Schematic
=========

Automatically generate a ContentProvider backed by an SQLite database.

Usage
=====

First create a class that contains the columns of a database table.

```java
public interface ListColumns {

@DataType(INTEGER) @PrimaryKey @AutoIncrement String _ID = "_id";

@DataType(TEXT) @NotNull String TITLE = "title";
}
```

Then create a database that uses this column

```java
@Database(version = NotesDatabase.VERSION)
public final class NotesDatabase {

public static final int VERSION = 1;

@Table(ListColumns.class) public static final String LISTS = "lists";
}
```

And finally define a ContentProvider

```java
@ContentProvider(authority = NotesProvider.AUTHORITY, database = NotesDatabase.class)
public final class NotesProvider {

public static final String AUTHORITY = "net.simonvt.schematic.sample.NotesProvider";

@TableEndpoint(table = NotesDatabase.LISTS) public static class Lists {

@ContentUri(
path = "lists",
type = "vnd.android.cursor.dir/list",
defaultSort = ListColumns.TITLE + " ASC")
public static final Uri LISTS = Uri.parse("content://" + AUTHORITY + "/lists");
}
```

Table column annotations
------------------------

```java
@AutoIncrement
@DataType
@DefaultValue
@NotNull
@PrimaryKey
@References
@Unique
```

Defining an Uri
---------------

The ```@ContentUri``` annotation is used when the ```Uri``` does not change.

```java
@ContentUri(
path = "lists",
type = "vnd.android.cursor.dir/list",
defaultSort = ListColumns.TITLE + " ASC")
public static final Uri LISTS = Uri.parse("content://" + AUTHORITY + "/lists");
```

If the ```Uri``` is created based on some value, e.g. an id, ```@InexactContentUri``` is used.
```java
@InexactContentUri(
path = Path.LISTS + "/#",
name = "LIST_ID",
type = "vnd.android.cursor.item/list",
whereColumn = ListColumns._ID,
pathSegment = 1)
public static Uri withId(long id) {
return Uri.parse("content://" + AUTHORITY + "/lists/" + id);
}
```

Including in your project
=========================

```groovy
dependencies {
annotationProcessor 'net.simonvt.schematic:schematic-compiler:{latest-version}'
compile 'net.simonvt.schematic:schematic:{latest-version}'
}
```
