createDynamicIndex

Define a database index for an entity set. Must not be called after the local database has been opened. Actual creation of the index is deferred until the local database is opened. This function differs from {@link com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.CloudSyncProvider#createIndex(com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.EntitySet, com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.PropertyPath, com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.PropertyPath...) CloudSyncProvider.createIndex} by accepting string-typed parameters. It is applicable even when {@link com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.CloudSyncProvider#metadata CloudSyncProvider.metadata} is not yet available.

See Also:

{@link com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.CloudSyncProvider#open() CloudSyncProvider.open}, {@link com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.EntitySet#indexes EntitySet.indexes}, {@link com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.CloudSyncProvider#createIndex(com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.EntitySet, com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.PropertyPath, com.sap.cloud.mobile.kotlin.odata.PropertyPath...) CloudSyncProvider.createIndex}.

Example using proxy classes:

open fun setupService(): kotlin.Unit
{
    val online = OnlineODataProvider("HealthService",
        "http://health.example.com:8080");
    val database = SQLDatabaseProvider("HealthDB", "jdbc:h2:~/health.h2");
    val offline = CloudSyncProvider(online, database);
    offline.encryptionKey = this.dbEncryptionKey();
    offline.createIndex(HealthService.patients, Patient.dateOfBirth,
        Patient.lastName);
    val service = HealthService(offline);
    service.downloadInGroup("PatientGroup", HealthService.patients,
        HealthService.appointments);
    service.downloadInGroup("StaffGroup", HealthService.doctors,
        HealthService.nurses);
    this.healthService = service;
}
