I created a system in which I can run all my postgre sql queries with only one single Async Task Class in Android Studio. This was really(!!) challenging due to the big amount of limitations that I had to face. But this works actually really great!
//Used for connecting to database and executing queries.
//Index 0 of input string must be the query, Index 1 must be the tablename we demand
//We can only gather data from 1 table for each query, so if you need data from several tablecolumns, use multiple queries like:
//[0] = query, [1] = tablename, [2] = 2nd query, [3] = 2nd tablename, [4] = 3rd query, [5] = 3rd table name ... and so on (each query must come with a tablename)
public class DBHandler extends AsyncTask<String, Void, List<String>>
{
public AsyncResponse delegate;
@Override
protected List<String> doInBackground(String...query)
{
List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
String sql;
String tableresult = null;
Connection conn = null;
Statement st = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://192.168.200.300:5439/dbname?user=anonymous&password=secretpw");
st = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE); //necessary if you want to use rs.first() after rs.next(), it makes the resultset scrollable
for (int i = 0; i <= query.length-1; i = i+2) //queries are always stored in i=0 and/or in i+2, because i+1 contain the demanded tablenames for resultset handling
{
System.out.println("I is: " +i);
if (!query[i].isEmpty())
{
System.out.println(query[i]);
sql = query[i];
rs = st.executeQuery(sql);
while (rs.next())
if (!query[i + 1].isEmpty() || !rs.getString(query[i + 1]).isEmpty()) //if i+1 is empty, there is no demanded tablename. Used when we dont need any return values (ie. INSERT, UPDATE)
result.add(rs.getString(query[i + 1])); //demanded tablename is always stored in i+1
//We add an empty entry if we demand multiple tablenames so we can keep them seperate
//Might be replaced with any other char, but you will have to backtrack all usages of DBHandler and fix the filters there
if(i+2 < query.length)
result.add(" ");
}
rs.first(); //reset pointer for rs.next()
}
rs.close();
st.close();
conn.close();
System.out.println("End of AsyncTask");
}
catch (SQLException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
//onPostExecute returns query result in a List.
//We need to use interaces delegate feature to send the result to other classes, like "Auslieferung", which is implementing the interface
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(List<String> result)
{
super.onPostExecute(result);
System.out.println("Result: " +result.toString());
if (!result.isEmpty())
delegate.processFinish(result);
}
}
There is a for-loop in this Async Task.
for (int i = 0; i <= query.length-1; i = i+2)
And now finally I can explain my issue: I usually use SELECT queries, sometimes I use an INSERT query (which can be done by a single query), but when I parse an Update Query, my for-loop stops iterating after the first pass, so i+2 never happens. The update queries look like this:
String updatequeries[] = {UPDATE delivery SET contactperson = 'Jon Doe' WHERE officeid = 5, " ", UPDATE delivery SET contactemail = 'abd@def.gh' WHERE officeid = 5, " "};
Why does this for loop stop running right after the first run? The debugger does not show anything unusual, everything was parsed right and there are no queries missing. Updating a table does not return any results, but nothing depends on result values here. I tried to run 20 update queries in a single string var, but the for loop stops after the first iteration anyway. No issues are displayed in the debugger or in the logs. Have I overseen something or is there anything I don't know? Might this be a bug? Please help me! This issue drives me crazy.
