Android - Couchbase lite - pull with filter - Repl

问题:

I'm working on a android messagerie app, messages are stored in a CouchDB(Apache) database on the internet. How can I pull messages with filter on my Android devices?

Android Snippet:

Replication pull = new Replication(messageDB, messageUrl, Replication.Direction.PULL);

//filter
pull.setFilter("message/by_username");
HashMap<String, Object> filterParams = new HashMap<>();
filterParams.put("username", usr);
pull.setFilterParams(filterParams);

pull.setContinuous(false); //oneshot
pull.start();

Apache design document:

{
  "_id": "_design/message",
  "views": {
    "by_username": {
      "map": "function (doc) {\n  emit([doc.username]);\n  \n}"
    }
  },
  "filters": {
    "by_username": "function(doc, req){ if(!doc.username) return false; if(req.query.username && req.query.username != doc.username){return false} else {return true}}"
  },
  "language": "javascript"
}

With the block filter, the synchronization will never stop but the database is always empty (I did not find any document after 3 minutes).

Without the block filter, all messages are downloaded in only few seconds. Thanks.

Filtered pull from CouchDB, PouchDB or Cloudant

Since Couchbase Lite 1.2, filter functions in pull replications with non-Couchbase databases are no longer available. There is an incompatibility in the way the filter parameter is handled in the POST /{db}/_changes request (see #1139).

There is however a workaround for working with couchbase lite 1.4 with couchdb 2.x server to working without any change in the library as mentioned above. Please refer to answer given here
