KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 20

2012-05-21T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we will improve our "Add column" function.

Last time we created a function that uses the "ALTER TABLE" SQL command to create a new table. This, however, is not the perfect solution, since there are numerous disadvantages in using this method. When we use "ALTER TABLE", we cannot use the "PRIMARY KEY", "AUTOINCREMENT" or "UNIQUE" clauses - their respective items in the form become useless.

There is a way to bypass this. We can rewrite the whole table from scratch, and just add this column next to the other ones when creating the table. Of course, before rewriting the table, we'll have to store its values in a temporary backup table, then delete the existing one and only then create a new table with new columns, followed by adding all the values from the backup database. Even then we have to watch out for errors - if something goes wrong, we might lose the whole table. So we'll need to keep this backup table until the table is completed, and if there is an error - rename the backup table to the initial table name to restore all the data.

This is pretty hacky, but it's the only way to do it right. There's also no other way to delete or edit columns, so we'll be using this method again in the future. For now, let's get the "Add column" function working properly.

Find the addColumn() function. We'll now heavily edit this function.

First of all, set the emphasized property of the "Update selected" button to false. Then declare a variable that stores the name of the current table:

col_b_update.emphasized = false;
var prevTableName:String = tableTree.selectedItem.@label;

Then goes the if... statement. Here, we'll add a few lines to load the schema in order to get the string of all columns in the table along with their parameters (just like we did in columnSelect()):

if (col_name.text != "" && col_data.textInput.text != "" && (col_null.selected || col_default.text != "")) {
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
var fullSQL:String = schema.tables[0].sql;
// extract the text inside the ( )
fullSQL = fullSQL.substring( fullSQL.indexOf("(") + 1 , fullSQL.lastIndexOf(")") );

Then we create the sqlText variable, but this time we use CREATE TABLE instead of ALTER TABLE. The code following that line remains unchanged:

var sqlText:String = "CREATE TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " (";
sqlText += fullSQL + ", ";
// add the new column
sqlText += col_name.text + " " + col_data.textInput.text + " ";
if (col_key.selected) sqlText += "PRIMARY KEY ";
if (col_key.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_key.selected && col_auto.selected) sqlText += "AUTOINCREMENT ";
if (!col_null.selected) sqlText += "NOT NULL ";
if (!col_null.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_unique.selected) sqlText += "UNIQUE ";
if (col_unique.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_default.text != "") {
sqlText += "DEFAULT ";
if (isNaN(Number(col_default.text))) sqlText += '"' + col_default.text + '"';
if (!isNaN(Number(col_default.text))) sqlText += col_default.text;
}
sqlText += ");";
lastStatement(sqlText);

After that we need to create a backup table. In order to do that, we need to know what name the backup table should have. It will be created in the same database as the initial table, but we must make sure it has a unique name. We set the name to "backup" and then check if there already is a table like that. If there is, add "0" to the end of the table name and repeat.

// Create backup
var backupName:String = "backup";
while (!tableIsUnique(backupName)) {
backupName += "0";
}

I created this function outside of addColumn() to be able to check if a table is unique:

private function tableIsUnique(name:String):Boolean {
var r:Boolean = true;
for (var i:int = 0; i < dbData..tb.length(); i++) {
if (dbData..tb[i].@label == name) {
r = false;
break;
}
}
return r;
}

Now, after we know the name of the backup table, we create it using CREATE TABLE. Use the fullSQL variable's value to create the same columns as in the initial table:

var bstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
bstat.sqlConnection = connection;
bstat.text = "CREATE TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName + " (" + fullSQL + ");";
bstat.execute();

Then we copy all the existing data from the table to the backup table using an INSERT INTO SQL command:

// Copy data to backup
var cstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
cstat.sqlConnection = connection;
cstat.text = "INSERT INTO " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName + " SELECT * FROM " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
cstat.execute();

Now we can remove the initial table:

// Delete initial table
var dstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
dstat.sqlConnection = connection;
dstat.text = "DROP TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
dstat.execute();

And finally execute the statement with sqlText query - the one that creates a new table with the new columns:

// Create new table
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = sqlText;
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(newColumnSuccess, newColumnError));

In newColumnSuccess(), we insert the values from backup database into the new database, and then delete the backup.

function newColumnSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
// Insert previous values
var istat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
istat.sqlConnection = connection;
istat.text = "INSERT INTO " + selectedDatabase + "." + prevTableName + " (" + columnNames() + ") SELECT " + columnNames() + " FROM " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName;
istat.execute();
// Delete backup
var bdstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
bdstat.sqlConnection = connection;
bdstat.text = "DROP TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName;
bdstat.execute();
tableSelect();
}

You can see I used a method called columnNames() to list all the columns. It is a simple function that returns a string consisting of column names separated with a comma:

private function columnNames():String {
var r:String = "";
for (var i:int = 0; i < columnData.length; i++) {
r += columnData[i].name;
if (i < columnData.length - 1) r += ", ";
}
return r;
}

In the newColumnError() function, we warn the user of the error, and then restore the initial table by renaming the backup table to the initial name. We can rename a table using ALTER TABLE command:

function newColumnError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details + "\n\nRestoring the database using backup...", "Error");
// Restore table
var rstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
rstat.sqlConnection = connection;
rstat.text = "ALTER TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName + " RENAME TO " + prevTableName
rstat.execute();
tableSelect();
}

Phew! We're done. Full function:

private function addColumn():void {
col_b_update.emphasized = false;
var prevTableName:String = tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
if (col_name.text != "" && col_data.textInput.text != "" && (col_null.selected || col_default.text != "")) {
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
var fullSQL:String = schema.tables[0].sql;
// extract the text inside the ( )
fullSQL = fullSQL.substring( fullSQL.indexOf("(") + 1 , fullSQL.lastIndexOf(")") );
var sqlText:String = "CREATE TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " (";
sqlText += fullSQL + ", ";
// add the new column
sqlText += col_name.text + " " + col_data.textInput.text + " ";
if (col_key.selected) sqlText += "PRIMARY KEY ";
if (col_key.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_key.selected && col_auto.selected) sqlText += "AUTOINCREMENT ";
if (!col_null.selected) sqlText += "NOT NULL ";
if (!col_null.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_unique.selected) sqlText += "UNIQUE ";
if (col_unique.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_default.text != "") {
sqlText += "DEFAULT ";
if (isNaN(Number(col_default.text))) sqlText += '"' + col_default.text + '"';
if (!isNaN(Number(col_default.text))) sqlText += col_default.text;
}
sqlText += ");";
lastStatement(sqlText);

// Create backup
var backupName:String = "backup";
while (!tableIsUnique(backupName)) {
backupName += "0";
}
var bstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
bstat.sqlConnection = connection;
bstat.text = "CREATE TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName + " (" + fullSQL + ");";
bstat.execute();

// Copy data to backup
var cstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
cstat.sqlConnection = connection;
cstat.text = "INSERT INTO " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName + " SELECT * FROM " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
cstat.execute();

// Delete initial table
var dstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
dstat.sqlConnection = connection;
dstat.text = "DROP TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
dstat.execute();

// Create new table
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = sqlText;
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(newColumnSuccess, newColumnError));
}else {
Alert.show("Please fill all the required fields!", "Error");
}
function newColumnSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
// Insert previous values
var istat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
istat.sqlConnection = connection;
istat.text = "INSERT INTO " + selectedDatabase + "." + prevTableName + " (" + columnNames() + ") SELECT " + columnNames() + " FROM " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName;
istat.execute();
// Delete backup
var bdstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
bdstat.sqlConnection = connection;
bdstat.text = "DROP TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName;
bdstat.execute();
tableSelect();
}
function newColumnError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details + "\n\nRestoring the database using backup...", "Error");
// Restore table
var rstat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
rstat.sqlConnection = connection;
rstat.text = "ALTER TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + backupName + " RENAME TO " + prevTableName
rstat.execute();
tableSelect();
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 19

2012-05-20T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we'll add the ability to add new columns to a table.

First of all, we'll go to the Form container and do a few changes there.

Set the Name and Data type fields required by setting their "required" property to true. Set Default Value field's required property bound to the opposite of col_null's selected property. This will make the default field required only if the user has disallowed NULL values.

<mx:Form enabled="{isTableSelected}">
<mx:FormItem label="Name" required="true">
<s:TextInput id="col_name" change="formChange();"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Data type" required="true">
<s:ComboBox id="col_data" dataProvider="{dataTypes}" change="formChange();"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Primary Key">
<s:CheckBox id="col_key" change="formChange();" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="AutoIncrement">
<s:CheckBox id="col_auto" change="formChange();" enabled="{col_key.selected}" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Unique">
<s:CheckBox id="col_unique" change="formChange();" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Allow Null">
<s:CheckBox id="col_null" change="formChange();" selected="true" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Default Value" required="{!col_null.selected}">
<s:TextArea id="col_default" change="formChange();"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="On Conflict">
<mx:ComboBox id="col_conflict" dataProvider="{conflictTypes}" editable="false" change="formChange();"/>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>

Now find the "Add column" Button. Set its click event handler to addColumn():

<s:Button id="col_b_add" label="Add column" enabled="{isTableSelected}" click="addColumn();" />

In the addColumn() function add a conditional that checks if col_name's text field is not blank, col_data's textInput is not blank and if col_null is selected or col_default is not blank. We're basically checking if all the required fields are filled.

if (col_name.text != "" && col_data.textInput.text != "" && (col_null.selected || col_default.text!="")) {

}else {
Alert.show("Please fill all the required fields!", "Error");
}

In the conditional, create a variable sqlText. We'll use it to compose an SQL query needed to add a column. To add a column, we can use the ALTER TABLE command:

var sqlText:String = "ALTER TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " ADD COLUMN ";

Add the name of the new column and its data type:

sqlText += col_name.text + " " + col_data.textInput.text + " ";

Check if col_key is selected. Add PRIMARY KEY if so. Check if col_key is selected and something is selected in the ON CONFLICT ComboBox, add ON CONFLICT with the needed response to the query:

if (col_key.selected) sqlText += "PRIMARY KEY ";
if (col_key.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";

Add AUTOINCREMENT if needed:

if (col_auto.selected) sqlText += "AUTOINCREMENT ";

Handle col_null and col_unique similarly:

if (!col_null.selected) sqlText += "NOT NULL ";
if (!col_null.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_unique.selected) sqlText += "UNIQUE ";
if (col_unique.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";

Now we'll check if the default field is not empty. If it isn't, check if the text in the field is a number. If it's a number, don't use quotes when inputting the values.

if (col_default.text != "") {
sqlText += "DEFAULT ";
if (isNaN(Number(col_default.text))) sqlText += '"' + col_default.text + '"';
if (!isNaN(Number(col_default.text))) sqlText += col_default.text;
}

Use lastStatement() function to add the query to the history. Then create an SQLStatement object with this query as text, execute it and remember to add a Responder object.

lastStatement(sqlText);
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = sqlText;
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(newColumnSuccess, newColumnError));

Handle success and errors like this:

function newColumnSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
tableSelect();
}
function newColumnError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details, "Error")
}

Full function:

private function addColumn():void {
if (col_name.text != "" && col_data.textInput.text != "" && (col_null.selected || col_default.text!="")) {
var sqlText:String = "ALTER TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " ADD COLUMN ";
sqlText += col_name.text + " " + col_data.textInput.text + " ";
if (col_key.selected) sqlText += "PRIMARY KEY ";
if (col_key.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_auto.selected) sqlText += "AUTOINCREMENT ";
if (!col_null.selected) sqlText += "NOT NULL ";
if (!col_null.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_unique.selected) sqlText += "UNIQUE ";
if (col_unique.selected && col_conflict.selectedIndex > 0) sqlText += "ON CONFLICT " + col_conflict.selectedLabel + " ";
if (col_default.text != "") {
sqlText += "DEFAULT ";
if (isNaN(Number(col_default.text))) sqlText += '"' + col_default.text + '"';
if (!isNaN(Number(col_default.text))) sqlText += col_default.text;
}
lastStatement(sqlText);
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = sqlText;
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(newColumnSuccess, newColumnError));
}else {
Alert.show("Please fill all the required fields!", "Error");
}
function newColumnSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
tableSelect();
}
function newColumnError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details, "Error")
}
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 18

2012-05-19T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we will add a logical connection between the components we currently have on the "Edit columns" page.

The connections I'm talking about are supposed to enable, disable and highlight certain components, based on the values of others.

Firstly, find the 3 buttons - "Add column", "Update selected" and "Delete selected". Set their ids as shown below, set the first button's enabled property bound to isTableSelected and also set the last two buttons' enabled properties bound to columnList's length of selected items. If there are any items selected - make those buttons enabled, disable them otherwise.

<s:HGroup>
<s:Button id="col_b_add" label="Add column" enabled="{isTableSelected}" />
<s:Button id="col_b_update" label="Update selected" enabled="{columnList.selectedItems.length > 0}" />
<s:Button id="col_b_delete" label="Delete selected" enabled="{columnList.selectedItems.length > 0}" />
</s:HGroup>

Set the "change" event handlers of all the components inside the form to formChange(). Set the AutoIncrement CheckBox's enabled property bound to col_key's selected value.

