Overview
appbase-droid
is an Elasticsearch client library usable from an Android device.
We built this as there are currently no good or maintained Elasticsearch libraries out there for Android.
Our design goals in building appbase-droid
are:
- Provide a lightweight library for querying right from Android (1MB in size),
- Maintain compatibility with Java so it can also be used as a lightweight Java alternative (20x lighter than the official Elasticsearch client library),
- Only support methods related to document and query DSL, ideally your Elasticsearch hosting environment comes with a read-only access.
- Bonus: Support for streaming data queries when Elasticsearch is hosted on appbase.io app; build live charts, newsfeeds, streaming search.
Quick Start
-
Creating the client
AppbaseClient client = new AppbaseClient(url, appname, username, password);
Note: If you are hosting with appbase.io the url should be "https://scalr.api.appbase.io". The username should refer to the first part of the API credentials, and the password as the second part of it. You can get an idea on how to map the appname, username, password by viewing this GIF.
-
Index a document
String result = client.prepareIndex(type, id, body) .execute() .body() .string(); System.out.println(result);
Sample Output:
{ "_index": "droid-test", "_type": "_doc", "_id": "xvvooe", "_version": 1, "result": "created", "_shards": { "total": 2, "successful": 2, "failed": 0 }, "_seq_no": 18, "_primary_term": 3 }
-
Update a document
String result = client.prepareUpdate(type, id, parameters, doc) .execute() .body() .string(); System.out.println(result);
Sample Output:
{ "_index": "droid-test", "_type": "_doc", "_id": "eqsrxtmggk", "_version": 2, "result": "updated", "_shards": { "total": 2, "successful": 2, "failed": 0 }, "_seq_no": 26, "_primary_term": 3 }
-
Delete a document
String result = client.prepareDelete(type, id) .execute() .body() .string();
Sample Output:
{ "_index": "droid-test", "_type": "_doc", "_id": "smemya", "_version": 3, "result": "deleted", "_shards": { "total": 2, "successful": 2, "failed": 0 }, "_seq_no": 26, "_primary_term": 3 }
-
Get a document
String result = client.prepareGet(type, id) .execute() .body() .string();
Sample Output:
{ "_index": "droid-test", "_type": "_doc", "_id": "nvyxcec", "found": false }
-
Make a search request
String query = "{ \"query\": { \"term\": { \"price\": \"100\" } } }"; String result = client.prepareSearch(type, query) .execute() .body() .string();
Sample Output:
{ "took": 0, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "skipped": 0, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 1, "max_score": 1.0, "hits": [ { "_index": "droid-test", "_type": "_doc", "_id": "bkxfsvddmo", "_score": 1.0, "_source": { "department_id": 1, "price": 5, "department_name": "Books", "name": "A Fake Book on Network Routing" } } ] } }

Testing
mvn test
will test all the supported methods.
Developing
The codebase resides under the src/main/java/io/appbase
path.
-
src/main/java/io/appbase/client
contains the main interface methods. -
src/main/java/io/appbase/requestbuilders
contains utility methods for supporting an Elasticsearch Java client like request builder functionality. -
src/main/java/io/appbase/interceptor
contains a simple utility for supporting Basic Auth authentication. -
src/main/java/io/appbase/trial
contains a sample code that uses the library.
Test files reside under src/test/java/test
path.
-
src/test/java/test/AppbaseTest
is the main test file that currently tests 7 methods. It is also a good place to see the library usage.
