AutoValue: Cursor Extension
An extension for Google's AutoValue that generates a createFromCursor(Cursor c) method for AutoValue annotated objects.
Usage
Include auto-value-cursor in your project and add a static factory method to your auto-value object.
import com.gabrielittner.auto.value.cursor.ColumnName; @AutoValue public abstract class User {
abstract String id();
abstract String name();
// use the annotation if column name and field name aren't the same
@ColumnName("email_address") abstract String email();
public static User create(Cursor cursor) {
return AutoValue_User.createFromCursor(cursor);
}
// Optional: if your project includes RxJava the extension will generate a Func1<Cursor, User>
public static Func1<Cursor, User> mapper() {
return AutoValue_User.MAPPER;
}
// Optional: if your project includes RxJava 2 the extension will generate a Function<Cursor, User>
public static Function<Cursor, User> mapper() {
return AutoValue_User.MAPPER_FUNCTION;
}
// Optional: When you include an abstract method that returns ContentValues and doesn't have
// any parameters the extension will implement it for you
abstract ContentValues toContentValues();
}
Important: The extension will only be applied when there is
- a static method that returns your value type (
Userin the example) and takes aCursoras parameter - and/or a static method that returns a
Func1<Cursor, YourValueType>and has no parameters
Custom types
The following types are supported by default:
byte[]double/Doublefloat/Floatint/Integerlong/Longshort/ShortStringboolean/Boolean
For other types, you need to use the @ColumnAdapter annotation and specify a factory class that implements the ColumnTypeAdapter interface. When you need to map multiple columns to one custom type you can simply ignore the given columnName. Eg.:
User.java:
@AutoValue public abstract class User {
abstract String id();
abstract String name();
@ColumnAdapter(AvatarAdapter.class) Avatar avatar();
public static User createFromCursor(Cursor cursor) {
return AutoValue_User.createFromCursor(cursor);
}
}
AvatarAdapter.java:
public class AvatarAdapter implements ColumnTypeAdapter<Avatar> {
public Avatar fromCursor(Cursor cursor, String columnName) {
String smallImageUrl = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("small_image_url");
String largeImageUrl = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("large_image_url");
return new Avatar(smallImageUrl, largeImageUrl);
}
public void toContentValues(ContentValues values, String columnName, Avatar value) {
// leave this empty when you don't use a "toContentValues()" method
values.putString("small_image_url", value.smallImageUrl);
values.putString"large_image_url", value.largeImageUrl);
}
}
Avatar.java:
public class Avatar {
final String smallImageUrl;
final String largeImageUrl;
public Avatar(String smallImageUrl, String largeImageUrl) {
this.smallImageUrl = smallImageUrl;
this.largeImageUrl = largeImageUrl;
}
}
Download
Add a Gradle dependency:
annotationProcessor 'com.gabrielittner.auto.value:auto-value-cursor:1.1.0' // if you need the @ColumnName or @ColumnAdapter annotations also include this: compile 'com.gabrielittner.auto.value:auto-value-cursor-annotations:1.1.0'Snapshots of the development version are available in Sonatype's snapshots repository.
