Saving Single Object¶

Blocking API¶

Using Java Map

public Map Backendless.Data.of( "TABLE-NAME" ).save( Map entity ) throws BackendlessException

Custom Class

public <E> E Backendless.Data.of( E ).save( E entity ) throws BackendlessException

Non-Blocking API¶

Using Java Map

public void Backendless.Data.of( "TABLE-NAME" ).save( Map entity, AsyncCallback<Map> responder )

Custom Class

public <E> void Backendless.Data.of( E ).save( E entity, AsyncCallback<E> responder )

where:

Argument	Description
`TABLE-NAME`	Name of the table where the object represented by

.util.Map will be saved.

Argument	Description
`E`	Java class of the data object to save.
`entity`	Java object to persist, must be of type E or `java.util.Map` (depending on the method used).
`responder`	a responder object which will receive a callback when the method successfully saves the object or if an error occurs. Applies to the asynchronous method only.

Return Value¶

The synchronous method returns the saved object. The asynchronous call receives the return value through a callback executed on the AsyncCallback object.

Example¶

public void saveNewContact()
{
  HashMap contact = new HashMap();
  contact.put( "name", "Jack Daniels" );
  contact.put( "age", 147 );
  contact.put( "phone", "777-777-777" );
  contact.put( "title", "Favorites" );

  // save object synchronously
  Map savedContact = Backendless.Data.of( "Contact" ).save( contact );

  // save object asynchronously
  Backendless.Data.of( "Contact" ).save( contact, new AsyncCallback<Map>() {
      public void handleResponse( Map response )
      {
        // new Contact instance has been saved
      }

      public void handleFault( BackendlessFault fault )
      {
        // an error has occurred, the error code can be retrieved with fault.getCode()
      }
    });
}

Consider the following class:

package com.sample;

public class Contact
{
  private String objectId;
  private String name;
  private int age;
  private String phone;
  private String title;

  public String getObjectId() {
    return objectId;
  }

  public void setObjectId( String objectId ) {
    this.objectId = objectId;
  }

  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }

  public void setName( String name ) {
    this.name = name;
  }

  public int getAge() {
    return age;
  }

  public void setAge( int age ) {
    this.age = age;
  }

  public String getPhone() {
    return phone;
  }

  public void setPhone( String phone ) {
    this.phone = phone;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return title;
  }

  public void setTitle( String title ) {
    this.title = title;
  }
}

The following code saves a new instance of the Contact class:

public void saveNewContact()
{
  Contact contact = new Contact();
  contact.setName( "Jack Daniels" );
  contact.setAge( 147 );
  contact.setPhone( "777-777-777" );
  contact.setTitle( "Favorites" );

  // save object synchronously
  Contact savedContact = Backendless.Data.of( Contact.class).save( contact );

  // save object asynchronously
  Backendless.Data.of( Contact.class ).save( contact, new AsyncCallback<Contact>() {
      public void handleResponse( Contact response )
      {
        // new Contact instance has been saved
      }

      public void handleFault( BackendlessFault fault )
      {
        // an error has occurred, the error code can be retrieved with fault.getCode()
      }
    });
}