<mx:Form enabled="{isTableSelected}">
<mx:FormItem label="Name">
<s:TextInput id="col_name" change="formChange();"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Data type">
<s:ComboBox id="col_data" dataProvider="{dataTypes}" change="formChange();"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Primary Key">
<s:CheckBox id="col_key" change="formChange();" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="AutoIncrement">
<s:CheckBox id="col_auto" change="formChange();" enabled="{col_key.selected}" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Unique">
<s:CheckBox id="col_unique" change="formChange();" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Allow Null">
<s:CheckBox id="col_null" change="formChange();" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Default Value">
<s:TextArea id="col_default" change="formChange();"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="On Conflict">
<mx:ComboBox id="col_conflict" dataProvider="{conflictTypes}" editable="false" change="formChange();"/>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>

In the formChange() function, we'll do two things. Firstly, we'll set the "ON CONFLICT" ComboBox enabled or disabled, based on certain values. Then we'll check if an item is currently selected in the columnList, and if so - emphasize the "Update selected" button. We'll have all the "ON CONFLICT" related code written in a function called checkConflict(), so just call that for now:

private function formChange():void {
checkConflict();
if (columnList.selectedItems.length > 0) {
col_b_update.emphasized = true;
}
}

The checkConflict() function checks if any of the three conditionals are true: if the current column is a primary key one, if null is not allowed, and if the column is unique. If any of these are true, enable the conflict ComboBox, otherwise - disable. The conditions are such in SQLite, the ON CONFLICT clause may only be used in situations like the ones I stated.

private function checkConflict():void {
if (col_key.selected || !col_null.selected || col_unique.selected) {
col_conflict.enabled = true;
}else {
col_conflict.enabled = false;
}
}

Go to columnSelect() and in the end of the function call checkConflict() and unemphasize "Update selected" button:

private function columnSelect():void {
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
var fullSQL:String = schema.tables[0].sql;
// extract the text inside the ( )
fullSQL = fullSQL.substring( fullSQL.indexOf("(") + 1 , fullSQL.lastIndexOf(")") );
// split all columns into an array
var columns:Array = fullSQL.split(",");
// get the currently selected column
var currentColumn:String = columns[columnList.selectedIndex];
// delete the name of the column from this text
var currentParameters:String = currentColumn.substr(currentColumn.indexOf(columnList.selectedItem.name) + columnList.selectedItem.name.length + 1);
// find DEFAULT and extract it
var defaultMatch:String = "";
var defaultPattern:RegExp = /((DEFAULT)\s((".+")|([0-9]+)))/i;
if (currentParameters.match(defaultPattern)) {
defaultMatch = currentParameters.match(defaultPattern)[0];
// delete it from currentParameters
currentParameters = currentParameters.replace(defaultMatch, "");
// delete "DEFAULT" from the match
defaultMatch = defaultMatch.substr(8);
// if any quotes are found, remove the first and last symbols
if (defaultMatch.indexOf('"') != -1) {
defaultMatch = defaultMatch.substring(1, defaultMatch.length - 1);
}
}
// find ON CONFLICT and extract it
var conflictMatch:String = "";
var conflictPattern:RegExp = /((ON CONFLICT)\s(ABORT|FAIL|IGNORE|ROLLBACK|REPLACE))/i;
if (currentParameters.match(conflictPattern)) {
conflictMatch = currentParameters.match(conflictPattern)[0];
// delete it from currentParameters
currentParameters = currentParameters.replace(conflictMatch, "");
// delete "ON CONFLICT" from the match
conflictMatch = conflictMatch.substr(12);
}
// apply values
col_name.text = columnList.selectedItem.name;
col_key.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("PRIMARY KEY") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_auto.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("AUTOINCREMENT") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_unique.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf("UNIQUE") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_null.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("NOT NULL") != -1)?(false):(true);
col_default.text = defaultMatch;
col_conflict.selectedIndex = 0;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "ABORT") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 1;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "FAIL") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 2;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "IGNORE") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 3;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "ROLLBACK") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 4;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "REPLACE") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 5;

// read data type
col_data.textInput.text = schema.tables[0].columns[columnList.selectedIndex].dataType;

// enable or disable ON CONFLICT
checkConflict();
// unhighlight "Update selected"
col_b_update.emphasized = false;
}

Go to tableSelect() and in the beginning of the function add an if statement, that checks if col_name object exists (doesn't equal null). If so, reset the values of all form items:

private function tableSelect():void {
saveTableButton.emphasized = false;
columnData = new ArrayCollection([]);
if(col_name!=null){
col_name.text = "";
col_data.selectedIndex = 0;
col_key.selected = false;
col_auto.selected = false;
col_unique.selected = false;
col_null.selected = false;
col_default.text = "";
col_conflict.selectedIndex = 0;
}
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@isBranch) {
isTableSelected = false;
var dataname:String;
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@numid == 1) dataname = "main";
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@numid > 1) dataname = "db" + tableTree.selectedItem.@numid;
selectedDatabase = dataname;
}
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
isTableSelected = true;
selectedDatabase = tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName;
tableData = new ArrayCollection([]);
var newColumns:Array = [checkboxColumn];
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
for (var i:int = 0; i < schema.tables[0].columns.length; i++) {
columnData.addItem({name:schema.tables[0].columns[i].name});
var aColumn:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn();
aColumn.headerText = schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
aColumn.dataField = "db_" + schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
if (schema.tables[0].columns[i].autoIncrement) aColumn.editable = false;
if (schema.tables[0].columns[i].primaryKey) tableTree.selectedItem.@primaryKeyColumn = schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
newColumns.push(aColumn);
}
tableGrid.columns = newColumns;
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT * FROM " + tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
lastStatement(stat.text);
stat.execute(-1, new Responder(tableSuccess, tableError));
}
function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {
for (var item:Object in evt.data) {
var obj:Object = new Object();
for (var value:Object in evt.data[item]) {
obj["db_"+value] = evt.data[item][value];
}
tableData.addItem(obj);
}
}
}
function tableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("Unable to read table data.", "Error");
}
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 17

2012-05-18T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we will add the ability to view details of each column in the table.

When the user selects a column, its details will be automatically displayed in the form next to the list. We've created this form in the last tutorial, but we haven't given ids to the objects. Let's do that right now. Set ids of each object inside the FormItem containers, and also set the dataProviders of the DataType and OnConflict ComboBoxes to dataTypes and conflictTypes. Bind the enabled property of the Form container to isTableSelected:

<mx:Form enabled="{isTableSelected}">
<mx:FormItem label="Name">
<s:TextInput id="col_name"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Data type">
<s:ComboBox id="col_data" dataProvider="{dataTypes}"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Primary Key">
<s:CheckBox id="col_key"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="AutoIncrement">
<s:CheckBox id="col_auto"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Unique">
<s:CheckBox id="col_unique"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Allow Null">
<s:CheckBox id="col_null"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Default Value">
<s:TextArea id="col_default"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="On Conflict">
<mx:ComboBox id="col_conflict" dataProvider="{conflictTypes}" editable="false" />
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>

Let's declare these ArrayCollections now. The conflictTypes one is either blank ("---"), or one of the 5 possible conflict types in SQLite:

<mx:ArrayCollection id="conflictTypes">
<fx:String>---</fx:String>
<fx:String>ABORT</fx:String>
<fx:String>FAIL</fx:String>
<fx:String>IGNORE</fx:String>
<fx:String>ROLLBACK</fx:String>
<fx:String>REPLACE</fx:String>
</mx:ArrayCollection>

Set items of dataTypes to 5 of the most used ones, however, the user will not be limited to just these data types. They will be able to enter their own value.

<mx:ArrayCollection id="dataTypes">
<fx:String>NONE</fx:String>
<fx:String>INTEGER</fx:String>
<fx:String>TEXT</fx:String>
<fx:String>REAL</fx:String>
<fx:String>NUMERIC</fx:String>
</mx:ArrayCollection>

Now find the List component and set its change event handler to columnSelect().

<mx:List id="columnList" width="200" height="100%" dataProvider="{columnData}" labelField="name" change="columnSelect();" />

This function is where all the action happens.

First of all, we load the table schema to read the table's "sql" property, since it is the query that we'll be parsing and extracting data from.

connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
var fullSQL:String = schema.tables[0].sql;

We need to get rid of the unneeded text in the query and just leave columns separated by commas.

// extract the text inside the ( )
fullSQL = fullSQL.substring( fullSQL.indexOf("(") + 1 , fullSQL.lastIndexOf(")") );
// split all columns into an array
var columns:Array = fullSQL.split(",");

Get the current data related to the currentColumn using the selectedIndex of columnList:

// get the currently selected column
var currentColumn:String = columns[columnList.selectedIndex];

Delete the name of the column from this text, because it will only get in our way:

// delete the name of the column from this text
var currentParameters:String = currentColumn.substr(currentColumn.indexOf(columnList.selectedItem.name) + columnList.selectedItem.name.length + 1);

Now, we will find and extract the DEFAULT value from the query. Create a regular expression pattern that matches "DEFAULT <value>". Keep in mind that the value can be a number (for example, 3) or a text piece in quotes (for example, "hello"). Find the match using regex, delete the "DEFAULT <value>" piece from currentParameters and then get rid of the word "DEFAULT" and the space after it from the match. If there are any quotes in the match, get rid of the first and last quotes:

// find DEFAULT and extract it
var defaultMatch:String = "";
var defaultPattern:RegExp = /((DEFAULT)\s((".+")|([0-9]+)))/i;
if (currentParameters.match(defaultPattern)) {
defaultMatch = currentParameters.match(defaultPattern)[0];
// delete it from currentParameters
currentParameters = currentParameters.replace(defaultMatch, "");
// delete "DEFAULT" from the match
defaultMatch = defaultMatch.substr(8);
// if any quotes are found, remove the first and last symbols
if (defaultMatch.indexOf('"') != -1) {
defaultMatch = defaultMatch.substring(1, defaultMatch.length - 1);
}
}

Now we will look for an ON CONFLICT match. Create a regular expression also, extract it, delete from currentParameters and get rid of "ON CONFLICT" with a space character from the match:

// find ON CONFLICT and extract it
var conflictMatch:String = "";
var conflictPattern:RegExp = /((ON CONFLICT)\s(ABORT|FAIL|IGNORE|ROLLBACK|REPLACE))/i;
if (currentParameters.match(conflictPattern)) {
conflictMatch = currentParameters.match(conflictPattern)[0];
// delete it from currentParameters
currentParameters = currentParameters.replace(conflictMatch, "");
// delete "ON CONFLICT" from the match
conflictMatch = conflictMatch.substr(12);
}

Now we apply the values we've extracted to the form. We can check primary key, autoincrement, unique and not null values by simply using an indexOf() method on currentParameters and then setting the selected properties of the respective CheckBoxes to true or false, depending on the results. Set default text to defaultMatch value, and then do a few if... statements to set the selectedIndex of the conflict ComboBox:

// apply values
col_name.text = columnList.selectedItem.name;
col_key.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("PRIMARY KEY") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_auto.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("AUTOINCREMENT") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_unique.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf("UNIQUE") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_null.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("NOT NULL") != -1)?(false):(true);
col_default.text = defaultMatch;
col_conflict.selectedIndex = 0;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "ABORT") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 1;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "FAIL") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 2;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "IGNORE") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 3;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "ROLLBACK") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 4;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "REPLACE") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 5;

We can read the data type without having to extract it from the SQL - just by reading the schema:

// read data type
col_data.textInput.text = schema.tables[0].columns[columnList.selectedIndex].dataType;

Full function:

private function columnSelect():void {
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
var fullSQL:String = schema.tables[0].sql;
// extract the text inside the ( )
fullSQL = fullSQL.substring( fullSQL.indexOf("(") + 1 , fullSQL.lastIndexOf(")") );
// split all columns into an array
var columns:Array = fullSQL.split(",");
// get the currently selected column
var currentColumn:String = columns[columnList.selectedIndex];
// delete the name of the column from this text
var currentParameters:String = currentColumn.substr(currentColumn.indexOf(columnList.selectedItem.name) + columnList.selectedItem.name.length + 1);
// find DEFAULT and extract it
var defaultMatch:String = "";
var defaultPattern:RegExp = /((DEFAULT)\s((".+")|([0-9]+)))/i;
if (currentParameters.match(defaultPattern)) {
defaultMatch = currentParameters.match(defaultPattern)[0];
// delete it from currentParameters
currentParameters = currentParameters.replace(defaultMatch, "");
// delete "DEFAULT" from the match
defaultMatch = defaultMatch.substr(8);
// if any quotes are found, remove the first and last symbols
if (defaultMatch.indexOf('"') != -1) {
defaultMatch = defaultMatch.substring(1, defaultMatch.length - 1);
}
}
// find ON CONFLICT and extract it
var conflictMatch:String = "";
var conflictPattern:RegExp = /((ON CONFLICT)\s(ABORT|FAIL|IGNORE|ROLLBACK|REPLACE))/i;
if (currentParameters.match(conflictPattern)) {
conflictMatch = currentParameters.match(conflictPattern)[0];
// delete it from currentParameters
currentParameters = currentParameters.replace(conflictMatch, "");
// delete "ON CONFLICT" from the match
conflictMatch = conflictMatch.substr(12);
}
// apply values
col_name.text = columnList.selectedItem.name;
col_key.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("PRIMARY KEY") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_auto.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("AUTOINCREMENT") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_unique.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf("UNIQUE") != -1)?(true):(false);
col_null.selected = (currentParameters.toUpperCase().indexOf("NOT NULL") != -1)?(false):(true);
col_default.text = defaultMatch;
col_conflict.selectedIndex = 0;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "ABORT") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 1;
if (conflictMatch.toUpperCase() == "FAIL") col_conflict.selectedIndex = 2;

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 16

2012-05-17T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we'll start creating the "Edit columns" tab.

Let's find the "Edit columns" NavigatorContent container in our code and start adding some content.

First of all we'll add a HGroup, which is going to contain a List object and a VGroup container. Give the List an id of columnList, set its dataProvider bound to columnData, labelField to "name".

<s:NavigatorContent label="Edit columns">
<s:HGroup width="100%" height="100%" >
<mx:List id="columnList" width="200" height="100%" dataProvider="{columnData}" labelField="name" />
<s:VGroup height="100%" paddingTop="10">

</s:VGroup>
</s:HGroup>
</s:NavigatorContent>

The VGroup container will contain an HGroup object with 3 Buttons - "Add column", "Update selected" and "Delete selected", as well as a Form object, which will conist of 8 FormItems.

