This project aims to provide a reusable instrument for easy and fast implementation of GreenDao database in every Android project. It consists of Java module - GreenDao database universal generator which is ready to be put in any project. By editing single line of code, point a path to your project where ready to use database files will be created. Usage of module is presented on exemplary project that is also included in the package.

project(':MyDaoGenerator') {
    apply plugin: 'application'
    apply plugin: 'java'

    mainClassName = "pl.surecase.eu.MyDaoGenerator"
    // edit output direction
    outputDir = "../DaoExample/src/main/java-gen"

    dependencies {
        compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
        compile('de.greenrobot:DaoGenerator:1.3.0')
    }

    task createDocs {
        def docs = file(outputDir)
        docs.mkdirs()
    }

    run {
        args outputDir
    }
}

Module provide DaoGenerator library on its own via Maven software tool. This library is necessary for creating GreenDao database files. Directory entered by user will be created if it doesn't exist and sent do java code as console argument.

public class MyDaoGenerator {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        Schema schema = new Schema(3, "greendao");
        Entity box = schema.addEntity("Box");
        box.addIdProperty();
        box.addStringProperty("name");
        box.addIntProperty("slots");
        box.addStringProperty("description");
        new DaoGenerator().generateAll(schema, args[0]);
    }
} 

• To run MyDaoGenerator go to Gradle task section in Android Studio.
• Pick MyDaoGenerator from the Gradle project tree.
• Chose run task.

• Module has created files accordingly to content of MyDaoGenerator.class and in directory specified in outputDir parameter.

• It is possible to get it by downloading *.JAR file.

or:

• Add Maven code to gradle.build file.

    dependencies {
         compile 'de.greenrobot:greendao:1.3.7'
    }
