Hey everyone, 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: ```java /** * If store is open, it can be read or written to. */ boolean isOpen(); /** * Opens store in current thread (blocking). */ Store<T> open(); /** * Opens store in background thread and then callback#onSuccess is called. */ void open(Callback<Store<T>> callback); ``` ```java /** * Reads all the data from the underlying storage system asynchronously. */ void readAll(Callback<Collection<T>> callback); /** * Reads a specific object/record from the underlying storage system asynchronously. */ void read(Serializable id, Callback<T> callback); /** * Search for objects/records from the underlying storage system asynchronously. */ void readWithFilter(ReadFilter filter, Callback<List<T>> callback); /** * Saves the given object in the underlying storage system asynchronously. */ void save(T item, Callback<Void> callback); /** * Resets the entire storage system asynchronously. */ void reset(Callback<Void> callback); /** * Removes a specific object/record from the underlying storage system asynchronously. */ void remove(Serializable id, Callback<Void> callback); /** * Checks if the storage system contains no stored elements asynchronously. */ void isEmpty(Callback<Boolean> callback); ``` 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). So, what do you think? PS: You can find the whole text with highlighted syntax here: — Tadeas Kriz tkriz(a)redhat.com
