Squeaky for Android

SQLite is simple and lightweight; it follows that managing SQLite databases on Android should be also.

Squeaky strives to be a straightforward approach to creating, migrating, and accessing SQLite databases.

Setup

Add jitpack.io to your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Add Squeaky-Android as a dependency to your app's build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.jasonwyatt:squeaky-android:1.2.0'
}

Getting Started

Define your Tables

import co.jasonwyatt.squeaky.Table

public class TodosTable extends Table {
    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return "todos";
    }

    @Override
    public int getVersion() {
        return 1;
    }

    @Override
    public String[] getCreateTable() {
        return new String[] {
            "CREATE TABLE todos ("+
            "    name TEXT NOT NULL"+
            "    completed INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0"+
            ")"
        };
    }

    @Override
    public String[] getMigration(int nextVersion) {
        return new String[0];
    }
}

Create your Database and add Tables to it

// in your Application's or Activity's onCreate() method
Database myDB = new Database(this, "todos_db");

myDb.addTable(new TodosTable());
myDb.prepare();

Use it!

myDb.insert("INSERT INTO todos (name) VALUES (?)", "Learn how to use Squeaky");
myDb.insert("INSERT INTO todos (name, completed) VALUES (?, ?)", "Already done", 1);

// query
Cursor c = myDb.query("SELECT rowid, name, completed FROM todos");
while (c.moveToNext()) {
    // get values
    long rowid = c.getLong(0);
    String name = c.getString(1);
    boolean completed = c.getInt(2) == 1;
}

// in an OnClickListener, for example..
myDb.update("UPDATE todos SET completed = 1 WHERE rowid = ?", rowid);

Migrate a Table

Modify your Table definition class:

import co.jasonwyatt.squeaky.Table

public class TodosTable extends Table {
    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return "todos";
    }

    @Override
    public int getVersion() {
        return 2;
    }

    @Override
    public String[] getCreateTable() {
        return new String[] {
            "CREATE TABLE todos ("+
            "    name TEXT NOT NULL"+
            "    completed INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0"+
            "    due_date INTEGER"+
            ")"
        };
    }

    @Override
    public String[] getMigration(int nextVersion) {
        if (nextVersion == 2) {
            return new String[] {
                "ALTER TABLE todos ADD COLUMN due_date INTEGER"
            };
        }
        return new String[0];
    }
}

That's it. Next time your database is prepared after adding the table definition, the table will be migrated for you!
