问题
I'm writing an application with an "online mode", that is, data is downloaded, parsed and inserted into a SQLite database as needed. All this is performed by a service. The app consists of several activities that ask the service for a data update (different data depending on the activity).
When the user navigates through the activities (without waiting for the service to finish), it's very easy to get SQLiteExceptions (message: database is locked).
I thought about using synchronized blocks, but that would force the user to wait while loading a new activity (that needs database access to load) while the service finishes updating. So that seems a dead end.
Another option might be to stop the update when in the onStop method of each activity. Of course, the update will be interrupted, but that's not a big issue. Problem with this is that I'm not sure how to approach it.
My question is, how can/should I handle this?
回答1:
If your activity is only going to read and not write to database like my case, this is what i did as a workaround:
- create a service ( i.e DatabaseService 0 and use it as a central point to access database (i.e open a database connection) to ensure you only have one dbhelper at a time.
- all activity and service which need to access database have to establish a connection to DatabaseService
- ensure that only your DownloadService's thread is able to write to database and it should use transaction
- after that, you can use getReadable database to read / use the connection to stop the download service , etc.
Just make sure that you only use 1 dbhelper.
