I am using GreenDAO in my android project. I see a problem in GreenDAO. whenever I make changes to the existing tables and change the version to migrate the changes, GreenDAOis deleting all the tables. I tried to make changes in the GreenDAOgenerated files but it is not going to be the correct procedure and it did not work, however.
@Override
public void onUpgrade(Database db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
Log.i("greenDAO", "Upgrading schema from version " + oldVersion + " to " + newVersion + " by dropping all tables");
dropAllTables(db, true);
onCreate(db);
}
I tried to comment dropAllTables
in above code it did not work, the code is regenerating on running the code? Does anybody know how to fix it?
EDIT:
I saw few questions related to this problem but they are OLD threads did not help me.
You can extend DaoMaster.DevOpenHelper
and provide your own implementation of onUpgrade
.
Implement your own DevOpenHelper
public class MyOpenHelper extends DaoMaster.DevOpenHelper {
//..
//override the constructor here by calling super
//..
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
switch(oldVersion) {
case 1:
//upgrade logic from version 1 to 2
/* break was omitted by purpose. */
case 2:
//upgrade logic from version 2 to 3
/* break was omitted by purpose. */
case 3:
//upgrade logic from version 3 to 4
break;
default:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"unknown oldVersion " + oldVersion);
}
}
}
Instantiate your class
DaoMaster.DevOpenHelper helper = new MyOpenHelper(this, databaseName, null);
SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase();
DaoMaster daoMaster = new DaoMaster(db);
