📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change refactors database lifecycle handling, replaces SQLCipher probing with header inspection, adds corruption backups, updates database call sites, excludes databases from automatic backup, and adds tests and repository guidance.

Changes

Database lifecycle and recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Database detection and corruption recovery
app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/*, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/security/*, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/backup/ExportExtensions.kt, app/src/main/res/xml/*
Database state detection reads the first 16 bytes. Corruption handling backs up database files before throwing. Backup folders are exposed through the provider configuration.
Database instance lifecycle and call-site updates
app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/NotallyDatabase.kt, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/presentation/*, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/*
Database access uses a main-thread API without observePreferences. Storage and encryption changes clear, recreate, and republish database instances. Related callers use the updated API.
Raw database export and error handling
app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/IOExtensions.kt, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/backup/ExportExtensions.kt, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/ErrorActivity.kt, app/src/main/res/layout/*, app/src/main/res/values/*
Raw database files are copied to timestamped backup folders, limited to four folders, and exposed through the system file picker. Error messages and crash handling describe the raw database export.
Corruption validation and repository support
app/src/test/kotlin/*, AGENTS.md, .gitignore, gradle.properties, crashes.txt
Tests cover header detection, database corruption, file deletion, file preservation, and attachment preservation. Repository guidance, tooling settings, an ignore rule, and crash traces were added.

In
`@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory.kt`:
- Line 72: Update the corruption handler override in
NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory to invoke delegate.onCorruption(db) in a finally
block after attempting the backup, ensuring the callback runs even when backup
handling fails and preserving the framework’s corruption cleanup.
- Around line 21-23: Update the Kotlin formatting contract by aligning the
2-space indentation requirement in AGENTS.md with the ktfmt configuration in
app/build.gradle.kts, which currently uses kotlinLangStyle() and 4-space
indentation. Adjust the configuration or documented requirement consistently
before changing formatting in NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory.create.
- Around line 48-58: Update the target-directory selection in
NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory.onCorruption so the external backup directory is
used only when it exists as a directory and is writable; otherwise select
filesDir/corrupted_backups. Preserve the existing directory-creation attempt and
fallback behavior, but validate the resulting File before assigning it to
targetDir.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/NotallyDatabase.kt`:
- Around line 114-115: Update clearInstance() to clear the instance holder after
closing the current database, ensuring a later getDatabase() call creates and
publishes a fresh database instead of returning the closed value. Preserve the
existing close behavior and coordinate with postInstance() as needed for safe
recreation.

In
`@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/presentation/viewmodel/BaseNoteModel.kt`:
- Line 267: Update enableBiometricLock() and disableBiometricLock() to make each
biometric transition failure-safe: snapshot the original database file and all
modified preferences before changing state, restore both snapshots when
encryption, validation, or file replacement fails, and ensure overwrite failures
also trigger the existing backup restoration path. Keep the successful
transition behavior unchanged and continue clearing the database holder via
NotallyDatabase.clearInstance().

In
`@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/AutoRemoveDeletedNotesWorker.kt`:
- Line 45: Move database retrieval to the main thread at all four call sites: in
AutoRemoveDeletedNotesWorker.kt line 45 and CleanupMissingAttachmentsWorker.kt
line 28, wrap retrieval with withContext(Dispatchers.Main); in
ExportExtensions.kt line 569, retrieve the database on the main thread before
backup I/O; and in ImportExtensions.kt line 291, retrieve it on the main thread
before DAO work. Preserve the existing background work after retrieval.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/DataSchemaMigrations.kt`:
- Line 83: Restrict the catch around dao.get(id) to explicit, repairable
corruption exceptions that prove the note body requires repair before deletion.
Ensure cancellation and unexpected database, transient, or converter failures
are rethrown rather than sent through the repair-and-delete path, while
preserving the existing handling for confirmed oversized or corrupted bodies.
- Line 72: Update runMigrations so NotallyDatabase.getDatabase(...).value
executes on Dispatchers.Main, then resume splitOversizedNotes and the remaining
migration work on Dispatchers.IO. Preserve the existing database context and
migration behavior.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/IOExtensions.kt`:
- Line 365: Update ContextWrapper.getLogsDir and the private
ContextWrapper.getExternalMediaDirectory overload so logs use the
fallback-capable media-directory implementation. Remove the duplicate overload
or delegate it to the fallback implementation, avoiding requireNotNull when
external media is unavailable.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/security/SQLCipherUtils.java`:

encrypted returns an unknown or corrupted state instead of State.ENCRYPTED.

alter encryption preferences based solely on this classification; only update
those preferences after encrypted opening succeeds.