The FormItems are labeled "Name", "Data type", "Primary Key", "Auto Increment", "Unique", "Allow Null", "Default Value" and "On Conflict". Set the content of these items as shown below:

<s:NavigatorContent label="Edit columns">
<s:HGroup width="100%" height="100%" >
<mx:List id="columnList" width="200" height="100%" dataProvider="{columnData}" labelField="name" />
<s:VGroup height="100%" paddingTop="10">
<s:HGroup>
<s:Button label="Add column" />
<s:Button label="Update selected" />
<s:Button label="Delete selected" />
</s:HGroup>
<mx:Form>
<mx:FormItem label="Name">
<s:TextInput />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Data type">
<s:ComboBox />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Primary Key">
<s:CheckBox/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Auto Increment">
<s:CheckBox/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Unique">
<s:CheckBox/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Allow Null">
<s:CheckBox/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Default Value">
<s:TextArea/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="On Conflict">
<s:ComboBox />
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</s:VGroup>
</s:HGroup>
</s:NavigatorContent>

Now go to Declarations tags and declare this ArrayCollection object with an id columnData:

<mx:ArrayCollection id="columnData">
</mx:ArrayCollection>

Now go to the tableSelect() function. Here, we will actually set values to our columnData ArrayCollection. In the beginning of the function, set columnData to a blank ArrayCollection. Then in the second if... statement, find the for... loop which adds AdvancedDataGridColumns to a temporary array. Add a line that adds a new item to columnData with the name of the column in it.

private function tableSelect():void {
saveTableButton.emphasized = false;
columnData = new ArrayCollection([]);
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@isBranch) {
isTableSelected = false;
var dataname:String;
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@numid == 1) dataname = "main";
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@numid > 1) dataname = "db" + tableTree.selectedItem.@numid;
selectedDatabase = dataname;
}
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
isTableSelected = true;
selectedDatabase = tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName;
tableData = new ArrayCollection([]);
var newColumns:Array = [checkboxColumn];
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
for (var i:int = 0; i < schema.tables[0].columns.length; i++) {
columnData.addItem({name:schema.tables[0].columns[i].name});
var aColumn:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn();
aColumn.headerText = schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
aColumn.dataField = "db_" + schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
if (schema.tables[0].columns[i].autoIncrement) aColumn.editable = false;
if (schema.tables[0].columns[i].primaryKey) tableTree.selectedItem.@primaryKeyColumn = schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
newColumns.push(aColumn);
}
tableGrid.columns = newColumns;
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT * FROM " + tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
lastStatement(stat.text);
stat.execute(-1, new Responder(tableSuccess, tableError));
}
function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {
for (var item:Object in evt.data) {
var obj:Object = new Object();
for (var value:Object in evt.data[item]) {
obj["db_"+value] = evt.data[item][value];
}
tableData.addItem(obj);
}
}
}
function tableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("Unable to read table data.", "Error");
}
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 15

2012-05-16T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we'll add the ability to add a new record to a table.

Find the HBox containing the "Delete selected" and "Save changes" buttons and add a new button next to them, called "Add a record". Set its click event handler to "newRecord()" and enabled property boudn to isTableSelected.

<mx:HBox width="100%" height="30" paddingLeft="8" paddingTop="6">
<mx:CheckBox label="Select all" change="selectAllChange(event);" />
<s:Button label="Delete selected" enabled="{isTableSelected}" click="deleteSelected();" />
<s:Button id="saveTableButton" label="Save changes" click="saveTable();" enabled="{isTableSelected}"/>
<s:Button id="newRecordButton" label="Add a record" click="newRecord();" enabled="{isTableSelected}"/>
</mx:HBox>

Now we'll create the newRecord() function.

All we really need to do is insert a new row into the SQL using an SQLStatement and then reload the data to update the array and the data grid.

The trick is that when we INSERT a record, we have to set a value under at least one column, or else we'll get an error. This can be done by adding "DEFAULT VALUES" to the SQL query instead of specifying values. Add a Responder object for the statement.

var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "INSERT INTO " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " DEFAULT VALUES;";
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(newSuccess, newError));

On success, update the data. On error, display the error:

function newSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
tableSelect();
tableGrid.invalidateDisplayList();
tableGrid.invalidateList();
}
function newError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details, "Error");
}

Full function:

private function newRecord():void {
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "INSERT INTO " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " DEFAULT VALUES;";
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(newSuccess, newError));

function newSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
tableSelect();
tableGrid.invalidateDisplayList();
tableGrid.invalidateList();
}
function newError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details, "Error");
}
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 14

2012-05-15T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we'll add the ability to delete rows from a table.

The mechanic is simple - the user selects the rows he wants to remove using the CheckBoxes, then clicks the "Delete selected" button and all the selected rows are deleted from the database.

Firstly find the "Delete selected" Button object and bind its enabled property to isTableSelected. Give it a click event handler deleteSelected():

<s:Button label="Delete selected" enabled="{isTableSelected}" click="deleteSelected();" />

Inside the function, the first thing we do is declare a variable keyColumnName and apply it the value of tableTree.selectedItem's primaryKeyColumn attribute (the same way we did it in saveTable()):

var keyColumnName:String = tableTree.selectedItem.@primaryKeyColumn;

After that, we loop through all tableData rows and check if their "sel" value is true. If it is, we create an SQLStatement object and construct a SQL query that deletes a row using the "DELETE" command and a "WHERE" conditional, which checks if the item's primary key column's value equals the one from the tableData array.

We can use keyColumnName as the column name in the SQL ("WHERE " + keyColumnName), however, when we refer to the column name in the tableData array, we need to remember to put "db_" in front of the name (read previous tutorial to find out why!):

for (var i:int = 0; i < tableData.length; i++) {
if (tableData[i].sel) {
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "DELETE FROM " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " WHERE " + keyColumnName + "=" + tableData[i]["db_" + keyColumnName];
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(deleteSuccess, deleteError));
}
}

After this, call tableSelect() to refresh data, and also call tableGrid's invalidateDisplayList() and invalidateList() methods to refresh the data grid.

tableSelect();
tableGrid.invalidateDisplayList();
tableGrid.invalidateList();

You can see that we added a Responder to the SQLStatement execution with success and error responders. Create these functions:

function deleteSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
}
function deleteError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details, "Error");
}

Full deleteSelected() function:

private function deleteSelected():void {
var keyColumnName:String = tableTree.selectedItem.@primaryKeyColumn;
for (var i:int = 0; i < tableData.length; i++) {
if (tableData[i].sel) {
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "DELETE FROM " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " WHERE " + keyColumnName + "=" + tableData[i]["db_" + keyColumnName];
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(deleteSuccess, deleteError));
}
}
tableSelect();
tableGrid.invalidateDisplayList();
tableGrid.invalidateList();

function deleteSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
}
function deleteError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details, "Error");
}
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 13

2012-05-14T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we'll fix some problems with the current table data saving and loading code.

There are currently two problems, and they are both related to the CheckBox column. The first problem is that if there are any items selected when the user presses the "Save changes" button, the selections are reset and some errors may be thrown out. The second problem is that if the table already has a column named "sel", the program misbehaves, because the "sel" property in the tableData array is meant to be associated with the selection CheckBox of that row.

To fix the second problem, we'll need to put "db_" in front of each property in the tableData array that is taken from the SQL database. So this way, even if the table has a column "sel", it will be stored in the property "db_sel" of the array and will not conflict with the existing "sel" property that we use for CheckBoxes.

Go to tableSelect() and find the loop that creates new AdvancedDataGridColumns. There, manually set the column's headerText to the column name from SQL, and the column's dataField to "db_" + the name from the SQL. After that, find the internal function of tableSelect(), which is called tableSuccess(). Here, put "db_" in front of the "value" in the line where attributes of the "obj" Object are set.

private function tableSelect():void {
saveTableButton.emphasized = false;
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@isBranch) {
isTableSelected = false;
var dataname:String;
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@numid == 1) dataname = "main";
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@numid > 1) dataname = "db" + tableTree.selectedItem.@numid;
selectedDatabase = dataname;
}
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
isTableSelected = true;
selectedDatabase = tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName;
tableData = new ArrayCollection([]);
var newColumns:Array = [checkboxColumn];
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
for (var i:int = 0; i < schema.tables[0].columns.length; i++) {
var aColumn:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn();
aColumn.headerText = schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
aColumn.dataField = "db_" + schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
if (schema.tables[0].columns[i].autoIncrement) aColumn.editable = false;
if (schema.tables[0].columns[i].primaryKey) tableTree.selectedItem.@primaryKeyColumn = schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
newColumns.push(aColumn);
}
tableGrid.columns = newColumns;
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT * FROM " + tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
lastStatement(stat.text);
stat.execute(-1, new Responder(tableSuccess, tableError));
}
function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {
for (var item:Object in evt.data) {
var obj:Object = new Object();
for (var value:Object in evt.data[item]) {
obj["db_"+value] = evt.data[item][value];
}
tableData.addItem(obj);
}
}
}
function tableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("Unable to read table data.", "Error");
}
}

Now go to the saveTable() function. Here, in the beginning of the function, declare a temporary Array that will store the selection values. Loop through all tableData items to store their values in this temporary Array. We're doing this so that after reloading the data we can reload the selections too.

Now, go below and look for the line that declares an if statement, which checks if an attribute in an element of tableData doesn't equal mx_internal_uid or keyColumnName. Add another statement here, check if attribute does not equal "sel". Inside of the loop itself, you'll have to use substr(3) on the "attribute" variable 3 times to get rid of the "db_" in front of it. Do this in places where you are refering to the parameter, or the column in the SQL:

if (attribute != "mx_internal_uid" && attribute!=keyColumnName && attribute!="sel") {
// add value as parameter
stat.parameters["@" + attribute.substr(3)] = tableData[i][attribute];
sqlStat += " " + attribute.substr(3) + "=@" + attribute.substr(3) + ",";
}

Below the loop, find the line that adds the "WHERE" conditional to the sqlStat variable. Here, put "db_" in front of keyColumnName:

sqlStat += " WHERE " + keyColumnName + "=" + tableData[i]["db_"+keyColumnName];

In the very end of the function, create a loop that reloads and keeps the selection values in the array. After that, call invalidateDisplayList() and invalidateList() to refresh the data grid:

for (var t:int = 0; t < tableData.length; t++) {
if (tempSel[t]) tableData[t].sel=true;
}
tableGrid.invalidateDisplayList();
tableGrid.invalidateList();

Full function code:

private function saveTable():void {
var keyColumnName:String = tableTree.selectedItem.@primaryKeyColumn;
// clear all "sel" and store them in a temp array
var tempSel:Array = [];
for (var s:int = 0; s < tableData.length; s++) {
if (tableData[s].sel) {
tempSel.push(true);
tableData[s].sel = false;
}else
if (!tableData[s].sel) {
tempSel.push(false);
}
}
// update each row
for (var i:int = 0; i < tableData.length; i++) {
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
var sqlStat:String = "UPDATE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " SET";
// add each attribute as parameter
for (var attribute:String in tableData[i]) {
// if column is not our CheckBox column or the key column
if (attribute != "mx_internal_uid" && attribute!=keyColumnName && attribute!="sel") {
// add value as parameter
stat.parameters["@" + attribute.substr(3)] = tableData[i][attribute];
sqlStat += " " + attribute.substr(3) + "=@" + attribute.substr(3) + ",";
}
}
// remove the last comma
sqlStat = sqlStat.substr(0, sqlStat.length - 1);
sqlStat += " WHERE " + keyColumnName + "=" + tableData[i]["db_"+keyColumnName];
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = sqlStat;
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(saveSuccess, saveError));
}

function saveSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
}

function saveError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details, "Error");
}

tableSelect();
for (var t:int = 0; t < tableData.length; t++) {
if (tempSel[t]) tableData[t].sel=true;
}
tableGrid.invalidateDisplayList();
tableGrid.invalidateList();
}

Problems are fixed. Full code:

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 12

2012-05-13T10:00:00.000+03:00

Today we'll add the ability to change data in tables.

First of all, find the first NavigatorContent container in the TabNavigator object. There, add a new Button labeled "Save changes" next to the "Delete selected" button. Set this button's id to saveTableButton. Set its click event handelr to saveTable(), and enabled property bound to isTableSelected.

In the AdvancedDataGrid add an event listener for the itemEditBeing event, make the handler set saveTableButton's emphasized property to true. This will highlight the button when some data is edited in the table, telling the user that the changes have to be saved.

<s:NavigatorContent label="Table contents">
<s:VGroup width="100%" height="100%" gap="0">
<mx:HBox width="100%" height="30" paddingLeft="8" paddingTop="6">
<mx:CheckBox label="Select all" change="selectAllChange(event);" />
<s:Button label="Delete selected"/>
<s:Button id="saveTableButton" label="Save changes" click="saveTable();" enabled="{isTableSelected}"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="tableGrid" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{tableData}" editable="true" itemEditBegin="saveTableButton.emphasized=true;">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="" headerText="Data" editable="false" />
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
</s:VGroup>
</s:NavigatorContent>

Now go to the Tree object. Set its itemClick event handler to tableSelect() instead of tableSelect(event). We are making this function without the parameter:

<mx:Tree id="tableTree" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{dbData}" showRoot="false" labelField="@label" itemClick="tableSelect();"/>

We're going to do more changes to tableSelect() than just remove the parameter. Firstly, we'll set saveTableButton's emphasized property to false. Also, in the loop that adds AdvancedDataGridColumns to the newColumns array, add 2 if statements. The first one checks if the SQLColumnSchema object has autoIncrement property set to true. If it does, set editable property of this column to false. The second if statement checks if the column has its primaryKey property set to true. If it does, then set primaryKeyColumn attribute of the current table's XML node to the name of the column with primary key. Get rid of the parameter in the function, use tableTree instead of evt.currentTarget:

private function tableSelect():void {
saveTableButton.emphasized = false;
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@isBranch) {
isTableSelected = false;
var dataname:String;
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@numid == 1) dataname = "main";
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@numid > 1) dataname = "db" + tableTree.selectedItem.@numid;
selectedDatabase = dataname;
}
if (tableTree.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
isTableSelected = true;
selectedDatabase = tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName;
tableData = new ArrayCollection([]);
var newColumns:Array = [checkboxColumn];
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, tableTree.selectedItem.@label, tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
for (var i:int = 0; i < schema.tables[0].columns.length; i++) {
var aColumn:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn(schema.tables[0].columns[i].name);
if (schema.tables[0].columns[i].autoIncrement) aColumn.editable = false;
if (schema.tables[0].columns[i].primaryKey) tableTree.selectedItem.@primaryKeyColumn = schema.tables[0].columns[i].name;
newColumns.push(aColumn);
}
tableGrid.columns = newColumns;
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT * FROM " + tableTree.selectedItem.@databaseName + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
lastStatement(stat.text);
stat.execute(-1, new Responder(tableSuccess, tableError));
}
function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {
for (var item:Object in evt.data) {
var obj:Object = new Object();
for (var value:Object in evt.data[item]) {
obj[value] = evt.data[item][value];
}
tableData.addItem(obj);
}
}
}
function tableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("Unable to read table data.", "Error");
}
}

Now we can create this saveTable() function. It is pretty complex, so I commented some sections.

