How to Efficiently Insert Data from One Room Table to Another in Android

When developing an Android app, you might find yourself needing to transfer data between different tables in a Room database. This is particularly common when managing items in a shopping cart by moving products from a product table into a cart table. In this guide, we'll walk through the solution step-by-step, ensuring you have a clear understanding of how to implement this in your app.

The Problem

You've designed an application that retrieves product data from an API and saves it to a Room database. The products are displayed using a RecyclerView on your main screen. Now, the challenge is to implement a feature where you can move products from the RoomTable to the CartTable when a user clicks the "Add" button for each product.

Here is an outline of the entity classes involved:

Understanding The Solution

The key to solving the problem lies in how you insert the data. Let's break down the solution into clear, manageable steps.

1. Correct Naming Conventions

Make sure you understand that RoomTable and CartTable are not tables themselves; they are entity models in Room. This distinction may seem minor, but applying the correct terminology can help keep your code organized and clear.

2. Create a CartTable Instance

To move a product from RoomTable to CartTable, you need to create an instance of CartTable using the data from the selected RoomTable item. Specifically, you’ll want to initialize it with the title (and other data as needed) of the selected product.

Here’s how to instantiate a CartTable entry:

3. Insert the CartTable Instance to the DB

Once you have created your modelCart, the next step is to insert this instance into the database. You can do this using a function defined in your Data Access Object (DAO). To insert just one entry, modify your DAO function as follows:

4. Implementing the Add Button Logic

Finally, in your RecyclerView adapter, you need to set the click listener on the add product button. Your code will look something like this:

With this setup, every time the user hits the "Add" button on a product, that product will be added to the cart.

Conclusion

Transitioning data from one Room table to another might seem daunting at first, but with the right approach, it can certainly be simplified. By following the structured steps outlined above, you can ensure that your app handles data efficiently and elegantly.

In this guide, we've:

Corrected naming conventions and clarified the purpose of entity classes.

Provided a simple method for creating new instances of CartTable.

Demonstrated how to insert these instances into your Room database effectively.
