Hi,

I'm using AA with ORMLite on all my applications. I miss an annotation to declare an ORMLIte DAO in my activites / services / beans.
I would like to have something like that :

@EActivity(R.layout.main)
public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    @OrmLiteDao(model = User.class, helper = DatabaseHelper.class)
    protected UserDao userDao;

}

I'm already working on it but I'd like to have your thoughts on the issue or some advices if you have any.

Thanks,
Johan

    This is interesting. What would the generated code look like ?

    Currently, it looks like this from a EBean annoted class :

    @SuppressWarnings("all")
private void init_() {
    if (context_ instanceof Activity) {
        Activity activity = ((Activity) context_);
    }
    ConnectionSource connection_source_;
    connection_source_ = OpenHelperManager.getHelper(context_, DatabaseHelper.class).getConnectionSource();
    try {
        userDao = DaoManager.createDao(connection_source_, User.class);
    } catch (SQLException _x) {
    }
}

    Ok, interesting. One thing I don't get though : what is UserDao exactly ? How does DaoManager.createDao knows it should return a UserDao (You give it User.class, not UserDao.class)? I haven't used ORMLite so I'm probably missing something here.

    UserDao is an interface extending the ORMLite Dao<T, ID> class which is created with the DaoManager.
    If you want your own methods in your DAO, you have to extend the Dao created by ORMLite.

    Ok, I got it, just had a look at [DaoManager.createDao()](http://ormlite.com/javadoc/ormlite-core/com/j256/ormlite/dao/DaoManager.html#createDao(com.j256.ormlite.support.ConnectionSource, java.lang.Class) and saw that it has a parameterized return type that extends Dao parameterized with the input class. This explains the uneeded cast.

    I guess AA validator should check that UserDao extends Dao parameterized with User.

    Yes indeed. I have some work to do on the validator.