Firstly we create a variable keyColumnName to sture the primaryKeyColumn attribute value of the currently selected table. Then we loop through all the rows in the table. We create an SQLStatement object for each of it, as well as a sqlStat String variable that we'll use to compose a statement.

Inside this loop, we add another loop that goes through all the attributes of the current row object in the ArrayCollection and adds items to the parameters array of our SQLStatement object. This is needed to prevent any errors that might happen if the values that we're going to pass in the SQL query are not properly isolated. So, we set attributes with the same names to the parameters object along with their values, and we also add "attribute=@attribute," (where "attribute" is the anme of the attribute) to the sqlStat text variable.

After this loop, we delete the last letter of the sqlStat String to remove the last unneeded comma, and then we add a "WHERE" conditional to the SQL query and look for items with the same id. This way, we edit the data of the needed item by finding it by its unique id.

Then we just execute the statement and in case there were any errors caught, we display them.

private function saveTable():void {
var keyColumnName:String = tableTree.selectedItem.@primaryKeyColumn;
// update each row
for (var i:int = 0; i < tableData.length; i++) {
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
var sqlStat:String = "UPDATE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label + " SET";
// add each attribute as parameter
for (var attribute:String in tableData[i]) {
// if column is not our CheckBox column or the key column
if (attribute != "mx_internal_uid" && attribute!= keyColumnName) {
// add value as parameter
stat.parameters["@" + attribute] = tableData[i][attribute];
sqlStat += " " + attribute + "=@" + attribute + ",";
}
}
// remove the last comma
sqlStat = sqlStat.substr(0, sqlStat.length - 1);
sqlStat += " WHERE " + keyColumnName + "=" + tableData[i][keyColumnName];
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = sqlStat;
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(saveSuccess, saveError));
}

function saveSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
}

function saveError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR: " + evt.details, "Error");
}

tableSelect();
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 11

2012-05-12T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we'll sort out the native menu by assigning some of the existing features to the menu items. We'll also add an ability to save a copy of a database (backup).

Firstly, go to the windowMenu XML object and edit its contents by adding a "Save a copy" menu item to the existing two under the "Database" menu. Set the subchildren of the "Table" menu to two items - "Add table" and "Drop table". Set their shortcuts, enabled and id properties as shown below:

<fx:XML id="windowMenu">
<root>
<menuitem label="Database">
<menuitem id="newdb" label="New" key="n" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem id="opendb" label="Open" key="o" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem id="savedb" label="Save a copy" key="s" controlKey="true" enabled="{tableTree.selectedItems.length>0}"/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Table">
<menuitem id="newtable" label="Add table" key="t" controlKey="true" enabled="{tableTree.selectedItems.length>0}"/>
<menuitem id="droptable" label="Drop table" key="d" controlKey="true" enabled="{isTableSelected}"/>
</menuitem>
</root>
</fx:XML>

Now go to menuSelect and assign handler functions for each of the menu items. Set the "newtable" and "droptable" handlers to existing newTable() and dropTable() functions, and the new "saveddb" item's handler to a new function saveCopy():

private function menuSelect(evt:FlexNativeMenuEvent):void {
(evt.item.@id == "newdb")?(newDatabase()):(void);
(evt.item.@id == "opendb")?(openDatabase()):(void);
(evt.item.@id == "newtable")?(newTable()):(void);
(evt.item.@id == "droptable")?(dropTable()):(void);
(evt.item.@id == "savedb")?(saveCopy()):(void);
}

The function first finds out the path of the current database. The selectedDatabase value contains the sql name of the database. If the selectedDatabase's value is "main", then it's easy - the database is the first one in the dbData xml.

If the value is not main, it consists of "db" with a number, for example, "db3". We can take the "db" away to get the number and find which database item in dbData has the same numid attribute value as this number. Then we use the index of that item in the XML to find out the path to this database:

var databasePath:String;
if (selectedDatabase == "main") databasePath = dbData.db[0].@path;
if (selectedDatabase != "main") {
var newNum:int = Number(selectedDatabase.replace("db", ""));
var newInd:int;
for (var i:int = 0; i < dbData.db.length(); i++) {
if (dbData.db[i].@numid == newNum) {
newInd = i;
break;
}
}
databasePath = dbData.db[newInd].@path;
}

After that, we create a File object to open a new browse window to let the user select the destination of the copy. After it is selected, we check if the selected file is already opened in our application. If it is, abort operation, because this might raise problems. Create a new File object of the initial database and use its copyTo() method to copy the file:

var file:File = new File(databasePath);
file.browseForSave("Save copy of database");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onCopySelect);
function onCopySelect(evt:Event):void {
if(notAlreadyOpen(file)){
var initFile:File = new File(databasePath);
initFile.copyTo(file, true);
}else {
Alert.show("Cannot overwrite a file that is currently open.", "Nope");
}
}

Full function code:

private function saveCopy():void {
var databasePath:String;
if (selectedDatabase == "main") databasePath = dbData.db[0].@path;
if (selectedDatabase != "main") {
var newNum:int = Number(selectedDatabase.replace("db", ""));
var newInd:int;
for (var i:int = 0; i < dbData.db.length(); i++) {
if (dbData.db[i].@numid == newNum) {
newInd = i;
break;
}
}
databasePath = dbData.db[newInd].@path;
}
var file:File = new File(databasePath);
file.browseForSave("Save copy of database");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onCopySelect);
function onCopySelect(evt:Event):void {
if(notAlreadyOpen(file)){
var initFile:File = new File(databasePath);
initFile.copyTo(file, true);
}else {
Alert.show("Cannot overwrite a file that is currently open.", "Nope");
}
}
}

The feature we added today will be useful to developers to be able to quickly backup databases before attempting to do anything with them.

In this tutorial we'll add a field that will display the latest executed SQL Statement to the user.

This feature may prove useful for many reasons. For example, the user might need to track the commands to be able to undo them. Or he'd like to check the database names before writing a manual SQL query. This will also be very useful to the developers (us!) for debugging.

Go to the VGroup with the TabNavigator in it and place this Box above the TabNavigator:

<mx:Box height="80" width="100%">
<s:VGroup paddingTop="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10" paddingBottom="10" width="100%" height="100%">
<s:HGroup width="100%" verticalAlign="middle">
<s:Label width="100%">Latest SQL statement:</s:Label>
<s:Button width="100" label="View history" click="openHistory();" />
</s:HGroup>
<s:TextArea id="statementText" editable="false" width="100%" height="30"/>
</s:VGroup>
</mx:Box>

As you can see, the user sees a TextArea with an id of statementText, as well as a label and a button labeled "View history". The click event handler of the button is set to openHistory().

Declare a new array, sqlHistory:

private var sqlHistory:Array = [];

Add a new function lastStatement(), which receives a String value of the statement.

The function sets statementText's text to this value, and pushes it to sqlHistory array:

private function lastStatement(text:String):void {
statementText.text = text;
sqlHistory.push(text);
}

Now we call this function and pass the statement query text as the parameter each time we execute an SQLStatement object. You'll see it in the full code in the end of this tutorial.

Now, create a new TitleWindow in the Declarations tags. Give it an id of historyWindow, set its close event handler to closeHistoryWindow() and add a TextArea with an id "historyText".

<mx:TitleWindow id="historyWindow" title="SQL History" close="closeHistoryWindow();" showCloseButton="true">
<mx:Box width="100%" height="100%" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10" paddingTop="10" paddingBottom="10">
<s:TextArea id="historyText" width="100%" height="100%" editable="false" />
</mx:Box>
</mx:TitleWindow>

Now create the openHistory() function. Here, we add the pop up, set its size, center it and loop through the array's values to add them to the text area:

private function openHistory():void {
PopUpManager.addPopUp(historyWindow, this);
historyWindow.width = width - 100;
historyWindow.height = height - 100;
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(historyWindow);
historyText.text = "";
for (var i:int = sqlHistory.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
historyText.appendText(sqlHistory[i] + "\n");
}
}

The closeHistoryWindow() function closes the window:

private function closeHistoryWindow():void {
PopUpManager.removePopUp(historyWindow);
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 9

2012-05-10T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we are going to add the ability to add new tables to a database, and to drop tables.

Find the VGroup that our Tree object is located in. Add a HGroup above the Tre with two buttons in it, labeled "New table" and "Drop table". Set their click event handlers to newTable() and dropTable(). Set their enabled properties to {table.selectedItems.length>0} and {isTableSelected}.

Set the id of our table to tableTree.

<s:VGroup width="200" height="100%" gap="0">
<s:HGroup>
<s:Button label="New table" click="newTable();" enabled="{tableTree.selectedItems.length>0}"/>
<s:Button label="Drop table" click="dropTable();" enabled="{isTableSelected}" />
</s:HGroup>
<mx:Tree id="tableTree" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{dbData}" showRoot="false" labelField="@label" itemClick="tableSelect(event);"/>
</s:VGroup>

We'll need to declare two variables - selectedDatabase and isTableSelected.

private var selectedDatabase:String = "";
[Bindable]
private var isTableSelected:Boolean = false;

The selectedDatabase variable must contain the name of the current database ("main", or "db"+index).

Go to tableSelect() function. Add another if statement that executes code if the selected item in the tree is a branch. Inside of the statement, set isTableSelected to false, and add code that sets selectedDatabase to the proper value, based on the "numid" attribute of the selected database.

In the second if statement, set isTableSelected to false and selectedDatabase to "databaseName" attribute of the selected tree item.

private function tableSelect(evt:Event):void {
if (evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@isBranch) {
isTableSelected = false;
var dataname:String;
if (evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@numid == 1) dataname = "main";
if (evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@numid > 1) dataname = "db" + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@numid;
selectedDatabase = dataname;
}
if (evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
isTableSelected = true;
selectedDatabase = evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName;
tableData = new ArrayCollection([]);
var newColumns:Array = [checkboxColumn];
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label, evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
for (var i:int = 0; i < schema.tables[0].columns.length; i++) {
var aColumn:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn(schema.tables[0].columns[i].name);
newColumns.push(aColumn);
}
tableGrid.columns = newColumns;
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT * FROM " + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName + "." + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label;
stat.execute(-1, new Responder(tableSuccess, tableError));
}
function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {
for (var item:Object in evt.data) {
var obj:Object = new Object();
for (var value:Object in evt.data[item]) {
obj[value] = evt.data[item][value];
}
tableData.addItem(obj);
}
}
}
function tableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("Unable to read table data.", "Error");
}
}

Go to loadDataSchema() and set isTableSelected to false:

private function loadDataSchema(name:String):void {
if (name != "") {
connection.loadSchema(null, null, name, true, new Responder(schemaSuccess, schemaError));
function schemaSuccess(evt:SQLSchemaResult):void {
// Schema found! Now parsing:
var result:SQLSchemaResult = evt;
// Adding tables:
var nid:Number = (name=="main")?(1):(Number(name.replace("db", "")));
var dataNode:XMLList = dbData.db.(@numid == nid);
dataNode.setChildren(<placeholder/>);
delete dataNode.placeholder;
for (var i:int = 0; i < result.tables.length; i++) {
var newTable:XML = new XML(<tb/>);
newTable.@label = result.tables[i].name;
newTable.@isBranch = false;
newTable.@databaseName = name;
dataNode.appendChild(newTable);
}
}
function schemaError(evt:SQLError):void {
// Alert.show("Database is empty");
}
isTableSelected = false;
}
}

Now that the values of these two variables are set properly, we can use them to create and drop tables.