Continue corruption handling after the backup.

Call delegate.onCorruption(db) after the backup attempt. The current override suppresses the framework callback. The corrupted files remain active, so each database open can fail again.

Use finally so backup failures do not suppress the delegate callback.

Use the media-directory fallback for logs.

This call resolves to the more-specific private ContextWrapper.getExternalMediaDirectory() at Lines 373-379. That overload uses requireNotNull(externalMediaDirs.firstOrNull()), so getLogsDir() still fails when external media is unavailable.

Remove the duplicate overload or delegate it to the new fallback implementation.

Do not classify every invalid SQLite header as encrypted.

A corrupted plaintext database also lacks "SQLite format 3". This branch classifies it as encrypted. NotallyDatabase.createInstance() then enables biometric locking and attempts SQLCipher initialization instead of opening the database through the corruption-recovery path.

Represent this result as unknown or corrupted. Do not change encryption preferences until encrypted opening succeeds.

Report database-copy failures to the caller.

This catch only logs the failure, and backupDatabaseFiles() still returns the target directory. ErrorActivity then tells the user that all raw database files are available there. A full device or an I/O error can therefore leave an incomplete recovery backup without user feedback.

Return the failed files or a failure result. Show an error dialog before claiming that the backup is available.

Based on learnings, provide user feedback using showToast, showSnackbar, or error dialogs.

- Around line 51-53: Update the ktfmt configuration in app/build.gradle.kts from
kotlinLangStyle() to a 2-space style such as googleStyle(), then run ktfmtFormat
so NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory.kt and other Kotlin sources receive the
required indentation.

- Around line 79-80: Initialize backupPath before setupExportBackup registers
callbacks, or provide a valid fallback until application.backupDatabaseFiles()
completes, so the export failure handler can safely read it without triggering
UninitializedPropertyAccessException.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/IOExtensions.kt`:
- Around line 222-226: Update openExternalMediaFolder around relativePath and
documentId to handle backup directories outside primary external storage,
including filesDir/backups and secondary-volume roots. Avoid constructing a
hardcoded primary SAF document ID for non-primary paths; use a URI mechanism
matching the file’s actual root or route internal backups through the system
file picker while preserving direct SAF URI creation for valid primary-storage
paths.

Align ktfmt with the required indentation before formatting.

AGENTS.md requires 2-space Kotlin indentation, but app/build.gradle.kts configures kotlinLangStyle(). In plugin version 0.20.1, that style uses 4-space block and continuation indentation. Therefore, ktfmtFormat will not apply 2-space indentation to either cited site.

Change the configuration to a 2-space style, such as googleStyle(), then run ./gradlew ktfmtFormat.

  • This closes the database but leaves it in the global instance, so every subsequent getDatabase() returns a closed handle until an asynchronous postInstance() happens. This is already deterministic in the changed biometric flows (clearInstance() followed by copyDatabase(), which checkpoints getDatabase().value) and in crash re-import (clearInstance() followed by importRawDatabase()), causing those operations to fail. Replace the close/post gap with an atomic maintenance/replacement API that never exposes a closed instance.
        fun clearInstance() {
            this.instance?.value?.close()

  • Catching every Exception turns unrelated failures—including cancellation, database-wide corruption, converter bugs, and I/O failures—into a destructive per-note repair path that can ultimately delete the note below. This migration should only mutate/delete for the specific oversized-row exception it can safely diagnose; rethrow cancellation and corruption/unknown failures so user data remains intact.

### Do's
- **Preserve Data Integrity**: Always safeguard user notes. Never drop tables destructively without valid migration paths.
- **Run Checkpoints Before DB Copy**: When exporting, backing up, or copying SQLite files, call `database.checkpointOrThrow()` to ensure the WAL is flushed.
Comment thread AGENTS.md
- **NO Blocking Main Thread**: Never invoke synchronous database queries, heavy regex, or file operations on the main thread.
- **NO Raw SQL Injections**: Use Room DAO annotations (`@Query`, `@Insert`, `@Update`, `@Delete`) or properly parameterised `SupportSQLiteQuery`.
- **NO Hardcoded Strings**: Use string resources (`R.string.*`) for all UI-visible text to preserve localization support across 30+ languages.
- **NO Direct Database File Edits Without Manager**: Do not manipulate SQLite files without going through `DatabaseManager` and `NotallyDatabase`.
