Looking for object persistence faster than SQLite? Check out our new mobile database ObjectBox (GitHub).
greenDAO is a light & fast ORM for Android that maps objects to SQLite databases. Being highly optimized for Android, greenDAO offers great performance and consumes minimal memory.
Home page, documentation, and support links: https://greenrobot.org/greendao/
greenDAO's unique set of features:
- Rock solid: greenDAO has been around since 2011 and is used by countless famous apps
- Super simple: concise and straight-forward API, in V3 with annotations
- Small: The library is <150K and it's just plain Java jar (no CPU dependent native parts)
- Fast: Probably the fastest ORM for Android, driven by intelligent code generation
- Safe and expressive query API: QueryBuilder uses property constants to avoid typos
- Powerful joins: query across entities and even chain joins for complex relations
- Flexible property types: use custom classes or enums to represent data in your entity
- Encryption: supports SQLCipher encrypted databases
greenDAO is available on Maven Central. Please ensure that you are using the latest versions of the greendao and greendao-gradle-plugin artifact.
Add the following Gradle configuration to your Android project. In your root build.gradle
file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral() // add repository
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3'
classpath 'org.greenrobot:greendao-gradle-plugin:3.2.2' // add plugin
}
}
In your app modules app/build.gradle
file:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'org.greenrobot.greendao' // apply plugin
dependencies {
implementation 'org.greenrobot:greendao:3.2.2' // add library
}
Note that this hooks up the greenDAO Gradle plugin to your build process. When you build your project, it generates classes like DaoMaster, DaoSession and DAOs.
Continue at the Getting Started page.
If your project uses R8 or ProGuard add the following rules:
-keepclassmembers class * extends org.greenrobot.greendao.AbstractDao {
public static java.lang.String TABLENAME;
}
-keep class **$Properties { *; }
# If you DO use SQLCipher:
-keep class org.greenrobot.greendao.database.SqlCipherEncryptedHelper { *; }
# If you do NOT use SQLCipher:
-dontwarn net.sqlcipher.database.**
# If you do NOT use RxJava:
-dontwarn rx.**
