Group By in ContentResolver in Ice Cream Sandwich

Question

I am making a query on the Android Contacts ContentProvider. I need a Group By clause. In Gingerbread and Honeycomb, I do something like this to search phone numbers and ema

Answer 1

first off all excuse my POOR English! I'm new to Java/Android, started with 4.2.1 and fight with that too almost 2 days, then i start reading some more details about SQLiteQueryBuilder the query part is pretty much that what u are looking for ;)

it have:

public Cursor query (SQLiteDatabase db, String[] projectionIn, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String groupBy, String having, String sortOrder)

the query "function" of the Content Provider only gives you:

query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection,String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder)

here u can trick around, i will post you my code snip:

    @Override
public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection,
        String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) {
    SQLiteQueryBuilder queryBuilder = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
    final SQLiteDatabase db = mOpenHelper.getReadableDatabase();
/* a String is a Object, so it can be null!*/
    String groupBy = null;
    String having = null;

    switch (sUriMatcher.match(uri)) {
...
...
...
        case EPISODES_NEXT:
        groupBy = "ShowID";
        queryBuilder.setTables(EpisodenTable.TableName);
        break;
    default:
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown URI " + uri);
    }

    Cursor c = queryBuilder.query(db, projection, selection, selectionArgs,
            groupBy, having, sortOrder);
    c.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);
    return c;
}

thats its!

here the code i use to execute:

        Cursor showsc = getContext().getContentResolver().query(
            WhatsOnTVProvider.CONTENT_EPISODES_NEXT_URI,
            EpisodenTable.allColums_inclCount,
            String.valueOf(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() / 1000)
                    + " < date", null, null);
