Kotlin 协程挂起错误与 Room DataSource.Factory

Question

Overview

Expected - Successfully making a Room query for a DataSource.Factory<Int, Content> in order to populate a PagedList . This strategy is similar to the Room Coroutines implementation outlined in the Medium post by Florina Muntenescu of the Android Developer Advocate team.

Observed - The app fails to build.

Error

Unfortunately, there is not a more specific error to suggest the source of the issue.

A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptExecution

Implementation

ViewModel

1. The ViewModel uses viewModelScope to launch getContentList() .
2. getContentList() is a suspending function that calls the Repository with another suspending function getMainFeedList() .
3. In the Loading and Error cases a call to Room is made queryMainContentList(...) .

class ContentViewModel : ViewModel() {
    fun processEvent(...) {
        ...
        viewModelScope.launch {
            _feedViewState.value = FeedViewState(contentList = getContentList(...))
        }
        ...
    }

    suspend private fun getContentList(...): LiveData<PagedList<Content>> =
            switchMap(getMainFeedList(isRealtime, timeframe)) { lce ->
                when (lce) {
                    is Loading -> 
                       coroutineScope { 
                          emitSource(queryMainContentList(...)) 
                       }
                    is Lce.Content -> lce.packet.pagedList!!
                    is Error -> 
                       coroutineScope { 
                          emitSource(queryMainContentList(...)) 
                       }
                }
            }
}

Repository

1. getMainFeedList() is a suspending function that uses withContext(Dispatchers.Default) in order to get the coroutine scope.
2. getMainFeedList() returns LiveData with the result from a Firebase Firestore collection request, contentEnCollection.get().addOnCompleteListener.
3. The Firestore result is saved to a Room DB with insertContentList() , from within the nested suspending coroutine launch {... } . insertContentList() works as expected using suspend .

object ContentRepository {
    fun getMainFeedList(...) =  liveData<Lce<PagedListResult>> {
            val lce = this
            val newContentList = arrayListOf<Content?>()
            contentEnCollection.get().addOnCompleteListener {
                arrayListOf<Content?>().also { contentList ->
                    it.result!!.documents.all { document ->
                        contentList.add(document.toObject(Content::class.java))
                        true
                    }
                    newContentList.addAll(contentList)
                }
                CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default).launch {
                   try {
                      database.contentDao().insertContentList(newContentList)
                   } catch (e: Exception) {
                      this.cancel()
                   }
                }.invokeOnCompletion { throwable ->
                   if (throwable == null)
                      lce.emit(Lce.Content(PagedListResult(
                         pagedList = queryMainContentList(timeframe),
                         errorMessage =  "")))
                   else // Log Room error.
                }
            }.addOnFailureListener {
                // Log Firestore error here.
                lce.emit(...)
            }
        }
    }
}

suspend fun queryMainContentList(timestamp: Timestamp) =
            liveDataBuilder(database.contentDao().queryMainContentList(timestamp, MAIN))

fun liveDataBuilder(dataSource: DataSource.Factory<Int, Content>) =
        LivePagedListBuilder(dataSource,
                PagedList.Config.Builder().setEnablePlaceholders(true)
                        .setPrefetchDistance(PREFETCH_DISTANCE)
                        .setPageSize(PAGE_SIZE)
                        .build())
                .build()

Dao

insertContentList() works as expected.

@Dao
interface ContentDao {
    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    suspend fun insertContentList(users: ArrayList<Content?>)

    @Query("SELECT * FROM content WHERE timestamp >= :timeframe AND feedType = :feedType ORDER BY timestamp DESC")
    suspend fun queryMainContentList(timeframe: Timestamp, feedType: FeedType): DataSource.Factory<Int, Content>
}

Stack Trace

The important part seems to be the following:

error: Not sure how to convert a Cursor to this method's return type (androidx.paging.DataSource.Factory).

Answer 1

PagedList

A PagedList handles loading data on the background thread by default.

If you use LivePagedListBuilder to get a LiveData, it will initialize PagedLists on a background thread for you.

• It is not needed to mark a Dao method as suspend that produces a DataSource.Factory . The return type is used by the annotation processor to know what kind of code to generate, just like the suspend modifier is.

• A DataSource when used together with a LiveData<PagedList> will execute queries off the main thread to safely call non-suspendable database and blocking network calls.

LiveData

• There is no need to mark a DAO method that returns LiveData to be suspendable since the ArchTaskExecutor makes sure that queries are run off the UI thread, and results are delivered on the UI thread.

• To construct LiveData that calls suspendable methods, you can use the liveData {} builder extension from lifecycle-livedata-ktx extensions artifact.

• There is also a LiveData-builder that constructs a LiveData<PagedList> directly from your DataSource.Factory , check out the paging-runtime-ktx artifact.

• Also, I would not recommend returning MutableLiveData like that. Mutable livedata is usually mutated in private, and returned as a non-mutable LiveData object.
