<br>
I’ve been recently going through the DataManager API in
aerogear-android. In this email, I’d like to suggest
addiction of two method (or possibly three) into the
`Store<T>` interface. These would be:<br>
<br>
```java<br>
/**<br>
* If store is open, it can be read or written to.<br>
*/<br>
boolean isOpen();<br>
<br>
/**<br>
* Opens store in current thread (blocking).<br>
*/<br>
Store<T> open();<br>
<br>
/**<br>
* Opens store in background thread and then
callback#onSuccess is called.<br>
*/<br>
void open(Callback<Store<T>> callback);<br>
```<br>

I think those are fine. Feel free to JIRA it up and Passos
and I will<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
review.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">From my point of view, this makes
sense to be in the `Store<T>` so I can switch
between stores easily during development with no need to
change other code. Also, if `read` or `write` operations
are done with closed store, there are two possible
workflows. First one is, that I’d fail and throw an
exception. Second (and for me a preferred one) is, that
all those methods would internally check if the store is
open and if not, they’d call the `open` method. This
also leads me to another API change for
`Store<T>`.<br>

```java<br>
/**<br>

void readAll(Callback<Collection<T>>
callback);<br>

/**<br>

void read(Serializable id, Callback<T> callback);<br>

That’s right, async methods for easy access to the storage
from background thread, without the pain of writing it
myself (for example, it makes no sense if I want to just
call `store.save(..)` and I’d have to write all the
`AsyncTask` boilerplate).<br>
<br>
So, what do you think?<br>

I would rather throw an exception than open a database when
you call<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
read and friends. That way a developer doesn't accidentally
open a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
database he meant to be closed. I don't have that strong of
a feeling on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
that point one way or another however.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>That’s right, it’s probably less error prone in scenarios
when you want the store closed.</div>

My stronger feeling is on adding callbacks to the stores
methods. I<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
prefer for the Store to be synchronous and Pipes to be

<div>Would “void open(Callback<Store<T>> callback);”
make sense then? I mean, that would add another inconsistency
in the API, as one method would be async and the rest would be
only synchronous, wouldn’t it?</div>

True. The reason for the exception here was that opening a SQL
store or an encrypted store COULD take significant amount of time.
For in Memory data stores this is instant of course.<br></div></blockquote><div>I understand, but that’s just an assumption. Let’s say that there’s a storage, that’d take an instant to load data from, but a lot of time to save data (like XML file based store). What’s the main reason to not have async “read”/“write” methods?</div><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
