List the Bookmarked and Recently Played Content in Mobile App
Problem Statement:
User can can bookmark the content. Content/collections inside of other collections (include courses, textbooks etc.) can also be bookmarked.
User can see recently viewed content. Only leaf-node content that was actually PLAYED should be displayed in this row (not collections/books/courses etc.)
The display should be shown based on which was used latest by the current user.
Solution :
Create a new table called content_markers to store the bookmarked and online played content. Schema of the table will be as follows:
Column Name | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
identifier | text | content identifier |
data | text | Content json |
marker | integer | |
visibility | text | Default / Parent |
epoch_timestamp | integer | |
uid | text | User id |
Values for marker
00 - NONE (0)
01 - PREVIEWED (1)
10 - BOOKMARKED (2)
Will do the bitwise operation while storing and retrieving the value for marker.
OR - While storing the data
AND - While retrieving the data
SQLite Bitwise Operators:
Bitwise operator works on bits and performs bit-by-bit operation. Following is the truth table for & and |.
p | q | p&q | p|q |
|---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
A = 0001
B = 0010
-----------------
A|B = 0011
A&B = 0000
When to add the row in this table?
- When user bookmarks any content
- When user played any content
When to delete the row from this table?
- When user remove bookmark then check in content_access table that in content is not played than remove else not.
Query to get the bookmarked contents
Select * from content_markers where (marker&BOOKMARKED) == BOOKMARKED;Query to get the recently play contents
