Method Detail

where

@NonNull
public Where where(@NonNull
                   Expression expression)

Creates and chains a Where object for specifying the WHERE clause of the query.

Parameters:

expression - The where expression.

Returns:

The Where object that represents the WHERE clause of the query.

orderBy

@NonNull
public OrderBy orderBy(@NonNull
                       Ordering... orderings)

Creates and chains an OrderBy object for specifying the orderings of the query result.

Parameters:

orderings - The Ordering objects.

Returns:

The OrderBy object that represents the ORDER BY clause of the query.

limit

@NonNull
public Limit limit(@NonNull
                   Expression limit)

Creates and chains a Limit object to limit the number query results.

Parameters:

limit - The limit expression.

Returns:

The Limit object that represents the LIMIT clause of the query.

limit

@NonNull
public Limit limit(@NonNull
                   Expression limit,
                   @Nullable
                   Expression offset)

Creates and chains a Limit object to skip the returned results for the given offset position and to limit the number of results to not more than the given limit value.

Parameters:

limit - The limit expression.

offset - The offset expression.

Returns:

The Limit object that represents the LIMIT clause of the query.

toString

@NonNull
public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getParameters

@Nullable
public Parameters getParameters()

Returns a copies of the current parameters.

Specified by:

getParameters in interface Query

setParameters

public void setParameters(@Nullable
                          Parameters parameters)

Set parameters should copy the given parameters. Set a new parameter will also re-execute the query if there is at least one listener listening for changes.

Specified by:

setParameters in interface Query

execute

@NonNull
public ResultSet execute()
                  throws CouchbaseLiteException

Executes the query. The returning a result set that enumerates result rows one at a time. You can run the query any number of times, and you can even have multiple ResultSet active at once.

The results come from a snapshot of the database taken at the moment the run() method is called, so they will not reflect any changes made to the database afterwards.

Specified by:

execute in interface Query

Returns:

the ResultSet for the query result.

Throws:

CouchbaseLiteException - if there is an error when running the query.

explain

@NonNull
public String explain()
               throws CouchbaseLiteException

Returns a string describing the implementation of the compiled query. This is intended to be read by a developer for purposes of optimizing the query, especially to add database indexes. It's not machine-readable and its format may change. As currently implemented, the result is two or more lines separated by newline characters: * The first line is the SQLite SELECT statement. * The subsequent lines are the output of SQLite's "EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN" command applied to that statement; for help interpreting this, see https://www.sqlite.org/eqp.html . The most important thing to know is that if you see "SCAN TABLE", it means that SQLite is doing a slow linear scan of the documents instead of using an index.

Specified by:

explain in interface Query

Returns:

a string describing the implementation of the compiled query.

Throws:

CouchbaseLiteException - if an error occurs

addChangeListener

@NonNull
public ListenerToken addChangeListener(@NonNull
                                       QueryChangeListener listener)

Adds a query change listener. Changes will be posted on the main queue.

Specified by:

addChangeListener in interface Query

Parameters:

listener - The listener to post changes.

Returns:

An opaque listener token object for removing the listener.

addChangeListener

@NonNull
public ListenerToken addChangeListener(@Nullable
                                       Executor executor,
                                       @NonNull
                                       QueryChangeListener listener)

Adds a query change listener with the dispatch queue on which changes will be posted. If the dispatch queue is not specified, the changes will be posted on the main queue.

Specified by:

addChangeListener in interface Query

Parameters:

executor - The executor object that calls listener. If null, use default executor.

listener - The listener to post changes.

Returns:

An opaque listener token object for removing the listener.

removeChangeListener

public void removeChangeListener(@NonNull
                                 ListenerToken token)

Removes a change listener wih the given listener token.

Specified by:

removeChangeListener in interface Query

Parameters:

token - The listener token.
