Not creating tables in Android Studio 2.0 beta 6

[ed-george]

I noticed today that after upgrading from Android Studio 2.0 beta 4 to beta 6, that SugarRecord tables are not being created through fresh app install, database migration through version change, database migration through database name change and all other methods.

I believe this is to do with the 'Instant Run' feature as disabling this seems to resolve the issue.

I am not sure if there is anything that can be done by Sugar resolve this, but as it is likely to crop up in future, I believe it should be added to the README or associated documentation to warn others.

Yes, this problem is generated by InstantRun feature. We will work to improve compatibility with this Android Studio 2 feature.

[ed-george]

Thanks for your response @jonisaa, is there any current work around that enables Instant Run to be enabled?

[JonatanSalas]

For the moment, I don't know a possible workaround to solve this trouble. Let me invest some time to find the root cause of the trouble and solve it.

I think the main problem is how InstantRun generate the .classes files and how It deploys to the running device.

I migrated from ActiveAndroid because it wasn't creating tables too. Glad someone pointed it out!

Any updates on this issue?

[jdochez]

The issue seems to be linked to this code :
https://github.com/satyan/sugar/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/orm/util/MultiDexHelper.java

in InstantRun mode, we do not deliver the dex files in the main APK but inside an instant-run.zip file located in the root on the APK.

so the code above should be adapted to iterate over the content of the instant-run.zip (which will be a bunch of dex files) and getAllClassNames from it.

If you need more information, please contact jedo@google.com

[chandu4ugandhi]

@firasalkafri Is there any update for this problem.. I am facing the same issue for not creating the table like this:

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table: FAVOURITE

[firaskafri]

@chandu4ugandhi I have submitted a pull request #559 with the solution and waiting for the repository's maintainers to review and merge it @sibeliusseraphini

[chandu4ugandhi]

@firasalkafri then it would be new version for the sugar library? if yes then what it would be? let me know asap... my whole app stuck due to this bug. I am not able to work further currently.

[firaskafri]

@chandu4ugandhi You either wait for the next release or use the library from source code including my changes.

[chandu4ugandhi]

@firasalkafri can you give me the link of your changed library so i can use as source code in my app.

[ed-george]

@chandu4ugandhi please see #536 - There is discussions around a temporary work around through disabling the Instant Run feature.

[firaskafri]

@ed-george I'm talking about a solution, no need for work arounds.

[chandu4ugandhi]

@ed-george how to disable the instant run feature in android studio

[chandu4ugandhi]

@firasalkafri how to use the source code as library to my app that I downloaded from the url that you given.

[firaskafri]

@chandu4ugandhi Simple, just read the documentation. And in your case I recommend using the stable release of Android Studio if you can't handle canary ones.

[chandu4ugandhi]

@firasalkafri there is a line about the eclipse.. no android studio help... give me the proper link where it can help me to import the source code as library.
