This blog is for beginners who wants to work with SQLite for storing images & retrieving the same in Android device.
Here, in this blog, we will be inserting and displaying an image from SQLite database.
SQLite: SQLite is an open source SQL Database in local devices. It stores data to a text file onto a device. SQLite is a light weight database which comes inbuilt with Android OS.
Let’s go through each and every step to acquire the required results
1. Create a New Project and give a name as ‘SQLiteDemoActivity’ and click Next.
DataBaseHandler db = new DataBaseHandler(this); // get image from drawable Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.android); // convert bitmap to byte ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream); byte imageInByte[] = stream.toByteArray();
// Inserting Contacts
Log.d("Insert: ", "Inserting ..");
db.addContact(new Contact("Android", imageInByte));
// display main List view bcard and contact name
// Reading all contacts from database
List<Contact> contacts = db.getAllContacts();
for (Contact cn : contacts) {
String log = "ID:" + cn.getID() + " Name: " + cn.getName()
+ " ,Image: " + cn.getImage();
// Writing Contacts to log
Log.d("Result: ", log);
//add contacts data in arrayList
imageArry.add(cn);
}
adapter = new ContactImageAdapter(this, R.layout.screen_list,
imageArry);
ListView dataList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
dataList.setAdapter(adapter);
}
9. Create a constructor Contact.
// getting ID
public int getID() {
return this._id;
}
// setting id
public void setID(int keyId) {
this._id = keyId;
}
You have to add Name and Image like above code in Get() and Set().
10. Create an Adapter for getting a view and set an Image in List.
ArrayList<Contact> data=new ArrayList<Contact>();
public ContactImageAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId, ArrayList<Contact> data) {
super(context, layoutResourceId, data);
this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId;
this.context = context;
this.data = data;
}
Add a code for getView() below onCreate().
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View row = convertView;
ImageHolder holder = null;
if(row == null)
{
LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity)context).getLayoutInflater();
row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);
holder = new ImageHolder();
holder.txtTitle = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.txtTitle);
holder.imgIcon = (ImageView)row.findViewById(R.id.imgIcon);
row.setTag(holder);
}
else
{
holder = (ImageHolder)row.getTag();
}
Contact picture = data.get(position);
holder.txtTitle.setText(picture._name);
//convert byte to bitmap take from contact class
byte[] outImage=picture._image;
ByteArrayInputStream imageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(outImage);
Bitmap theImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
holder.imgIcon.setImageBitmap(theImage);
return row;
}
11. Create a DatabaseHandler class for Handling a Database. For this, you should extend SQLiteOpenHandler class.
In onCreate(), create a Table consisting of 3 columns – id, name, photo/image
// Creating Tables
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
String CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_CONTACTS + "("
+ KEY_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY," + KEY_NAME + " TEXT,"
+ KEY_IMAGE + " BLOB" + ")";
db.execSQL(CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE);
}
In onUpgrade(), upgrade a Table
// Upgrading database
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
// Drop older table if existed
db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_CONTACTS);
// Create tables again
onCreate(db);
}
Adding a new Contact
public void addContact(Contact contact) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(KEY_NAME, contact._name); // Contact Name
values.put(KEY_IMAGE, contact._image); // Contact Phone
// Inserting Row
db.insert(TABLE_CONTACTS, null, values);
db.close(); // Closing database connection
}
Getting a single Contact
Contact getContact(int id) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_CONTACTS, new String[] { KEY_ID,
KEY_NAME, KEY_IMAGE }, KEY_ID + "=?",
new String[] { String.valueOf(id) }, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null)
cursor.moveToFirst();
Contact contact = new Contact(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)),
cursor.getString(1), cursor.getBlob(1));
// return contact
return contact;
}
Getting All Contacts
public List<Contact> getAllContacts() {
List<Contact> contactList = new ArrayList<Contact>();
// Select All Query
String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM contacts ORDER BY name";
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
// looping through all rows and adding to list
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
Contact contact = new Contact();
contact.setID(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)));
contact.setName(cursor.getString(1));
contact.setImage(cursor.getBlob(2));
// Adding contact to list
contactList.add(contact);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
// close inserting data from database
db.close();
// return contact list
return contactList;
}
Updating Single Contact
public int updateContact(Contact contact) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(KEY_NAME, contact.getName());
values.put(KEY_IMAGE, contact.getImage());
// updating row
return db.update(TABLE_CONTACTS, values, KEY_ID + " = ?",
new String[] { String.valueOf(contact.getID()) });
}
Deleting Single Contact
public void deleteContact(Contact contact) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
db.delete(TABLE_CONTACTS, KEY_ID + " = ?",
new String[] { String.valueOf(contact.getID()) });
db.close();
}
Getting Contact Counts
public int getContactsCount() {
String countQuery = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_CONTACTS;
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(countQuery, null);
cursor.close();
// return count
return cursor.getCount();
}
12. Run your app and you will get an output like below:
