Android Version Migrator

Android Version Migrator is a utility that allows you to define and execute the necessary logic during application updates.

For example, starting with Android 10, public storage can no longer be used. If the existing app used public storage, the files managed there need to be moved to app-specific storage. In such cases, this library executes the migration logic written by the developer and ensures that it is not executed multiple times.

How To Use

1. Extend VersionMigration

Extend VersionMigration to define the version code, failure policy, and migration logic.

The failure policy includes CONTINUE, which ignores the failure and proceeds with the next task, and STOP, which halts all migration tasks.

object V1 : VersionMigration {
    override val versionCode: Long = 1

    override val policy: VersionMigrationPolicy =
        VersionMigrationPolicy.CONTINUE // or VersionMigrationPolicy.STOP

    override suspend fun migrate(): Result<Unit> {
        return try {
            // Insert your migration logic.
            Result.success(Unit)

        } catch (e: Exception) {
            Result.failure(e)
        }
    }
}

2. Create Migrator

SequentialVersionMigrator is a migrator that executes registered VersionMigrations sequentially in ascending order of their versions.

val versionMigrator = SequentialVersionMigrator(
    context = applicationContext,
    versionMigrations = listOf(V1, V2, V3)
)

If SequentialVersionMigrator does not meet your requirements, you can create a new migrator by extending the VersionMigrator interface.

3. Execute migration

try {
    versionMigrator.migrate().getOrThrow()

} catch (e: Exception) {
    e.printStackTrace()

} catch (e: YourCustomException) {
    e.printStackTrace()
}

Note: Exceptions are thrown only if VersionMigrationPolicy.STOP is set.
