SQLite多线程读写
前天去某某公司面试，被问到SQLite的多线程读写问题，突然发现都没注意到这个问题，翻了下以前做的项目，发现很少注意到这个问题，奇葩的是貌似很少出现过问题啊 = =！但是这个android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: database is locked异常确实前几天在公司项目中出现过几次，后来就进行了研究总结，现在分享出来，水平有限，不妥或者错误的地方还望指出。
SQLite实质上是将数据写入一个文件，通常情况下，在应用的包名下面都能找到xxx.db的文件，拥有root权限的手机，可以通过adb shell，看到data/data/packagename/databases/xxx.db这样的文件。我们可以联系到另外一个关系型数据库H2，其实两者还是有很多相似的地方的，此处就不详细介绍H2了。
由此我们可以得知SQLite其实是文件级别的锁：多个线程可以同时读，但是同时只能有一个线程写。Android提供了SqliteOpenHelper类，加入Java的锁机制以便调用。如果多线程同时读写（注意：指的是不同的线程用使用不同的SqliteOpenHelper实例），后面的操作就会遇到android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: database is locked这样的异常。很显然，解决这种问题就必须保持SQLite Connection的单例性，即保持始终只有一个SQLite连接实例，并且需要对所有的数据库操作方法加sychronized关键字，如下代码：
public class MyDatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
public static final String TAG = "MyDatabaseHelper";
private static final String DB_NAME = "test.db";
private static final int DB_VERSION = 1;
private Context mContext;
private static MyDatabaseHelper mInstance;
private MyDatabaseHelper(Context context) {
super(context, DB_NAME, null, DB_VERSION);
}
public synchronized static MyDatabaseHelper getInstance(Context context) {
if (mInstance == null) {
mInstance = new MyDatabaseHelper(context);
}
return mInstance;
}
public synchronized static void destoryInstance() {
if (mInstance != null) {
mInstance.close();
}
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public synchronized void queryMethod() {
SQLiteDatabase readableDatabase = getReadableDatabase();
//read operation
}
public synchronized void updateMethod() {
SQLiteDatabase writableDatabase = getWritableDatabase();
//update operation
}
