Android :: How To Call OnUpgrade Method Of Database?
Jan 31, 2010
How can i call the onUpgrade Method of the database? Background of my question: I do a backup on the sdcard of the full database. And the user can restore this database. But if in the meantime (between backup and restore) an app update has made changes to the database i get a problem on restoring. The new columns are not there after restoring. So i want to call the onUpgrade method to add all new/changed columns. Or is there a better way for this?

Is the onUpgrade method of SQLiteOpenHelper ever called? If so, when is it called and by what? Or if it is not called by developers, then why is it there? What should be done in the method I have seen examples where it drops all the tables, but then a comment says that dropping all the tables is NOT what you should do.

I want to know when a close method of a sqlite database should be called in a life cycle, since the NotePad sample in the sdk (http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html) doesn't call NotesDbAdapter.close(), it implements that method though.
My application accesses the db not so frequently, but some, it depends on user requests. I think I should open the db at the onCreate, and close it at the onDestroy. Is that a good practice?

How can I emulate an onUpgrade call for my SQLiteOpenHelper class? I have tried changing the version number in my SQLiteOpenHelper class and versionCode in manifest but onUpgrade is not called. Any idea? I need to check my onUpgrade code before upload it to the market, I don't want my app's users get a buggy upgrade.

Basically I'm calling the onDraw method like so...
code:...................
You see I'm drawing it on top of a Camera view and the information being drawn is subject to change. I have a listener setup which will update the variables being drawn at the appropriate time but I now want to "refresh" this draw in that listener.

I get a SQLiteException if I try to issue an alter statement in the onUpgrade method of SQLiteOpenHelper subclass:
Can't upgrade read-only database from version X to Y: /path/to/db
That makes no sense at all! Where did I go wrong?

I am doing my first app with a database and I am having a little trouble understanding the onUpgrade function. My database has a table with an items and a favorite column so that the user can favorite an item. Most implementations I see simply drop the table and reconstruct it but I don't want to do this. I want to be able to add more items to the table.
When the app is upgraded through the android marketplace does the database know its version number? So could I increment the version number in the code and then export it to the marketplace and when the user boots up the upgraded version for the first time then onUpgrade will be called?
If this is the case my onUpgrade would simply pull from a file and add the database items in. Is this a standard way of doing things or is there a better way of handling this in Android. I am trying to stay as standard as possible.

You need a reference to the class that contains the method you want to call. To access the method homepage() inside the eSkyGuide from the class Weather, you need an instance of the eSkyGuide class inside the instance of the Weather class.

Every time i increase my database version and push the upgraded app to the users, something weird happens.. For some it works perfectly fine, and some report crashes (including through the Market's reporting system) caused by the lack of table columns i just added in onUpgrade.
If you want to see the method:
http://code.google.com/p/tag-todo-list/source/browse/trunk/Donut/src/com/android/todo/data/ToDoDB.java#136
I can't spot any exceptions that appear in onUpgrade. What i'm currently doing to bypass these problems is intercepting the exceptions where the new fields are invoked for the first time and then calling onUpgrade 'manually', which is kind of dirty.
Also, the app sometimes generates a 'no such table' SQLiteException when accessing the main table (again, only for some users) which is incredibly strange... Does someone know why these things happen? Or can you spot something wrong in my code?

For Android, I have a custom view which I fill up with primitive shapes in the onDraw() method. Coming from a Processing background, I expected the draw method to be called automatically 30 times per second, but its clear that that's not how android views work. So how should I go about calling this method 30 times per second?

The following code leads to "java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: Thread already started." the second time it is run through on the program This happens the second time updateUI.start() is called. I've stepped through it multiple times and the thread is called and completely runs to completion before hitting updateUI.start(). Calling updateUI.run() avoids the error but causes the thread to run in the UI thread (the calling thread, as mentioned in other posts on SO), which is not what I want. Can a Thread be started only once? If so than what do I do if I want to run the thread again? This particular thread is doing some calculation in the background, if I don't do it in the thread than it's done in the UI thread and the user has an unreasonably long wait.

I've been trying to call a non-static method, located in my main application Class, from the Preferences Class. Because the method I call is not static, I instantiate the main class and then try to call the specific method I want but it's force closing.
Preferences.class (from where I call the method):
Preference sorted = (Preference) findPreference("sortPref");
sorted.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
Object d = new Dmarks();
((Dmarks) d).queryBookmarks();
return true;
}});
the Dmarks.class method I call:
public void queryBookmarks() {
Toast.makeText(context, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//context is not null and the Toast is working if I call it from Dmarks.class }
The Logcat:

In my program I have a custom view object. Inside the view class is a method called foo. For some reason when I call foo from my activity, it doesn't fire. Here is the code:
XML of the custom view:
<com.company.application.MyView android:id="@+id/my_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
The activity code:
public class Main extends Activity { MyView mView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main);
LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = li.inflate(R.layout.main, null); mView= (MyView) v.findViewById(R.id.my_view);
//A button to fire the method inside foo() Button switchLeft = (Button) findViewById(R.id.switch_left); switchLeft.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { callTest(); } } );
} public void callTest() { Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "clicked left arrow");
mView.foo(); mView.postInvalidate();
} }
Finally here is foo:
public void foo() { mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.temp_canvas); Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "background set");
}
The first log is always written when the button is pressed, but the second log is not because foo never fires. What is the deal here? Upon request, the full view
public class MyView extends View { Drawable mBackground; Context mContext;
public MyView (Context context) { super(context); mContext = context;
mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.leftarrow1);
} public MyView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs); mContext = context;
mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.leftarrow1);
} public void foo() { mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.temp_canvas);
Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "background set"); }
@Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL); // draw a solid blue circle
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE); canvas.drawCircle(20, 20, 15, paint);
// draw a test background mBackground.setBounds(0, 0, 300, 400);
mBackground.draw(canvas); }
}

Is it by anyway possible to write to call logs database?? I mean i want to add selected numbers to the call history. I tried searching the tutorial on net but couldn't find any. Though 1 thing is for sure, IT CAN BE DONE. coz i have seen lots of applications online, which restore call logs, so i guess we can modify the call history database somehow(but how exactly is not clear with me).i already read this post but it happens to be posted a long time back.

I am using the following method in a new application I'm developing. There is a main activity, which instantiates different classes that extends RelativeLayout and I'm using setContentView to switch between the different modules of the application. I wonder if this is a good approach or necessarily I have to use different activities to the several screens the app haves.

So how can I create a custom method.I have several image buttons that I need to change the characteristics of such as an image when it is pushed and when it is not pushed. So when I push one button it changes to a pushed image for that button and ALL other buttons revert to an unpushed image. Currently I have to have this code in every button click method I would LOVE to create one method that I can call from each button click method that way if I have to change anything it is in one place.
I would love to when a button is tapped
call the custom method to revert all buttons to unpushed
then change the button being tapped to pushed
A very common process but I can't figure out how to write the custom method and then call it,,calling it should be simple something like custommethod.
