Couchbase Lite Android released!

[Traun Leyden]

In a similar vein to the Couchbase Lite iOS project, there is now a brand new repository for Couchbase Lite Android:

    https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-android

The plan is that all new development will happen in this repository, and the TouchDB-Android repository will be left as-is.  There have been some pull requests recently (thanks!) and one of those made it into both repositories since it got merged before the Couchbase Lite repo was created.  Any new pull requests should go into the Couchbase Lite repo.

The biggest change in this new repository so far is that all of the classes, packages, and Android SDK projects have been renamed accordingly.  For example, TDServer -> CBLServer.  I'm planning to write up a more thorough description of the renaming and put it on a wiki page.

The sqlite file extension has not changed, it's still .touchdb.

The uri prefix has been renamed from touchdb:// -> cblite://, however this should be opaque to the application anyway.

The current plan w/ regards to the github issues is to leave the current ones on the TouchDB-Android github project, and any new issues should go into the Couchbase-Lite-Android project.

I've brought the Android Grocery Sync project up to speed with Couchbase Lite, as well as put together some notes on the wiki page about Moving from touchDB to Couchbase Lite.

Great start on the new Couchbase port. Looking forward to some traction on the Android project.

I noticed that the Github issues list is currently empty. Are you tracking potential features / bugs / questions in a different location, or is it okay for us to log some requests / questions in the github project going forward?

Thanks,

Bhaskar

Please put new issues in the (currently empty) Couchbase Lite github project issues tracker.

Hello, i had been using TouchDB(android) for a long time now, haven't updated the code in about 6 months or so. Simply because, the following features were stable:

• replication (with only small memory sized attachments)
• the usual views and filtered replications

I know it wasn't that fast back then and i had been skeptical about going forward with TouchDB coz there was no one maintaining it. 

Do you suggest I upgrade to cblite? Coz i'm going to resume development on an app. (note: the app is in production :) and working fine). 

Would love your opinion. I'm thrilled that there is going to be a mini couchdb capable technology in android. I know this is too much to ask for, but is there a roadmap? Any ETA's on alpha builds? (Also the replicator branch is sitting quitely :), do we not have to use that anymore? )
