Support for DAO update notifications

[Dia Kharrat]

I'm considering ORMLite for an Android app I'm developing, and was wondering if ORMLite has support for listeners on data updates, such that registered listeners of a DAO get notified when the underlying data changes. The UI can be a listener of this event and in turn update the view accordingly, without having to know who performed the update. This pattern really makes things modular and decreases coupling of different components of the app.

Are there any plans to provide built-in support for this pattern in ORMLite?

Thanks,

Dia

There's really no reason to build this into OrmLite.  It should be almost trivial for you or someone to implement this using a custom Dao that uses your favorite event tool (Guava's EventBus or RoboGuice's EventManager.)

For all the lost sheep other there, consider this as a nice and elegant option: REALM

Or use DaoObserver in ormlite, or any of the several other sqlite
orm's that support data update notifications. Or use one of the
several rxjava integrations.

Or use realm, I guess.
