Databases Plugin Setup

Android​

To use the Databases plugin, instantiate and add it in FlipperClient, as shown in the following code:

import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.databases.DatabasesFlipperPlugin;

client.addPlugin(new DatabasesFlipperPlugin(context));

By default, it will list all Sqlite databases returned by the context. If you are storing a Sqlite database somewhere else, you can specify a File to it:

client.addPlugin(new DatabasesFlipperPlugin(new SqliteDatabaseDriver(context, new SqliteDatabaseProvider() {
@Override
public List<File> getDatabaseFiles() {
List<File> databaseFiles = new ArrayList<>();
for (String databaseName : context.databaseList()) {
databaseFiles.add(context.getDatabasePath(databaseName));
}
databaseFiles.add("...path_to_your_db...");
return databaseFiles;
}
})));

If you use a different type of database other than Sqlite, you can implement a driver to be able to access it via Flipper:

client.addPlugin(new DatabasesFlipperPlugin(new DatabaseDriver(context) {
@Override
public List getDatabases() {
return null;
}

@Override
public List<String> getTableNames(DatabaseDescriptor databaseDescriptor) {
return null;
}

@Override
public DatabaseGetTableDataResponse getTableData(DatabaseDescriptor databaseDescriptor, String table, String order, boolean reverse, int start, int count) {
return null;
}

@Override
public DatabaseGetTableStructureResponse getTableStructure(DatabaseDescriptor databaseDescriptor, String table) {
return null;
}

@Override
public DatabaseExecuteSqlResponse executeSQL(DatabaseDescriptor databaseDescriptor, String query) {
return null;
}
}));
