Full Documentation: ReActiveAndroid

ReActiveAndroid is Android ORM based on popular library ActiveAndroid. Unfortunately, the author of the library stopped maintaining it, so I decided to continue maintain the library instead of him.

New features in ReActiveAndroid in comparison with ActiveAndroid:

• multiple databases support
• more convenient migration mechanism
• a new and improved syntax for creating SQL queries
• One-to-Many relation
• inherited models
• table/model change notifications
• RxJava 2 support
• fixed bugs and more

In the plans:

• Annotation Processing instead of Java Reflection
• improved compatibility with Kotlin
• composite primary key support
• SQL Cipher support
• AutoValue support

Installation

Add this to your app build.gradle:

implementation 'com.reactiveandroid:reactiveandroid:1.4.3'

Initial setup

First, we need to create a database class:

@Database(name = "MyDatabase", version = 1)
public class AppDatabase {

}

In the @Database annotation we specified the name of the database without an extension and the version of the schema.

Next, we need to initialize the library in the onCreate method of the Application class:

DatabaseConfig appDatabase = new DatabaseConfig.Builder(AppDatabase.class)
        .build();

ReActiveAndroid.init(new ReActiveConfig.Builder(this)
        .addDatabaseConfigs(appDatabase)
        .build());

Creating tables

To create a table, we need to create a model class that inherits from the Model class and annotate it with @Table:

@Table(name = "Notes", database = AppDatabase.class)
public class Note extends Model {

    @PrimaryKey
    private Long id;
    @Column(name = "title")
    private String title;
    @Column(name = "text")
    private String text;

    public Note(String title, String text) {
        this.title = title;
        this.text = text;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setText(String text) {
        this.text = text;
    }

    public String getText() {
        return text;
    }

}

In the @Table annotation we specify table name and the database class in which the table belongs. Also you can create a model class without inheritance from the Model, but then you will not have access to save() and delete() methods.

Now we can save, update and delete records:

Note note = new Note("Title", "Text");
note.save();

note.setText("New text");
note.save();

note.delete();

Query building

Building a query in ReActiveAndroid is like building a normal SQL statement:

//inserting record
Insert.into(Note.class).columns("title", "text").values("Title", "Text").execute();

//getting all table records
List<Note> notes = Select.from(Note.class).fetch();

//getting a specific record
Note note = Select.from(Note.class).where("id = ?", 1).fetchSingle();

//getting a selection of records
List<Note> notes = Select.from(Note.class).where("title = ?", "title").fetch();

//updating record
Update.table(Note.class).set("title = ?", "New title").where("id = ?", 1).execute();

//deleting record
Delete.from(Note.class).where("id = ?", 1).execute();
