从房间查询数学结果中获取 integer

Question

I'm trying to obtain the result of a subtraction between two rows in the database. Users specify the conditions on spinners (populated with the "model" column), press a button and the query is launched.

Spinners are properly saving the position into sharedpreferences and later obtaining it.

Button function:

public int value;

//later on
TextView converter = findViewById(R.id.converter);
        AppExecutors.getInstance().diskIO().execute(() -> {
    LiveData<Integer> value = mDb.personDao().loaddifferconstants(spinA, spinB);
    converter.setText(""+value); //quick dirty method
});

Dao

@Query("SELECT t1.const - t2.const AS result FROM person t1 JOIN person t2 WHERE t1.model == :spinA AND t2.model == :spinB")
LiveData<Integer> loaddifferconstants(String spinA , String spinB);

The query does work in DBBrowser, as a direct sql query. So I guess the error lies on how the result is processed into an integer. I tried listing the result, using both livedata integer, int, list... trying to pass it as a String... Failed.

Update 1: Integer doesn't work either. Actually Integer count doesn't work either, with the Dao being

@Query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PERSON")
    int count();

Thank you

    LiveData<Integer> value = mDb.personDao().loaddifferconstants(spinA, spinB);
    converter.setText(""+value); //quick dirty method

value is a LiveData . This will cause the query to be executed asynchronously . By the next statement, that query will not have completed, and the LiveData will not have the query result.

Either:

• Remove LiveData from loaddifferconstants() and have it simply return Integer , so the query will be executed synchronously, or
• Consume the LiveData properly, by registering an observer

Since you seem to by trying to call those two lines inside your own background thread, I recommend the first approach: get rid of the LiveData . That would give you:

@Query("SELECT t1.const - t2.const AS result FROM person t1 JOIN person t2 WHERE t1.model == :spinA AND t2.model == :spinB")
Integer loaddifferconstants(String spinA , String spinB);
