Spatia-Room

Buy Me A Coffee

What is it?

Spatia-Room is a bridge between Room Android Database and Spatialite.

How to use it?

  • Add Room dependencies
  • Add Spatia-room dependency
  • Creates database using SpatiaRoom Builder
  • Creates Dao with Geo Queries
  • Create Geometry columns in your model and use GeometryConverters to map them to Kotlin objects

Adding Spatia-Room dependency

  • Add Jitpack Repository
allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}
  • Add dependency

Please check which android room version are you using and select the perfect fit for you with SpatiaRoom.

  • Which version use?
Room SpatiaRoom LWGeom functions
2.3.0 0.2.3
>= 2.4.2 < 2.5.0 0.2.4
>= 2.5.0 0.3.0
  • Android Room >= 2.5.0
dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.anboralabs:spatia-room:0.3.0'
}
  • Android Room >= 2.4.2 < 2.5.0
dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.anboralabs:spatia-room:0.2.4'
}
  • Android Room < 2.3.0
dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.anboralabs:spatia-room:0.1.1'
}

Compatibility Mapbox SDK (Important)

Mapbox sdk requirements is ndk 23 as min, add following line to your gradle.

Mapbox V10

dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.dalgarins:android-spatialite:2.1.2-ndk23-alpha'
}

Mapbox V11

dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.dalgarins:android-spatialite:2.1.2-ndk-r23c'
}

Creating the database

val instance = SpatiaRoom.databaseBuilder(
                            context.applicationContext,
                            AppDatabase::class.java,
                            DB_NAME
                        ).build()

Creating the database from custom spatialite db

The db template must be a spatialite db, if you want to use geo functions.

val instance = SpatiaRoom.databaseBuilder(
                            context.applicationContext,
                            AppDatabase::class.java,
                            DB_NAME
                        ).createFromAsset("my_template.db")
                            .build()

Creating Dao

  • Mark each geo-spatial queries with @SkipQueryVerification
import androidx.room.*
import co.anbora.labs.spatiaroom.data.model.Post
import kotlinx.coroutines.flow.Flow

@Dao
interface PostsDao {

    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    fun insertPosts(posts: List<Post>)

    @Query("SELECT spatialite_version()")
    @SkipQueryVerification
    fun getSpatiaVersion(): String

    @Query("SELECT proj4_version()")
    @SkipQueryVerification
    fun getProj4Version(): String

    @Query("SELECT geos_version()")
    @SkipQueryVerification
    fun getGeosVersion(): String

    @Query("""
        SELECT ASText(
            MakePolygon(
                GeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 100 0, 100 100, 0 100, 0 0)')
            )
        ) as line
    """)
    @SkipQueryVerification
    fun getMakePolyline(): String

    @Query("""
        SELECT ST_Distance(
            Transform(MakePoint(-72.1235, 42.3521, 4326), 26986),
            Transform(MakePoint(-71.1235, 42.1521, 4326), 26986)
        ) as distance
    """)
    @SkipQueryVerification
    fun getDistance(): Double

    @Query("DELETE FROM ${Post.TABLE_NAME}")
    fun deleteAllPosts()

    @Query("SELECT * FROM ${Post.TABLE_NAME} WHERE ID = :postId")
    fun getPostById(postId: Int): Flow<Post>

    @Query("SELECT * FROM ${Post.TABLE_NAME}")
    fun getAllPosts(): Flow<List<Post>>

    @Query("SELECT * FROM ${Post.TABLE_NAME}")
    fun getAllPostsList(): List<Post>
}

Proguard configuration

Add this line to your proguard rules file.

-keep class org.spatialite.database.** { *; }

Example Code

There is a very simple and useless example in the demo module.

Other FAQ

What is Spatialite?

Simply: Spatialite = SQLite + advanced geospatial support.
Spatialite is a geospatial extension to SQLite. It is a set of few libraries written in C to extend SQLite with geometry data types and many SQL functions above geometry data. For more info: https://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/

Is there a list of all supported Spatialite functions?

Yes - http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/spatialite-sql-4.4.0.html

Does it use JDBC?

No. It uses cursors - the suggested lightweight approach to access SQL used in the Android platform instead of the heavier JDBC.

64-bit architectures supported?

Yes. It builds for arm64-v8a and x86_64. mips64 is not tested.
