We are happy to announce greenDAO Version 3 today. Since its initial release 5 years ago, greenDAO has always been the fastest ORM for Android. It was also the first ORM to apply code generation for maximum performance. With greenDAO 3, we made code generation much more convenient: by adopting entity annotations you can drop the generator project. In its place comes the all new Gradle plugin, which automatically triggers code generation at build time. Like that, you can simply use greenDAO 3 annotations on your entities:



@Entity public class User { @Id private Long id; private String name; // ... } 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 @Entity public class User { @Id private Long id ; private String name ; // ... }

In summary, now you can have both: best in class performance and convenience. We compiled a greenDAO 3 documentation page with the most important information including how to upgrade from greenDAO 2.

In the coming days, we will also publish some benchmarks and work on the documentation. Stay tuned and sign up for our newsletter:
