I want to operate on multiple tables. I searched a lot but everywhere I could find is single table with one content provider.
How can I use multiple tables under one content provider? How can I get result from two/three tables ?
Can I provide my own SQL select query from multiple tables in ContentProvider?
Can anybody give me any example or link where I can get idea?

I'm writing an RSS reader for Android. I've faced a certain difficulty which the problem I can't resolve since databases aren't my expertise.. So i figured out maybe one of you could help me out! I currently have 3 tables (Categories, links and feeds). My goal is too link a feed to multiple categories. Therefor I'm using a Link table. My databases is an Android ContentProvider (sqlite) and looks like the following:
| Categories | | Links | | Feeds |
|------------| |---------| |-------|
| _ID | | Category| | _ID |
| Title | | Feed | | Title |
| URL |
I currently wrote the following code in my FeedListActivity to retrieve a list of links and their feeds.
CODE:.................
Now my question:
I was wondering how I could optimize this database layout, code or query so I would get my entries in a more efficient way. Because i believe this link table or the query to retrieve links isn't needed! Or am i doing this the correct way?
How to retrieve data from two tables via the ContentProvider way? I.E. the database of Calendar application, include many tables including Events and Deleted, and some others. I want to retrive records in Events table, whose _sync_id field is also in Deleted table. Usually, we write a SQL sentence like: select (all fields in Events) from Events as e, Deleted as d where e._sync_id = d._sync_id or select * rom Events as e where e._sync_id in select _sync_id from Deleted etc. But, how can I accomplish it in the ContentProvider way? I saw ContentProvider.query take a Uri as the first parameter, but pity that I don't know how to build one that could fulfill my purpose.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just encountered the following situation. I have an Android app with a scenario which I guess may happen in multiple apps. It's about tagging/labeling/categorizing, call it as you want.After CommonsWare's feedback here a bit of a clarification. I'm weird about doing the second query to the DB inside the CursorAdapter, basically this would result in one query per row and I fear this will heavily impact my performance (I've still to test it on a real device with a substantial amount of data to see how much this impacts).My question therefore is on whether there are some strategies on how to avoid this given my data model or whether I have to basically "live" with that :)

I'm trying to use Android SDK's SQLiteQueryBuilder to join two tables, let's call them t1 and t2, and query that table based on an attribute from each table, say t1.att1 and t2.att2, equaling a certain value. I'm a little confused on the syntax when it comes to the selection.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to display a single list, ordered by date which contains different types of data, images, video and whatnot.
I guess you could have one separate table for each type and the use something like FULL OUTER JOIN (simulated as sqlite doesn't support it) and sort on date. But this would be complicated because I still need to have unique IDs across all tables.
Maybe having a master list which has ID and date, and then JOIN in the types tables? But how bad is the performance of this using sqlite? I really like to avoid having a super table which contains columns all the combined types could ever need.
I am trying to create a database with two tables. Employees and Computers. A spinner with employee names fill properly when I don't try create and do anything with the second table...

I have this database file under the usual databases folder and a bunch of tables inside it. Please note that I don't want to retrieve under the command line. I know I can use the ".tables" command. I want to retrieve a list of all tables in it, using code, so that I can execute some specific algorithms on each of them. Also, I didn't find any questions with this problem on Android, so please forgive me if there is any. I was wondering if there is any function I can use under Databases, but I didn't find any either.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone working with big sqlite tables and trying to match rows using patterns (for example for autocomplete purposes) ? recently i played with LIKE statement and it seems it will never use table index (if any), you have to use GLOB instead. but....... the weird thing is that you cannot use selectionParams in your query: you have to specify your pattern in selection like:
CODE:........
My words table has two TEXT columns: 'key' and 'value' and index on 'key'
For example: i have table with ~28000 rows and when using selectionParams my query took 1500 ms and without selectionParams 20 ms does it have anything to do with android or its sqlite weird feature?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have about twenty pages of information that is stored in tables that needs to be stored in my Android application. Each column is a designated stop on a bus route and the column is filled with times that the bus will be at the stop.

Here is an example of one of the tables: Bus Times
I have thought about using a SQL lite as that seems as though it would be able to store these tables quite easily; but when I think of using SQL I think of dynamic data storage and this shouldn't be changing more than once a year.
Is SQL appropriate for this application? Is there a better way to do this?

I have a db with big long strings in several columns, and about 50 rows, so writing the insert statements alone would take quite some space. It seems a waste.

View 4 Replies View RelatedNow I've done a bit of research into Fusion tables already and I know it's possible for me to put all the data that's going to be in my app into a fusion table and then display the fusion table there for the user to see the data. Much easier to update the data when need be instead of making it static text and having to update the app via the play store every time I need to update the data.
How do I do this though? All I know is that it's possible and that I should use the Fusion table API. More than anything I just need a starting point so I know how to set up Eclipse and then learning the code is up to me.
Any apps at the moment that use Fusion tables to hold their applications data? Would be good to download them and have a play.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to add an extra field to the phonebook on android. The field contains a new contact method and when clicked it should start my own application/intent. I have created my own content provider that stores the information. I want to add this contentProvider to the phonebook in the same way organizations and email are added to the phone book. So how do i do this? I tried adding a new contact method but the field KIND needs an integer input which seems to be predefined to some specific methods (EMAIL, IM, ADDRESS etc)
So do i need to add a new type of KIND or can I link my contentProvider to the phone book so that it shows up as an extra field in the phone book?
All the example codes, tutorials or video I see, there is always one ContentProvider per SQL Table with the SQLiteOpenHelper extension defined as a private static class... Is it some sort of standard design...to have one ContentProvider per SQL Table? Or I can define one generic ContentProvider and use its instance for ever update? Is there some issue with that? Could anyone please help as my application has like 5-6 tables.
View 12 Replies View RelatedMaybe it's an easy question, but I've tried to understand why all the content providers seem not to close the DB that they use. In the NotePadProvider example (in other providers is similar), it's used a Helper to manage the DB (that extends of SQLiteOpenHelper).
This helper has a method to close the DB (http://developer.android.com/ reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteOpenHelper.html#close%28%29), but in all the providers that I have seen (even in the example), this method is never used.
For example, in the query method of the NotPadProvider we use the helper to open a DB
CODE:...........
The mOpenHelper is create in the "onCreate()" method, but there is no reference to a mOpenHelper.close() in all the provider (maybe because there is no "close()" method in ContentProvider).
Do we need to close the SQLiteOpenHelper object? When we use it inside a ContentProvider, where is the right place to close it?
I have a custom class, which represents my data-structure. This custom class is in a normal Java-library, which is included in both projects. I have one Project with a ContentProvider which provides this data to Activities of other Projects. And an other Project with an Activity, where I want to handle this data in objects of this custom class.
How can I get this data to the Activity? The Cursor [1] only supports primitive Types.

How can I test if there's a ContentProvider for a Uri ?
I'm currently doing a query on it and checking for a null cursor, but that generates an error in the system log each time, which I don't like to do.
