How to define frequency of SyncAdapter updates on android?

泄露秘密 提交于 2019-12-22 10:34:00
问题 ContentProvided defined for synchronization is dummy (in accordance with this approach). 回答1: If API > 8, (95% of devices) use ContentResolver.addPeriodicSync() If API = 7, (5.5% of devices as of Mar 2102) create a service with a periodic timer callback, and call ContentResolver.requestSync() . API < 6 does not support syncAdapter, so no worries. 来源: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5525593/how-to-define-frequency-of-syncadapter-updates-on-android

Am I able to run SQL functions on a ContentResolver columns query?

送分小仙女□ 提交于 2019-12-22 10:19:58
问题 I am wondering if Android's ContentResolver supports using SQL functions over the columns when you query a ContentProvider. Such as SQLite3 date functions, to get a specific date format, or datediff? What do you know about this? 回答1: No. Even if you find it works for some cases, you cannot assume it works across the board. ContentProvider is a facade. A given ContentProvider might use SQLite. It might use XML files. It might use JSON files. It might use CSV files. It might use some third

ListActivity doesn't update as data arrives

问题 I'm building a small application that I'd like to automatically update when new data arrives. From what I've read of the android documentation, I thought that because I'm using the newer techniques that a ContentObserver would be created in the background for me, and I would just get automatic calls to the Loader. If there's any more information that would be helpful, I'd be glad to add it, or to upload the complete project somewhere. Additionally, I'm targeting KitKat (sdk version 19).

问题 I am trying to make an android application that will identify how much time is left for a task to be completed. I have followed Vogella's tutorial, particularly this part http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidSQLite/article.html#todo to make a contentprovider and database.

My app calcualtes the current date and subtracts

拟墨画扇 提交于 2019-12-22 06:47:23
问题 What are advantages of using custom content provider? Why such content provider is superior of plain class that wraps SQL queries? 回答1: Content providers can be used from other processes and are required by some mechanisms on Android like the global search. There are also some classes available that help you deal with content providers that save you some of the hassle of manging memory. 回答2: Other apps will be able to access your data. You can wrap and abstract a lot of the query logic in

Using ContentResolver instead of ContentProviderClient in SyncAdapter

╄→尐↘猪︶ㄣ 提交于 2019-12-22 04:42:49
问题 As I understand from the docs, one SyncAdapter defined in a SyncService is limited to receive only one ContentProvider authority to work on. But, at the same time, it has access to ContentResolver which it allows to run queries on other ContentProviders as well. I don't understand this particular design concept if a developer is needed to provide a single content authority to SyncAdapter and nonetheless she is able to do whatever she wants on whatever ContentProvider she has access to. My