First create the newTable() function. Here, we will call out a pop up window called newTableWindow, where the user will be able to enter the name for the new table:

private function newTable():void {
PopUpManager.addPopUp(newTableWindow, this);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(newTableWindow);
newTableWindow.title = "Create new table";
}

The newTableWindow object is a TitleWindow that is declared in the Declarations tags. Set its close event listener to closeNewTableWindow(), set showCloseButton to true, and inside of the TitleWindow add a TextInput with an id "newTableName" and button with a click event handler "createNewTable()":

<mx:TitleWindow id="newTableWindow" title="Create new table" close="closeNewTableWindow();" showCloseButton="true">
<s:VGroup>
<s:HGroup width="100%" verticalAlign="middle">
<s:Label>Table name: </s:Label>
<s:TextInput id="newTableName" />
</s:HGroup>
<s:Button click="createNewTable();" label="Create" width="100%" />
</s:VGroup>
</mx:TitleWindow>

The closeNewTableWindow() closes the window:

private function closeNewTableWindow():void{
PopUpManager.removePopUp(newTableWindow);
}

The createNewTable() function creates a new SQLStatement object with a query built using our existing data. It is important that we set both success and error event handlers using a responder for this query, and display the error details to the user if an error occured. If everything went smoothly, close the window and call loadDataSchema():

private function createNewTable():void {
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + selectedDatabase + "." + newTableName.text + "(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, blankColumn TEXT)";
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(newTableSuccess, newTableError));
function newTableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
closeNewTableWindow();
loadDataSchema(selectedDatabase);
}
function newTableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR:" + evt.details, "Error");
}
}

The Drop Table feature is more simple. First we throw out an Alert, asking the user if he is sure that he wants to remove the table. If the answer is YES, we create a new SQLStatement that drops the table. Once again, if there was an error - tell the user the details of the error. Otherwise, call loadDataSchema():

private function dropTable():void {
Alert.show("Are you sure you want to completely delete this table?", "Drop table?", Alert.YES | Alert.NO, null, dropConfirm);
function dropConfirm(evt:CloseEvent):void {
if (evt.detail == Alert.YES) {
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "DROP TABLE " + selectedDatabase + "." + tableTree.selectedItem.@label;
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(dropTableSuccess, dropTableError));
}
}
function dropTableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
loadDataSchema(selectedDatabase);
}
function dropTableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("ERROR:" + evt.details, "Error");
}
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 8

2012-05-09T10:00:00.000+03:00

Today we'll add a feature to our SQLite manager that reads and parses table data.

The function we'll work in today is the tableSelect() function.

Last time we added code that displays and assigns columns of the table to the advanced data grid. Right after the last line of that piece of code, add a new SQLStatement object. Set its sqlConnection property's value to our connection object. Set the query text to a SELECT command, which selects everything from the currently selected table from its parent database. Execute the statement and set a responder.

var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT * FROM " + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName + "." + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label;
stat.execute(-1, new Responder(tableSuccess, tableError));

This piece of code is included in the if statement that we currently have in tableSelect(). In the beginning of this if statement, add a line which sets tableData to a new blank ArrayCollection.

So you'll get this:

if (evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
tableData = new ArrayCollection([]);
var newColumns:Array = [checkboxColumn];
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label, evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
for (var i:int = 0; i < schema.tables[0].columns.length; i++) {
var aColumn:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn(schema.tables[0].columns[i].name);
newColumns.push(aColumn);
}
tableGrid.columns = newColumns;
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT * FROM " + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName + "." + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label;
stat.execute(-1, new Responder(tableSuccess, tableError));
}

Now we need to create the tableSuccess and tableError functions.

The second one is very simple - we just alert the user that an error has occured.

function tableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("Unable to read table data.", "Error");
}

The tableSuccess() function is more complex.

First, we check if evt.data is not null.

function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {

}
}

Then we loop through all properties in evt.data - the object that is filled with data that was read from the sql:

function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {
for (var item:Object in evt.data) {

}
}
}

Inside of it, we create a new "obj" Object variable, which represents one row in the table. Then we add another loop that loops through all attributes in the current row's Object. We use the variable that we used in declaring that last loop to read the name of the attribute and its value. We set the "obj" Object's attribute with the same attribute name as in SQL (so that it matched column name in AdvancedDataGrid) and apply the value from the SQL to this object.

Then we simply add this "obj" Object to the tableData ArrayCollection:

function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {
for (var item:Object in evt.data) {
var obj:Object = new Object();
for (var value:Object in evt.data[item]) {
obj[value] = evt.data[item][value];
}
tableData.addItem(obj);
}
}
}

Full function:

private function tableSelect(evt:Event):void {
if (evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
tableData = new ArrayCollection([]);
var newColumns:Array = [checkboxColumn];
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label, evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
for (var i:int = 0; i < schema.tables[0].columns.length; i++) {
var aColumn:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn(schema.tables[0].columns[i].name);
newColumns.push(aColumn);
}
tableGrid.columns = newColumns;
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT * FROM " + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName + "." + evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label;
stat.execute(-1, new Responder(tableSuccess, tableError));
}
function tableSuccess(evt:SQLResult):void {
if (evt.data != null) {
for (var item:Object in evt.data) {
var obj:Object = new Object();
for (var value:Object in evt.data[item]) {
obj[value] = evt.data[item][value];
}
tableData.addItem(obj);
}
}
}
function tableError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("Unable to read table data.", "Error");
}
}

Now you can select tables and see their contents!

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 7

2012-05-08T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this part of the tutorial we will add the ability to view columns of a table by selecting a table in the tree container and also add a check that doesn't let the user create a new database file on top of another one, overwriting it.

To prevent overwriting, add an if statement to the newDatabase() function, that checks if the file already exists:

private function newDatabase():void {
var file:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("Untitled");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, newSelect);
file.browseForSave("Choose where to save the database");
var newDB:XML;
var statement:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
function newSelect(evt:Event):void {
if (file.exists) {
Alert.show("File already exists, cannot overwrite.", "Nope");
return;
}
file.nativePath += ".db";
var n:String = parseDatabase(file);
loadDataSchema(n);
}
}

The columns will be displayed in the tableGrid AdvancedDataGrid object. As you may already know, to assign column values to an AdvancedDataGrid, you have to create an array and apply it to the "columns" property of the data grid object.

Find the AdvancedDataGrid in the existing code and set its columns property to an array of one single AdvancedDataGridColumn object, which has the header "Data". That's what will be displayed by default.

<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="tableGrid" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{tableData}" editable="true">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="" headerText="Data" editable="false" />
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>

We had a column that was supposed to contain checkboxes for each item, so that the user can select multiple items to perform an action with them. The column is not lost, just move it to the Declarations tags and give it an id of "checkboxColumn", we'll use it soon.

<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn id="checkboxColumn" headerText=" " width="30" sortable="false" draggable="false" resizable="false" editable="false">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<fx:Component>
<mx:Box width="30" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:CheckBox selected="@{data.sel}" />
</mx:Box>
</fx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>

Now go to the loadDataSchema() function. Here we'll add 2 more attributes to each table element in the XML. The attributes are isBranch and databaseName. Set their values as shown:

private function loadDataSchema(name:String):void {
if (name != "") {
connection.loadSchema(null, null, name, true, new Responder(schemaSuccess, schemaError));
function schemaSuccess(evt:SQLSchemaResult):void {
// Schema found! Now parsing:
var result:SQLSchemaResult = evt;
// Adding tables:
var nid:Number = (name=="main")?(1):(Number(name.replace("db", "")));
var dataNode:XMLList = dbData.db.(@numid == nid);
dataNode.setChildren(<placeholder/>);
delete dataNode.placeholder;
for (var i:int = 0; i < result.tables.length; i++) {
var newTable:XML = new XML(<tb/>);
newTable.@label = result.tables[i].name;
newTable.@isBranch = false;
newTable.@databaseName = name;
dataNode.appendChild(newTable);
}
}
function schemaError(evt:SQLError):void {
// Alert.show("Database is empty");
}
}
}

Now find the Tree object. Add an "itemClick" event listener and set its handler to tableSelect(event):

<mx:Tree width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{dbData}" showRoot="false" labelField="@label" itemClick="tableSelect(event);" />

The function first checks if the selected item is not a branch. If it isn't, then its a table. Create a new array with just one value in the beginning (checkboxColumn), and then use connection's loadSchema() object to load data of the table. Set values to the first 3 parameters of the function as shown below.

After that is done, we can use the schema's data to loop through the table's columns and add them one by one to the array. Then we just apply the array to tableGrid.columns:

private function tableSelect(evt:Event):void {
if (evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
var newColumns:Array = [checkboxColumn];
connection.loadSchema(SQLTableSchema, evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label, evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@databaseName);
var schema:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
for (var i:int = 0; i < schema.tables[0].columns.length; i++) {
var aColumn:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn(schema.tables[0].columns[i].name);
newColumns.push(aColumn);
}
tableGrid.columns = newColumns;
}
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 6

2012-05-07T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this part we'll improve our SQL Schema reading function.

In the last tutorial, we've created a function called loadDataSchema(). Here, we call the loadSchema() method of our SQLConnection object twice - the first time to see if the schema exists, the second time to read the data.

When we call it the first time, we set a responder for success and error events. If the operation has succeeded, only then we proceed to load the schema for the second time. We did this, because we couldn't read the schema using getSchemaResult() method. But there's a more efficient and quicker way to read the schema data, without loading it twice.

We simply assign the results variable to the event object that was received:

function schemaSuccess(evt:SQLSchemaResult):void {
// Schema found! Now parsing:
var result:SQLSchemaResult = evt;

Now, after the schema is received, we can read its data to add tables as children for the approporiate database nodes in the dbData XMLList. To find out which node we're looking for, let's break the "name" value we have into a number, which will represent the "numid" attribute of the database in the XMLList.

Create a variable and set its value depending on what the "name" is. If the name is set to "main", then the number will equal 1. Otherwise (if the name is "db2", "db3", etc), remove "db" from the name to get the needed number (2, 3, etc).

var nid:Number = (name=="main")?(1):(Number(name.replace("db", "")));

Then we look for that node in the XMLList by checking whether the "numid" attribute's value equals "nid":

var dataNode:XMLList = dbData.db.(@numid == nid);

We need to make sure the node has no children before we add anything to it. To do that, simply set the children of this node to a single placeholder item, and then delete that item:

dataNode.setChildren(<placeholder/>);
delete dataNode.placeholder;

After that, we can create a loop that adds XML children to the dataNode object. Set the label values of the children to the "name" value of its respective SQLTableSchema object in the result.tables array.

for (var i:int = 0; i < result.tables.length; i++) {
var newTable:XML = new XML(<tb/>);
newTable.@label = result.tables[i].name;
dataNode.appendChild(newTable);
}

Full loadDataSchema() function:

private function loadDataSchema(name:String):void {
if (name != "") {
connection.loadSchema(null, null, name, true, new Responder(schemaSuccess, schemaError));
function schemaSuccess(evt:SQLSchemaResult):void {
// Schema found! Now parsing:
var result:SQLSchemaResult = evt;
// Adding tables:
var nid:Number = (name=="main")?(1):(Number(name.replace("db", "")));
var dataNode:XMLList = dbData.db.(@numid == nid);
dataNode.setChildren(<placeholder/>);
delete dataNode.placeholder;
for (var i:int = 0; i < result.tables.length; i++) {
var newTable:XML = new XML(<tb/>);
newTable.@label = result.tables[i].name;
dataNode.appendChild(newTable);
}
}
function schemaError(evt:SQLError):void {
// Alert.show("Database is empty");
}
}
}

The application now displays all tables in an SQLite database.

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 5

2012-05-06T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this part of the tutorial we'll begin to read the structure of the opened SQLite database.

First of all, let's optimize the code we have right now. We can do that by putting some of the code from openDatabase() and newDatabase() functions into a separate function called parseDatabase(), which receives 2 parameters - the File object of the database and a boolean needCheck. The function basically opens the database and parses it. If needCheck is set to true, it also checks if this database exists before continuing.

private function parseDatabase(file:File, needCheck:Boolean = false):String {
var ret:String = "";
if (!needCheck || file.exists) {
if(!needCheck || notAlreadyOpen(file)){
var newDB:XML;
if (dbData.db.length() == 0) {
connection.open(file);
dbData = new XMLList(<root></root>);
newDB = <db/>
newDB.@label = file.name;
newDB.@numid = 1;
newDB.@isBranch = true;
newDB.@path = file.nativePath;
dbData[0].appendChild(newDB);
ret = "main";
}else
if (dbData.db.length() > 0) {
var newnum:int = dbData.db.length() + 1;
connection.attach("db"+newnum.toString(), file);
newDB = <db/>
newDB.@label = file.name;
newDB.@numid = newnum.toString();
newDB.@isBranch = true;
newDB.@path = file.nativePath;
dbData[0].appendChild(newDB);
ret = "db" + newnum.toString();
}}else {
Alert.show("Database already opened.", "Error");
}
}else {
Alert.show("File not found.", "Error");
}
return ret;
}

Now we can replace those repeating lines in newDatabase() and openDatabase() by this function.

You might have noticed that the function returns a string value. This value is the name of the newly created database in our connection object. We use this value to pass as a parameter when we call loadDataSchema() function - a function that is called right after parseDatabase() to load and parse the content of the database.

private function newDatabase():void {
var file:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("Untitled");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, newSelect);
file.browseForSave("Choose where to save the database");
var newDB:XML;
var statement:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
function newSelect(evt:Event):void {
file.nativePath += ".db";
var n:String = parseDatabase(file);
loadDataSchema(n);
}
}

private function openDatabase():void {
var file:File = new File();
file.browseForOpen("Open database", [new FileFilter("Databases", "*.db"), new FileFilter("All files", "*")]);
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, openSelect);

function openSelect(evt:Event):void {
var n:String = parseDatabase(file, true);
loadDataSchema(n);
}
}

This is the part where it got tricky for me. To find out information about inner content of the databases such as tables and indices, we need to load a schema. In AIR this is done using loadSchema() method. However, the schema does not exist if the databse is empty. That is why we first load the schema to add 2 event listeners - one function is called if the operation was successful (the schema exists), and the other one will be called if there is an error (the schema does not exist).

We pass a bunch of parameters to the loadSchema() method, including the name of the database we're loading and a Responder object containing references to success and error functions.

In the success function, we'll load the schema one more time, then read it using getSchemResult() method, and display the number of tables in the database. The schema needs to be loaded again before we read the results.

private function loadDataSchema(name:String):void {
if (name != "") {
connection.loadSchema(null, null, name, true, new Responder(schemaSuccess, schemaError));
function schemaSuccess(evt:SQLSchemaResult):void {
// Schema found! Now parsing:
connection.loadSchema(null, null, name, true);
var result:SQLSchemaResult = connection.getSchemaResult();
Alert.show("Schema found! Tables in this database: " + result.tables.length);
}
function schemaError(evt:SQLError):void {
Alert.show("Database is empty");
}
}
}

Now we can open databases and view how many tables it contains.

