Best way to handle lists in cupboard (android library)

Question

Cupboard (https://bitbucket.org/qbusict/cupboard) is a very convinient library, but unfortunately it does not support mapping lists to the database and lists need to be handled by hand. But what is the way to handle them?

Answer 1

You can let Cupboard to the serializing for you by using a FieldConverter. I've recently released the cupboard-tools project that contains a FieldConverter that uses Gson to serialize and deserialize lists or other objects.
