Overview of this book

Do you want to create powerful, efficient, and independent apps from scratch that will leverage the Xamarin framework and code with C#? Well, look no further; you’ve come to the right place! This is a learn-as-you-build practical guide to building eight full-fledged applications using Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin Android, and Xamarin iOS. Each chapter includes a project, takes you through the process of building applications (such as a gallery Application, a text-to-speech service app, a GPS locator app, and a stock market app), and will show you how to deploy the application’s source code to a Google Cloud Source Repository. Other practical projects include a chat and a media-editing app, as well as other examples fit to adorn any developer’s utility belt. In the course of building applications, this book will teach you how to design and prototype professional-grade applications implementing performance and security considerations.

Building the ISQLiteStorage interface


Now we must set up another class, which  will be used to control the queries performed on the database. Add a new file called ISQLiteStorage.cs into the Storage folder and implement the following:

public interface ISQLiteStorage
    {
         void CreateSQLiteAsyncConnection();
         Task CreateTable<T>(CancellationToken token) where T : class, IStorable, new();
         Task InsertObject<T>(T item, CancellationToken token) where T : class, IStorable, new();
         Task<IList<T>> GetTable<T>(CancellationToken token) where T : class, IStorable, new();
         Task<T> GetObject<T>(string key, CancellationToken token) where T : class, IStorable, new();
         Task ClearTable<T>(CancellationToken token) where T : class, IStorable, new();
         Task DeleteObjectByKey<T>(string key, CancellationToken token) where T : class, IStorable, new();
         void CloseConnection();
    }
