Description

This is android library to simplify Android SQlite Database
Refer DBXDroidDemo for Usage.

It become very tedious to write large Android SQLite Open helper for simple database usage. So I developed this library to create android databases very easily using straight forward functions.

Features

• Create Android SQLite Database
• Add Tables to database
• Insert new entry to tables
• Fetch entries from tables
• Ability to interact with database directly using getDatabase() function.

Compatibility

DBXDroid library is compatible for Android 2.3+

Installation

To use DBXDroid ,

• Download Library
• Extract it to DBXDroid directory
• Copy it to your Android Project Workspace
• Add it as a project to your Android ADT
• Edit properties of your project -> Android -> Library -> Add DBXDroid as Library
• Library is now ready to use

Use

1. Define Database

DBXDatabase studentDatabase;
studentDatabase = new DBXDatabase("college.db", this);

2. Create ColumnList

DBXColumnList studentColumns = new DBXColumnList();
studentColumns.addColumn(new DBXColumn("student_id",DBXFieldType.INTEGER));
studentColumns.addColumn(new DBXColumn("student_name",DBXFieldType.TEXT));
studentColumns.addColumn(new DBXColumn("student_dept",DBXFieldType.VARCHAR));

3. Add new Table to Database

studentDatabase.addTable(new DBXTable("students", studentColumns));

4. Create Database

try {
	studentDatabase.createDatabase();
} catch (Exception e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}

5. Open Database

try {
	studentDatabase.openDatabase();
} catch (Exception e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}

6. Inserting new Entry to table

DBXFieldValuePairList studentFieldsList = new DBXFieldValuePairList();
studentFieldsList.addFieldValuePair(new DBXFieldValuePair("student_id", Integer.parseInt(studentID)));
studentFieldsList.addFieldValuePair(new DBXFieldValuePair("student_name", studentName));
studentFieldsList.addFieldValuePair(new DBXFieldValuePair("student_dept", studentDept));

try {
	if (studentDatabase.insertEntry("students", studentFieldsList) != -1) {

		Toast.makeText(this, "Added", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
	}
} catch (Exception e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}

7. Fetching Entries

DBXResult dbxResult = studentDatabase.getEntries("students");
String[][] result = dbxResult.getResults();

8. Access Database Directly

public SQLiteDatabase getDatabase();

This method returns SQLiteDatabase object reference for your database, So you can interact normally and directly to database

9. Closing Database

try {
	studentDatabase.closeDatabase();
} catch (Exception e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}
