I have a room database which contains the mediastore data with various ColumnInfo like Title, Dateadded, Composer, Album, artist etc
now the simple mediastore query was ,
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, columns(),MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC " = 1", null, SortOrder);
Where SortOrder = MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE etc
I want to use the same logic to query the Room database where ColumnInfo are
@PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
public long _Id;
public long _SongId;
public String _title;
public String _album;
public long _albumId;
public String _artist;
public long _artistId;
public String _path;
public int _trackNumber;
public long _duration;
public String _year;
public String _composer;
public String _dateAdded;
I have looked at this
basically I want to Query each Column using the name of that Column and sort using ASC or DESC
how can we do that.
CodePudding user response：
You can use something like :-
@Query("SELECT * FROM mediaentity ORDER BY "
"CASE WHEN lower(:sortByColumn) = lower('_id') AND :sortDirection THEN _id END ASC,"
"CASE WHEN lower(:sortByColumn) = lower('_id') AND NOT :sortDirection THEN _id END DESC,"
"CASE WHEN lower(:sortByColumn) = lower('_SongId') AND :sortDirection THEN _SongId END ASC, "
"CASE WHEN lower(:sortByColumn) = lower('_SongId') AND NOT :sortDirection THEN _SongId END DESC,"
"CASE WHEN lower(:sortByColumn) = lower('_title') AND :sortDirection THEN _title END ASC, "
"CASE WHEN lower(:sortByColumn) = lower('_title') AND NOT :sortDirection THEN _title END DESC "
// and so on, noting the comma except on the last
";"
)
abstract List<MediaEntity> getSortedMediaList(String sortByColumn, boolean sortDirection);
- using the in-built SQLite
lowerfunction could be omitted for both sides of the expression.
Or simpler, but less safe, you could use Something like :-
@RawQuery
abstract List<MediaEntity> rawQuery(SupportSQLiteQuery qry);
public List<MediaEntity> getSortedMediaListV2(String sortByColumn, boolean sortDirection) {
String sortOrder = " ASC ";
if (!sortDirection) {
sortOrder = " DESC";
}
String query = "SELECT * FROM mediaentity ORDER BY " sortByColumn sortOrder;
return rawQuery(new SimpleSQLiteQuery(query));
}
- However, if you pass an incorrect column name then it would fail.
Perhaps consider the following working example that utilises the above and, at the end, shows what happens if an incorrect column name is used:-
db = TheDatabase.getInstance(this);
dao = db.getAllDao();
dao.deleteAll();
