πŸ’‘ What:

  • Wrapped the loop in storeReTrainedSms within a SQLite transaction.
  • Refactored updateInSms to accept an open SQLiteDatabase instance, preventing redundant initialization/uninitialization inside the loop.
  • Added DatabaseBridgePerformanceTest.java to measure performance (and verify correctness).
  • Fixed ExampleInstrumentedTest.java to use correct AndroidX imports.

🎯 Why:

  • The previous implementation performed an individual database update for each SMS in the list. This "N+1" pattern is highly inefficient due to transaction overhead (fsync) for each operation.
  • Using a single transaction for the batch reduces I/O significantly, likely improving performance by orders of magnitude for large lists.

πŸ“Š Measured Improvement:

  • A benchmark test DatabaseBridgePerformanceTest was added.
  • Note: Benchmark execution requires a connected Android device or emulator, which was not available in this environment. However, the optimization (Batch Transaction vs Individual Updates) is a standard and well-proven pattern for SQLite performance.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 10253757382311930345 started by @xRahul

- Refactor `storeReTrainedSms` to use a single SQLite transaction for all updates, eliminating N+1 update overhead.
- Create `updateInSms(SQLiteDatabase, ...)` to support transactional updates without re-initializing the DB connection.
- Add `DatabaseBridgePerformanceTest.java` for benchmarking (requires connected device).
- Fix `ExampleInstrumentedTest` imports to use AndroidX.
