Add mapping to lists of objects

While using this library I constantly find myself repeating this over and over again:

      Cursor cursor = dbHelper.getReadableDatabase()
        .rawQuery(SomeModel.SELECT_SOMETHING);
      List<SomeModel> models = new ArrayList<>(cursor.getCount());
      while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
        models.add(SomeModel.MAPPER.map(cursor));
      }
      cursor.close();
      return models;

Do you plan on introducing something like LIST_MAPPER.map(cursor) or any utility function which would do the same? Of course, I could introduce my own helper in my codebase, but I thought it might be such a common pattern that library might have it too. Or do I miss something here?

QueryObservable.mapToList (or Query.mapToList). We use it with Retrolambda/Jack so that you can use a method reference:

db.createQuery(…) .mapToList(User.MAPPER::map) .subscribe(…)

What’s that convenience method in SQLBrite? I use the two of these libraries together and ended up writing my own util method. Didn’t realize one was built-in.

I’m gonna close this for now. In the future we’ll probably have tighter links between SQLDelight and SQLBrite but at least for we’ll keep functionality separate between them