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 4

2012-05-05T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this part we'll add the ability to open databases that are stored on the hard drive.

Firstly go to the windowMenu XML and set the id for the "Open" XML menuitem to "newdb":

<fx:XML id="windowMenu">
<root>
<menuitem label="Database">
<menuitem id="newdb" label="New" key="n" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem id="opendb" label="Open" key="o" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Save" key="s" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Save As.." key="s" controlKey="true" shiftKey="true" />
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Table">
<menuitem label="Add" key="t" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Edit" key="e" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Delete"/>
</menuitem>
</root>
</fx:XML>

Now in the menuSelect() function add a new line that responds to the user's selection of the "Open" option in the menu:

private function menuSelect(evt:FlexNativeMenuEvent):void {
(evt.item.@id == "newdb")?(newDatabase()):(void);
(evt.item.@id == "opendb")?(openDatabase()):(void);
}

As you can see, I call an openDatabase() function.

Inside of openDatabase(), I first create a new File object and call its browseForOpen() method. I create a FileFilter object to filter database (.db) files. Then I add an Event.SELECT listener to the file:

var file:File = new File();
file.browseForOpen("Open database", [new FileFilter("Databases", "*.db")]);
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, openSelect);

The openSelect() function checks if the file exists. If it doesn't, throw out an Alert, saying that the file was not found.

Then check if the file is already open using notAlreadyOpen() function that I'll create later. If the file is already open, throw an alert saying "Database already opened".

If the file exists and not already opened, check if dbData's length equals 0. If it does, open the database using the connection's open() method. Add the XML node to dbData as usual. If dbData's length is more than 0, use the connection's attach() method. Everything here is similar to what happens in newDatabase()...

private function openDatabase():void {
var file:File = new File();
file.browseForOpen("Open database", [new FileFilter("Databases", "*.db")]);
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, openSelect);

function openSelect(evt:Event):void {
if (file.exists) {
if(notAlreadyOpen(file)){
var newDB:XML;
if (dbData.db.length() == 0) {
connection.open(file);
dbData = new XMLList(<root></root>);
newDB = <db/>
newDB.@label = file.name;
newDB.@numid = 1;
newDB.@isBranch = true;
newDB.@path = file.nativePath;
dbData[0].appendChild(newDB);
}else
if (dbData.db.length() > 0) {
var newnum:int = dbData.db.length() + 1;
connection.attach("db"+newnum.toString(), file);
newDB = <db/>
newDB.@label = file.name;
newDB.@numid = newnum.toString();
newDB.@isBranch = true;
newDB.@path = file.nativePath;
dbData[0].appendChild(newDB);
}}else {
Alert.show("Database already opened.", "Error");
}
}else {
Alert.show("File not found.", "Error");
}
}
}

private function notAlreadyOpen(file:File):Boolean{
var r:Boolean = true;
for (var i:int = 0; i < dbData.db.length(); i++) {
if (file.nativePath == dbData.db[i].@path) {
r = false;
}
}
return r;
}

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 3

2012-05-04T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we will add some very basic functionality to our program. We will add the ability to create new databases and save them.

First of all we'll nede to get rid of the 2 placeholder data holders in the Declarations tags - testData and testTree. Create new XMLList and ArrayCollection in their place, name them dbData and tableData. Also, Set the first menu item's "New" id to "newdb" in the windowMenu XML:

<fx:Declarations>
<fx:XML id="windowMenu">
<root>
<menuitem label="Database">
<menuitem id="newdb" label="New" key="n" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Open" key="o" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Save" key="s" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Save As.." key="s" controlKey="true" shiftKey="true" />
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Table">
<menuitem label="Add" key="t" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Edit" key="e" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Delete"/>
</menuitem>
</root>
</fx:XML>
<fx:XMLList id="dbData">
</fx:XMLList>
<mx:ArrayCollection id="tableData">
</mx:ArrayCollection>
</fx:Declarations>

Now find the FlexNativeMenu declaration line and set its itemClick event handler to menuSelect(event):

<s:menu>
<mx:FlexNativeMenu dataProvider="{windowMenu}" showRoot="false" labelField="@label" keyEquivalentField="@key" itemClick="menuSelect(event);" />
</s:menu>

Before we continue, let's get rid of the temporary data objects' traces. Change the Tree object's dataProvider to dbData:

<mx:Tree width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{dbData}" showRoot="false" labelField="@label"/>

And AdvancedDataGrid's to tableData:

<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="tableGrid" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{tableData}" editable="true">

Now go to the script tags and in the selectAllChange() function change all "testData" to "tableData":

private function selectAllChange(evt:Event):void {
var i:int;
if (evt.currentTarget.selected) {
for (i = 0; i < tableData.length; i++) {
tableData[i].sel = true;
}
} else
if (!evt.currentTarget.selected) {
for (i = 0; i < tableData.length; i++) {
tableData[i].sel = false;
}
}
tableGrid.invalidateDisplayList();
tableGrid.invalidateList();
}

Now declare a connection variable:

private var connection:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();

Create a new function menuSelect(), which checks the selected item's id. If it is "newdb", call newDatabase():

private function menuSelect(evt:FlexNativeMenuEvent):void {
(evt.item.@id == "newdb")?(newDatabase()):(void);
}

In the newDatabase() function first of all we create a new File object and call its browseForSave() method. We set a listener for its Event.SELECT event and declare 2 variables - newDB (an XML) and statement (an SQLStatement):

var file:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("Untitled");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, newSelect);
file.browseForSave("Choose where to save the database");
var newDB:XML;
var statement:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();

Now inside the function, we add another function - newSelect(). This one is called when the user has selected the save location.

Inside of it, we add ".db" to the end of the file's native path.

Then we check if this is the first database that is opened. If it is, we use the connection's open() method and pass the file object as the parameter. We create a temporary SQL statement to create a new blank table - just for the test. You won' be able to see the table in this tutorial, but you'll see that the size of the database on hard drive increased, which means that the table was added.

After the statement is executed, we set dbData to a new XMLList() object, which contains just root tags. After the root tags are added, we use the "newDB" variable to create a new XML element and add it to the XMLList. We specify the following properties for the object: label, numid and isBranch. Set label to file.name, numid to 1 and isBranch to true. Then append the XML child to the dbData object.

Now, this all hapepns when there were no databases previously opened. If the dbData object is not empty, then we execute a little bit different code.

First of all we declare a "newnum" variable which holds the new "numid" for the object (this property will be needed later to tell apart the databases). Newnum's value is set to the current number of databases opened +1.

Instead of calling connection's open() method, we call an attach() method, specify a name ("db" + newnum) and the file object as parameters.

Then we execute an SQL statement. This statement is the same as the previous one, except that the database which we create the table in is different. We can refer to the first database using main. prefix, and to all other databases using its name with a dot (for example, "db2."). After the dot we specify the table name, for example, "main.test" will create a "test" table in the main (first) database.

After the statement, we create a new XML object to append to the dbData object.

The full function looks like this:

private function newDatabase():void {
var file:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("Untitled");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, newSelect);
file.browseForSave("Choose where to save the database");
var newDB:XML;
var statement:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
function newSelect(evt:Event):void {
file.nativePath += ".db";
if (dbData.db.length() == 0) {
connection.open(file);
statement.sqlConnection = connection;
statement.text = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS main.test (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT)";
statement.execute();
dbData = new XMLList(<root></root>);
newDB = <db/>
newDB.@label = file.name;
newDB.@numid = 1;
newDB.@isBranch = true;
dbData[0].appendChild(newDB);
}else
if (dbData.db.length() > 0) {
var newnum:int = dbData.db.length() + 1;
connection.attach("db"+newnum.toString(), file);
statement.sqlConnection = connection;
statement.text = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS db" + newnum.toString() + ".test (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT)";
statement.execute();
newDB = <db/>
newDB.@label = file.name;
newDB.@numid = newnum.toString();
newDB.@isBranch = true;
dbData[0].appendChild(newDB);
}
}
}

You can see that the database files are saved automatically. You can also see that their size changes (to around 3kb) after we insert a table there.

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 2

2012-05-03T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we'll work a little more on the layout - the data grid of the table view screen, specifically.

Firstly, we'll turn the contents of the first NavigatorContent object into a VGroup, which contains an HBox (something I added just now) and an AdvancedDataGrid that we already have.

The HBox is a container which will contain some tools for editing the data grid. We'll add a new column to the datagrid today, which will be a column of CheckBox objects. This way the user will be able to select one or multiple items to perform an action on all of them, for example, delete them all.

For this feature specifically the HBox will contain a CheckBox which will allow the user to select or deselect all of the entries in the table. Set its label to "Select all" and set its change event listener to a function called selectAllChange(), and pass "event" in the parameter. Next to the checkbox, add a button (which does nothing right now) with a label "Delete selected".

<mx:HBox width="100%" height="30" paddingLeft="8" paddingTop="6">
<mx:CheckBox label="Select all" change="selectAllChange(event);" />
<s:Button label="Delete selected" />
</mx:HBox>

In the AdvancedDataGrid itself, we'll do quite a few changes too. First, set its id to tableGrid. Set its editable property to true.

In the columns array, add a new AdvancedDataGridColumn object with blank headerText and width of 30. Set its sortable, draggable, editable and resizable properties to false. Set this particular column's itemRenderer to an fx:Component container, which contains an mx:Box container, which contains a CheckBox object. Set this CheckBox's selected property bound to data.sel.

Set the idnum column's editable property to false. Those are all the changes we made to the data grid:

<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="tableGrid" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{testData}" editable="true">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText=" " width="30" sortable="false" draggable="false" resizable="false" editable="false">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<fx:Component>
<mx:Box width="30" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:CheckBox selected="@{data.sel}" />
</mx:Box>
</fx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="idnum" headerText="ID" editable="false" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="firstname" headerText="First name" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="lastname" headerText="Last name" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="age" headerText="Age"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>

The "sel" property of the "data" object is a boolean variable that is set in the testData array collection. Let's add that to all the items in the array and set the values to false. Let's also increase the number of objects in the array for testing purposes:

<mx:ArrayCollection id="testData">
<fx:Object idnum="1" sel="false" firstname="John" lastname="Jackson" age="32" />
<fx:Object idnum="2" sel="false" firstname="Ted" lastname="Jacobson" age="25" />
<fx:Object idnum="3" sel="false" firstname="Bob" lastname="Smith" age="33" />
<fx:Object idnum="4" sel="false" firstname="John" lastname="Jackson" age="32" />
<fx:Object idnum="5" sel="false" firstname="Ted" lastname="Jacobson" age="25" />
<fx:Object idnum="6" sel="false" firstname="Bob" lastname="Smith" age="33" />
<fx:Object idnum="7" sel="false" firstname="John" lastname="Jackson" age="32" />
<fx:Object idnum="8" sel="false" firstname="Ted" lastname="Jacobson" age="25" />
<fx:Object idnum="9" sel="false" firstname="Bob" lastname="Smith" age="33" />
<fx:Object idnum="10" sel="false" firstname="John" lastname="Jackson" age="32" />
<fx:Object idnum="11" sel="false" firstname="Ted" lastname="Jacobson" age="25" />
<fx:Object idnum="12" sel="false" firstname="Bob" lastname="Smith" age="33" />
<fx:Object idnum="13" sel="false" firstname="John" lastname="Jackson" age="32" />
<fx:Object idnum="14" sel="false" firstname="Ted" lastname="Jacobson" age="25" />
<fx:Object idnum="15" sel="false" firstname="Bob" lastname="Smith" age="33" />
<fx:Object idnum="16" sel="false" firstname="John" lastname="Jackson" age="32" />
<fx:Object idnum="17" sel="false" firstname="Ted" lastname="Jacobson" age="25" />
<fx:Object idnum="18" sel="false" firstname="Bob" lastname="Smith" age="33" />
</mx:ArrayCollection>

Now create fx:Script tags to create a function called selectAllChange(). This function checks if the "Select all" checkbox is selected or not. If it is selected, then loop through all items in testData and set their "sel" properties to true. Otherwise, loop through them and set the values to false.

<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.Event;
import mx.controls.Alert;

private function selectAllChange(evt:Event):void {
var i:int;
if (evt.currentTarget.selected) {
for (i = 0; i < testData.length; i++) {
testData[i].sel = true;
}
} else
if (!evt.currentTarget.selected) {
for (i = 0; i < testData.length; i++) {
testData[i].sel = false;
}
}
tableGrid.invalidateDisplayList();
tableGrid.invalidateList();
}
]]>
</fx:Script>

What's worth noticing is that all List-like components in Flex (such as List, DataGrid and TileList) don't always create a separate item renderer for each item in the data provider. For example, if we have 500 items in the List, it doesn't mean that the List will have 500 item renderers that all display values for their own assigned items. In these situations, the component usually has a scrollbar (or even two) and not all of the items are visible. For example, only 10 items might be visible out of 500 at a time. The List component just displays 10 and changes their values as the user scrolls through the content.

This boosts up the performance a lot, but can also cause some problems. Like in our situation - if we have a lot of items in the datagrid, say, 100, we obviously won't be able to view all of them at the same time, maybe around 15 at a time - the data grid will only display these 15 visible items.

What's the problem then? It's that if we use custom modifications, such as CheckBoxes as item renderers of the columns, they also keep their properties like "selected" even if the item renderer is switched to display another item, which might have a different value.

To prevent this, we must bind the select value to data.sel using the {} braces. Because our check boxes are also editable (the user can tick and untick them), we two-way-bind them using @{data.sel}.

KirSQLite - Flex AIR Database Manager: Part 1

2012-05-02T10:00:00.000+03:00

Today we will start working on a new application - an SQLite database manager.

The goal is to make a program, which can be used as a tool to create, view, edit, search through databases. The SQL database engine we're using is SQLite.

As usual, I am using FlashDevelop to create the program. I highly recommend you do the same. Remember to update your software to the latest available version. Do the same with Flex and AIR SDK too.

