the child members (a foreign field) is null, I get back a non null child member.
Data classes as follows:
public class Site {
// snip
#DatabaseField(foreign = true, canBeNull = true)
private InstallationType installationType;
}
public class InstallationType {
#DatabaseField(generatedId = true)
private int id;
#DatabaseField
private String name;
}
When I read my instance of the Site class again via
getSiteDao().queryForId(id);
the installationType member is non null, but with a non-existent id. The only way the rest of our application can now work with this object, is if I manually do a lookup through the InstallationTypeDAO and set what I get back on the site. Query will sometimes return null as per the documentation.
Is there a way of getting ORMLite to set this member to null?
This was a bug in ORMLite that was fixed in version 4.15 (3/7/2011). Here's the change log file. What version are you using? Have you tried to update? Here's the bug report page:
Currently the following test passes so I think we have good coverage on that bug.
#Test
public void testForeignNull() throws Exception {
Dao<Foreign, Integer> dao = createDao(Foreign.class, true);
Foreign foreign = new Foreign();
foreign.foo = null;
assertEquals(1, dao.create(foreign));
Foreign foreign2 = dao.queryForId(foreign.id);
assertNotNull(foreign2);
assertNull(foreign2.foo);
}
With Foreign having the following fields:
#DatabaseField(generatedId = true)
public int id;
#DatabaseField(foreign = true)
public Foo foo;
If you are up to date in versions, please let me know if you can change the test to get it to fail.