Go to Project > New Project. Create a new Flex 4 AIR Projector, name it KirSQLite.

Now find the Main.mxml file in the newly generated src folder in the project directory, and let's start creating the layout of our application.

We're going to use the native toolbar menu thing, so we'll need to create an XML object in the Declarations tags with the menu contents. Right now, I'll just add 2 main menu items - Database and Table, but as I work on the project, I'll continue adding more items and subitems. Let's just have this for now:

<fx:XML id="windowMenu">
<root>
<menuitem label="Database">
<menuitem label="New" key="n" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Open" key="o" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Save" key="s" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Save As.." key="s" controlKey="true" shiftKey="true" />
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Table">
<menuitem label="New" key="t" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Edit" key="e" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Delete"/>
</menuitem>
</root>
</fx:XML>

You can see that the id of the XML object is windowMenu. We'll use it to declare the native menu using menu tags like this:

<s:menu>
<mx:FlexNativeMenu dataProvider="{windowMenu}" showRoot="false" labelField="@label" keyEquivalentField="@key"/>
</s:menu>

Now let's move below the toolbar. Here I'm going to have the screen divided in two areas - the first one will be a vertical bar, which will contain the databases that are open right now, with all their tables. We're going to use a Tree object for this.

The second area will be a larger one, and will consist of a TabNavigator. Once again, let's add just some basic content for the component so that we can (and probably will) add and change it later. The current NavigatorContent objects of the TabNavigator container will be "Table contents", "Edit columns" and "Query".

Let's add content for the first NavigatorContent for now. This content will be a big AdvancedDataGrid object.

For now, let's add some placeholder data for the AdvancedDataGrid and the Tree objects, to see what the program is going to look like with actual content.

<s:HGroup gap="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<s:VGroup width="200" height="100%" gap="0">
<mx:Tree width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{testTree}" showRoot="false" labelField="@label"/>
</s:VGroup>
<s:VGroup width="100%" height="100%" gap="0">
<mx:TabNavigator width="100%" height="100%" paddingTop="0">
<s:NavigatorContent label="Table contents">
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{testData}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="idnum" headerText="ID" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="firstname" headerText="First name" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="lastname" headerText="Last name" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="age" headerText="Age"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
</s:NavigatorContent>
<s:NavigatorContent label="Edit columns">

</s:NavigatorContent>
<s:NavigatorContent label="Query">

</s:NavigatorContent>
</mx:TabNavigator>
</s:VGroup>
</s:HGroup>

You can see that I've bound the Tree object's dataProvider to "testTree", and the AdvancedDataGrid one's to "testData". These both objects are placed within the Declarations tags (along with windowMenu), and are simple XMLList and ArrayCollection objects:

<fx:Declarations>
<fx:XML id="windowMenu">
<root>
<menuitem label="Database">
<menuitem label="New" key="n" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Open" key="o" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Save" key="s" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Save As.." key="s" controlKey="true" shiftKey="true" />
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Table">
<menuitem label="New" key="t" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Edit" key="e" controlKey="true" />
<menuitem label="Delete"/>
</menuitem>
</root>
</fx:XML>
<fx:XMLList id="testTree">
<root>
<treeitem label="Database1">
<treeitem label="Table1"/>
<treeitem label="Table2"/>
<treeitem label="Table3"/>
</treeitem>
</root>
</fx:XMLList>
<mx:ArrayCollection id="testData">
<fx:Object idnum="1" firstname="John" lastname="Jackson" age="32" />
<fx:Object idnum="2" firstname="Ted" lastname="Jacobson" age="25" />
<fx:Object idnum="3" firstname="Bob" lastname="Smith" age="33" />

KirSizer - Flex AIR Image Sizer app: Part 14

2012-04-30T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we will make the log text area refresh when it reaches bottom and add an option to skip files if their size is already correct.

When I was testing KirSizer on a big amount of images, I noticed that quite a lot of images already had the correct size and thought that it would take less time if I just checked if the picture's size are already correct and skip them. However, just skipping all files for just having correct sizes is wrong, since KirSizer is not only capable of resizing images, but also renaming them, changing their format and also compress pictures. That is why I decided to include the "Skip" feature as a toggleable option.

I also noticed that the log text can get quite big. To prevent any problems with too large text, I decided to clear the text area every time it reaches 24 lines. This way it is still informative, but takes much less space and perhaps this way it even is more comprehendable.

First we'll do the text limitation feature. Create a function called checkLineLimit() which checks if the number of lines exceeds 24 and set logArea's text to blank if so.

private function checkLineLimit():void {
if (countLines(logArea.text) > 24) {
logArea.text = "";
}
}

The countLines() function that I used returns an integer value, which equals to the number of elements of the array that's created by splitting the text area's text by new line characters:

private function countLines(text:String):int {
var splittedText:Array = text.split("\n");
var lines:int = splittedText.length;
return lines;
}

We call this function in the beginning of nextAction(), in its first if statement:

private function nextAction():void {
if (currentNum < selectedFiles.length) {
checkLineLimit();
var isFolder:Boolean = false;
var folder:File = new File(selectedFiles[currentNum].path);
// if its a folder, create a global array that stores all image files of the folder
if (folderArray.length > 0) isFolder = true;
if (folder.exists && selectedFiles.length > currentNum && selectedFiles[currentNum].type == 1 && folderArray.length == 0) {
isFolder = true;
folderArray = [];
var allContent:Array = folder.getDirectoryListing();
for (var i:int = 0; i < allContent.length; i++) {
if (allContent[i].isDirectory == false && (allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "png" || allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "jpg" || allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "jpeg")) {
folderArray.push(allContent[i]);
}
}
if (selectedFiles[currentNum].num != folderArray.length) {
appendHighlight("ERROR: incorrect amount of image files found in folder " + folder.name + "\n", 0xff2222);
errorText += "Not enough or too many image files found in folder " + folder.nativePath + " (some files were removed/added before it was this folder's turn to be resized)" + File.lineEnding;
totalErrors++;
}
}
if (!folder.exists && selectedFiles.length > currentNum && selectedFiles[currentNum].type == 1 && folderArray.length == 0) {
appendHighlight("ERROR: folder not found (" + folder.name + ")\n", 0xff2222);
errorText += "Folder was not found at " + folder.nativePath + File.lineEnding;
totalErrors++;
currentNum++;
nextAction();
return;
}
resizeNext(isFolder);
}else {
progressBar.setProgress(totalFiles, totalFiles);
appendHighlight("Operation complete!\nErrors: " + totalErrors + "\nFiles resized: " + successFiles + "/" + totalFiles, 0xffff44);
errorText += "----------------------" + File.lineEnding + "Total errors: " + totalErrors + File.lineEnding + "Files resized: " + successFiles + "/" + totalFiles;
buttonError.enabled = true;
buttonReturn.enabled = true;
statusText.setStyle("color", 0x44ff44);
statusText.text = "COMPLETED";
}
}

Now let's work on the skipping feature. Go to the options screen's NavigatorContent object and create a new CheckBox object with an id skipCorrect and selected property set to false:

<s:NavigatorContent width="100%" height="100%" hideEffect="fadeOut" showEffect="fadeIn">

<s:Label/>

</s:VGroup>
</s:NavigatorContent>

Now we're going to add some major changes to the resizeNext() function.

However, the code that we add will not be very big. We're just going to add a needResize boolean value which is set to false if the new height and width equal the old height and width of the image. We are, however, going to have to move large piece of code from the onTimer() function into the resizeNext() function itself.

We are doing this so that we can calculate new size of the picture before starting the timer and wasting time on it. We just load the image, then set all the variables, such as newExtension, currentW, currentH, newW, newH, ratio, newName and needResize, calculate their values, check if the size has changed, and if it hasn't - don't even bother with the timer and just call nextAction(). Otherwise, start the timer and resize normally.

KirSizer - Flex AIR Image Sizer app: Part 13

2012-04-29T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we will add color highlighting to the log area, as well as a colorful indicator of the operation's progress.

We'll use colors in 2 situations in the log area. The first one is to highlight errors - we'll use red color for that. The second time we will use highlighting is in the last 3 lines - the results of the operation. We will use yellow color for that.

To highlight a text fragment in a text area, we'll use the setFormatOfRange() method. We'll need to apply a TextLayoutFormat object, and we'll also need 2 integer numbers - the position of the beginning and ending anchors for the text that needs to be highlighted.

We'll create a new function for that, call it appendHighlight.

private function appendHighlight(text:String, color:uint):void {
var formatHighlight:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
formatHighlight.color = color;
var formatNormal:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
formatNormal.color = 0xaaaaaa;
var firstAnchor:int = logArea.text.length;
logArea.appendText(text);
var secondAnchor:int = logArea.text.length;
logArea.setFormatOfRange(formatHighlight, firstAnchor, secondAnchor);
logArea.setFormatOfRange(formatNormal, secondAnchor, secondAnchor);
}

As you can see, we pass a text value to the function, and the function adds the text to the logArea, while also highlighting it, using the color that we pass as the parameter. After changing the format of the error message, we revert the format to the normal one.

Now, we need to change every line that uses the logArea's appendText() method to display an Error message, or to print the results of the operation and change logArea.appendText to appendHighlight, while also passing the second color value parameter. As I said, we need to do this in every place that displays an error message or the results. I'll include full code below if you have trouble finding them.

Next, let's make a colorful text indicator that is located under the progress bar and turns yellow when the images are being resized and says "IN PROGRESS", and turns green when the operation is completed and asys "COMPLETED".

Go to the last NavigatorContent object and turn the progress bar into a group, then add a new Label object inside. Set its top and left properties so that it is positioned under the progress bar. Set its id to statusText.

<s:NavigatorContent width="100%" height="100%" hideEffect="fadeOut" showEffect="fadeIn">
<s:VGroup width="280" height="440" top="10" left="10">
<s:Label width="100%" color="0xff3333" fontWeight="bold">Do not add, remove or rename selected files.</s:Label>
<s:Group width="100%">
<mx:ProgressBar id="progressBar" width="100%" mode="manual" label="Resizing %1/%2" color="0xffffff" />
<s:Label top="20" left="200" textAlign="right" id="statusText" fontWeight="bold"/>
</s:Group>
<s:TextArea id="logArea" editable="false" width="100%" height="100%" />
<s:HGroup>
<s:Button id="buttonError" label="Save error log" click="saveErrors();" width="136" />
<s:Button id="buttonReturn" label="Return" click="contentStack.selectedIndex = 0;" width="136" />
</s:HGroup>
</s:VGroup>
</s:NavigatorContent>

In beginResize() function, in the last if statement add 2 lines that set the text and color of the statusText object using "text" property and setStyle() method:

if (canProceed) {
contentStack.selectedIndex = 3;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(400, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimer);
timer.start();
function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
buttonError.enabled = false;
buttonReturn.enabled = false;
logArea.text = "";
logArea.appendText("Beginning resizing of " + totalFiles + " files...\n");
currentNum = 0;
totalErrors = 0;
successFiles = 0;
progressBar.setProgress(0, totalFiles);
errorText = "Error log of resizing operation of " + totalFiles + " files." + File.lineEnding + "Started at: " + new Date() + File.lineEnding;
errorText += "----------------------" + File.lineEnding;
statusText.setStyle("color", 0xffff55);
statusText.text = "IN PROGRESS";
nextAction();
}
}

In nextAction(), when the operation is completed, change the text's color to green and value to "COMPLETED":

private function nextAction():void {
if (currentNum < selectedFiles.length) {
var isFolder:Boolean = false;
var folder:File = new File(selectedFiles[currentNum].path);
// if its a folder, create a global array that stores all image files of the folder
if (folderArray.length > 0) isFolder = true;
if (folder.exists && selectedFiles.length > currentNum && selectedFiles[currentNum].type == 1 && folderArray.length == 0) {
isFolder = true;
folderArray = [];
var allContent:Array = folder.getDirectoryListing();
for (var i:int = 0; i < allContent.length; i++) {
if (allContent[i].isDirectory == false && (allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "png" || allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "jpg" || allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "jpeg")) {
folderArray.push(allContent[i]);
}
}
if (selectedFiles[currentNum].num != folderArray.length) {
appendHighlight("ERROR: incorrect amount of image files found in folder " + folder.name + "\n", 0xff2222);
errorText += "Not enough or too many image files found in folder " + folder.nativePath + " (some files were removed/added before it was this folder's turn to be resized)" + File.lineEnding;
totalErrors++;
}
}
if (!folder.exists && selectedFiles.length > currentNum && selectedFiles[currentNum].type == 1 && folderArray.length == 0) {
appendHighlight("ERROR: folder not found (" + folder.name + ")\n", 0xff2222);
errorText += "Folder was not found at " + folder.nativePath + File.lineEnding;
totalErrors++;
currentNum++;
nextAction();
return;
}
resizeNext(isFolder);
}else {
progressBar.setProgress(totalFiles, totalFiles);
appendHighlight("Operation complete!\nErrors: " + totalErrors + "\nFiles resized: " + successFiles + "/" + totalFiles, 0xffff44);
errorText += "----------------------" + File.lineEnding + "Total errors: " + totalErrors + File.lineEnding + "Files resized: " + successFiles + "/" + totalFiles;
buttonError.enabled = true;
buttonReturn.enabled = true;
statusText.setStyle("color", 0x44ff44);
statusText.text = "COMPLETED";
}
}

KirSizer - Flex AIR Image Sizer app: Part 12

2012-04-28T10:00:00.000+03:00

In this tutorial we will work on catching and displaying errors.

The first thing we'll do is declare 2 variables we're going to use - errorText and successFiles:

private var errorText:String;
private var successFiles:int;

The errorText value will represent the text of the error log text file that will be exported if the user wants to look at the errors in details.

The successFiles value is a number that represents how many files have been successfully resized without errors.

Go to the buttonError button and set its click event handler to saveErrors():

<s:Button id="buttonError" label="Save error log" click="saveErrors();" width="136" />

The function itself creates a file object with pre-defined file name errors.txt, we use the browseForSave() method to call out the browse dialog window. When the destination is selected, we check if there is no .txt in the file name and add it ourselves if it is so. Then we write the text into the file using FileStream's writeUTFBytes() method:

private function saveErrors():void {
var file:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("errors.txt");
file.browseForSave("Save error log");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, errorSelect);

function errorSelect(evt:Event):void {
if (!file.nativePath.match(/^.*\.(txt)$/i)) {
file.nativePath += ".txt";
}
var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
fileStream.writeUTFBytes(errorText);
fileStream.close();
}
}

Now let's start writing code to catch and report all kinds of errors that can happen. The first place we'll do that is in the beginResize() function's last if statement. Here, we set errorText to display the number of total files that are being resized, as well as the date and time when the operation was started. We use File.lineEnding to make sure we put the correct new line character. Also set successFiles to 0 here:

if (canProceed) {
contentStack.selectedIndex = 3;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(400, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimer);
timer.start();
function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
buttonError.enabled = false;
buttonReturn.enabled = false;
logArea.text = "";
logArea.appendText("Beginning resizing of " + totalFiles + " files...\n");
currentNum = 0;
totalErrors = 0;
successFiles = 0;
progressBar.setProgress(0, totalFiles);
errorText = "Error log of resizing operation of " + totalFiles + " files." + File.lineEnding + "Started at: " + new Date() + File.lineEnding;
errorText += "----------------------" + File.lineEnding;
nextAction();
}
}

Now, the resizeNext() function. Here, we will check if file does not equal null before refering to it, and we create a new if statement that checks if file equals null. If it does, we simply set canProceed to false and call nextAction(). We don't need to report any errors here because if the file equals null, that means it is either an empty array, or an empty folder, and we will make sure that this kind of error is recorded before resizeNext() is even called.

However, in the "File not found" and "Incorrect extension" if statements we should update the errorText string by adding a line with the error and the file's full path.

In the end of resizeNext(), in the onTimer() function, increase successFiles by 1:

private function resizeNext(isFolder:Boolean):void {
var file:File;
var canProceed:Boolean = true;
var loader:Loader;
var currentProgress:int = progressBar.value + 1;
progressBar.setProgress(currentProgress, totalFiles);

// if its a file
if (!isFolder){
currentNum++;
file = new File(selectedFiles[currentNum - 1].path);
}

// if its a folder
if (isFolder) {
file = folderArray.pop();
if (folderArray.length == 0) {
currentNum++;
}
}

if(file!=null) logArea.appendText("#" + currentProgress + " (" + file.name + ")\n");

// Error: file not found
if (file != null && !file.exists) {
canProceed = false;
logArea.appendText("ERROR: File not found\n");
errorText += "File not found at location: " + file.nativePath + File.lineEnding;
totalErrors++;
nextAction();
}


// Error: bad extension
if (file != null && (file.exists && file.extension.toLowerCase() != "png" && file.extension.toLowerCase() != "jpg" && file.extension.toLowerCase() != "jpeg")) {
canProceed = false;
logArea.appendText("ERROR: Incorrect extension\n");
errorText += "Incorrect file extension: " + file.nativePath + File.lineEnding;
totalErrors++;
nextAction();
}

if (file == null) { 
canProceed = false
nextAction();
};

// load image
if (canProceed) {
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
loader.load(new URLRequest(file.url));
}

// start timer
function onLoadComplete(evt:Event):void {
var timer:Timer = new Timer(500, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimer);
timer.start();
}

function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
// new name
var newName:String = nameInput.text.replace("%initialName%", file.name.substr(0, file.name.lastIndexOf('.')));
newName = newName.replace("%num%", currentProgress);

// new extension
var newExtension:String;
if (formatCombo.selectedIndex == 0) newExtension = file.extension;
if (formatCombo.selectedIndex == 1) newExtension = "jpg";
if (formatCombo.selectedIndex == 2) newExtension = "png";

// new size
var currentW:int = loader.content.width;
var currentH:int = loader.content.height;
var newW:int;
var newH:int;
var ratio:Number;

if (actionCombo.selectedIndex == 0) {
if (widthMeasure.selectedIndex == 0) newW = newWidth.value/100 * currentW;
if (widthMeasure.selectedIndex == 1) newW = newWidth.value;
if (heightMeasure.selectedIndex == 0) newH = newHeight.value/100 * currentH;
if (heightMeasure.selectedIndex == 1) newH = newHeight.value;
}

if (actionCombo.selectedIndex == 1) {
ratio = currentW / currentH;
if (widthMeasure.selectedIndex == 0) newW = newWidth.value/100 * currentW;
if (widthMeasure.selectedIndex == 1) newW = newWidth.value;
newH = newW / ratio;
}

if (actionCombo.selectedIndex == 2) {
ratio = currentW / currentH;
if (heightMeasure.selectedIndex == 0) newH = newHeight.value/100 * currentH;
if (heightMeasure.selectedIndex == 1) newH = newHeight.value;
newW = newH * ratio;
}

if (actionCombo.selectedIndex == 3) {
ratio = currentW / currentH;
newW = newWidth.value;
newH = newW / ratio;
if (newH > newHeight.value) {
newH = newHeight.value;
newW = ratio * newH;
}
}

// log
logArea.appendText("Resized from " + currentW + "x" + currentH + " to " + newW + "x" + newH + "\n");
logArea.appendText("Renamed to " + newName + "." + newExtension + "\n");

// extract
var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.scale(newW/currentW, newH/currentH);
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(newW, newH, false, 0xffffff);
bitmapData.draw(loader.content, matrix, null, null, null, true);

var encoder:IImageEncoder;
if (newExtension == "jpg") encoder = new JPEGEncoder(qualitySlider.value);
if (newExtension == "png") encoder = new PNGEncoder();
var byteArray:ByteArray = encoder.encode(bitmapData);

var newfile:File;
if (newDestination.selected) newfile = new File(destinationPicked + File.separator + newName + "." + newExtension);
if (oldDestination.selected) newfile = new File(file.parent.nativePath + File.separator + newName + "." + newExtension);
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(newfile, FileMode.WRITE);
stream.writeBytes(byteArray);
stream.close();
successFiles++;

nextAction();
}

}

In nextAction() function, we also put text into the errorText value whenever we do so with logArea object. Moreover, we will add a few new if statements. The first one is located inside the other if statement, which also contains a loop that goes through all folder elements. After the loop, we add this if statement that checks if the selected file's "num" property equals the length of folderArray. Because if it doesn't, that means there are not enough image files in the folder than it initially was, or there are too many of them than there should be. We warn the user of this, but not abort the operation. All the images that were found will be resized. The ones that weren't found will just be ignored.

Also, we need to remember that the folder itself could not exist. We need to check that in the big if statement with the loop before executing it, and after that statement we check if a folder is supposed to be resized now and it doesn't exist. If that happens, we warn the user and call nextAction(). We abort the function after that using return;

private function nextAction():void {
if (currentNum < selectedFiles.length) {
var isFolder:Boolean = false;
var folder:File = new File(selectedFiles[currentNum].path);
// if its a folder, create a global array that stores all image files of the folder
if (folderArray.length > 0) isFolder = true;
if (folder.exists && selectedFiles.length > currentNum && selectedFiles[currentNum].type == 1 && folderArray.length == 0) {
isFolder = true;
folderArray = [];
var allContent:Array = folder.getDirectoryListing();
for (var i:int = 0; i < allContent.length; i++) {
if (allContent[i].isDirectory == false && (allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "png" || allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "jpg" || allContent[i].extension.toLowerCase() == "jpeg")) {
folderArray.push(allContent[i]);
}
}
if (selectedFiles[currentNum].num != folderArray.length) {
logArea.appendText("Error: incorrect amount of image files found in folder " + folder.name + "\n");
errorText += "Not enough or too many image files found in folder " + folder.nativePath + " (some files were removed/added before it was this folder's turn to be resized)" + File.lineEnding;
totalErrors++;
}
}
if (!folder.exists && selectedFiles.length > currentNum && selectedFiles[currentNum].type == 1 && folderArray.length == 0) {
logArea.appendText("Error: folder not found (" + folder.name + ")\n");
errorText += "Folder was not found at " + folder.nativePath + File.lineEnding;
totalErrors++;
currentNum++;
nextAction();
return;
}
resizeNext(isFolder);
}else {
progressBar.setProgress(totalFiles, totalFiles);
logArea.appendText("Operation complete!\nErrors: " + totalErrors + "\nFiles resized: " + successFiles + "/" + totalFiles);
errorText += "----------------------" + File.lineEnding + "Total errors: " + totalErrors + File.lineEnding + "Files resized: " + successFiles + "/" + totalFiles;
buttonError.enabled = true;
buttonReturn.enabled = true;
}
}

Now our application can catch some most common errors and create an error log file to help the user see what was the problem. Full code:

KirSizer - Flex AIR Image Sizer app: Part 11

2012-04-27T10:00:00.000+03:00

Today we will add the main feature for our resizing program - the resizing of images!

First we need to add the ability to select an output destination. Declare a variable destinationPicked, a String value with blank text as default:

private var destinationPicked:String = "";

Now go to the part where destination-related objects are put on screen and set the text input's id to destinationInput, and the "Browse" button's click event handler to pickDestination():

<s:Label>Output destination:</s:Label>
<s:HGroup verticalAlign="middle">
<s:RadioButton id="oldDestination" label="Same directory" groupName="destinationGroup" selected="true" />
<s:RadioButton id="newDestination" label="Specified directory" groupName="destinationGroup" />
</s:HGroup>
<s:HGroup verticalAlign="middle" width="100%">
<s:TextInput width="100%" id="destinationInput" enabled="{newDestination.selected}" text="Select destination..." editable="false" />
<s:Button width="80" label="Browse" enabled="{newDestination.selected}" click="pickDestination();" />
</s:HGroup>

Find the part where you create the JPG quality slider and set the id of the slider to qualitySlider:

<s:Label>Output JPG quality:</s:Label>
<s:HSlider id="qualitySlider" width="100%" minimum="1" maximum="100" value="100" />

Now go to beginResize() function and add a new if statement which doesn't let the user to start resizing if the destination is not set to "the same destination" and is not picked:

private function beginResize():void {
var canProceed:Boolean = true;
if (selectedFiles.length == 0) {
canProceed = false;
Alert.show("No files or folders are selected.", "Can't start resizing!");
}
if (nameInput.text.indexOf('%initialName%') < 0 && nameInput.text.indexOf('%num%') < 0) {
canProceed = false;
Alert.show("No wildcards were used in the name field! They are essential for each output file to have an unique name.", "Can't start resizing!");
}
if (newDestination.selected && destinationPicked == "") {
canProceed = false;
Alert.show("No destination set!", "Can't start resizing!");
}
var testName:String = nameInput.text.replace("%initialName%", "");
testName = testName.replace("%num%", "");
if(testName.indexOf('/')>=0 || testName.indexOf("\\")>=0 || testName.indexOf('?')>=0 || testName.indexOf('%')>=0 ||
testName.indexOf('*')>=0 || testName.indexOf(':')>=0 || testName.indexOf('|')>=0 || testName.indexOf('"')>=0 ||
testName.indexOf('<') >= 0 || testName.indexOf('>') >= 0 || testName.indexOf('.') >= 0) {
canProceed = false;
Alert.show("Illegal characters in the name field! Make sure file name field does not contain these characters: / \ ? % * : | \" < > . ", "Can't start resizing!");
}
if (canProceed) {
contentStack.selectedIndex = 3;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(400, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimer);
timer.start();
function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
buttonError.enabled = false;
buttonReturn.enabled = false;
logArea.text = "";
logArea.appendText("Beginning resizing of " + totalFiles + " files...\n");
currentNum = 0;
totalErrors = 0;
progressBar.setProgress(0, totalFiles);
nextAction();
}
}
}

Create a new function pickDestination(), which sets destinationPicked value to the selected directory's nativePath:

private function pickDestination():void {
var file:File = new File();
file.browseForDirectory("Select ouput destination");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, outputSelect);
function outputSelect(evt:Event):void {
destinationPicked = file.nativePath;
destinationInput.text = destinationPicked;
}
}

Now let's go to resizeNext() function and work on actually exporting the result files. We're only going to have to work in the internal onTimer() function.

Firstly, let's fix the %num% wildcard changing to currentNum and not currentProgress, displaying incorrect number:

newName = newName.replace("%num%", currentProgress);

Now, before we call nextAction() in the end of the function, let's add some code that creates a BitmapData object with the picture in it, resize it using a Matrix object, encode it using an approporiate encoder (depending on newExtension value), and save the output file to the correct destination.

First we create the bitmap data object and add the image to it using its draw() object. Create a Matrix object beforehand and use its scale() method to resize the picture:

var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.scale(newW/currentW, newH/currentH);
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(newW, newH, false, 0xffffff);
bitmapData.draw(loader.content, matrix, null, null, null, true);

Then we check what extension we are saving the file in, and create an approporiate encoder object and encode the bitmap data into a byte array:

var encoder:IImageEncoder;
if (newExtension == "jpg") encoder = new JPEGEncoder(qualitySlider.value);
if (newExtension == "png") encoder = new PNGEncoder();
var byteArray:ByteArray = encoder.encode(bitmapData);

Then we pick the correct destination by checking which of the destination radio buttons is currently selected, and apply the correct path to a "newfile" object. Then we create a stream to write the bytes into the file:

var newfile:File;
if (newDestination.selected) newfile = new File(destinationPicked + File.separator + newName + "." + newExtension);
if (oldDestination.selected) newfile = new File(file.parent.nativePath + File.separator + newName + "." + newExtension);
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(newfile, FileMode.WRITE);
stream.writeBytes(byteArray);
stream.close();

And we are done! The program can actually resize stuff now!
