My Xamarin app pulls data from an API and inserts that data into a SQLite table. The API currently has 9 tables defined, and as such there are 9 classes in my app that match those tables. I used the code snippet from this question's accepted answer: Getting all types in a namespace via reflection
Below is my code, using the snippet from the answer and the foreach loop I'm trying to build that'll insert the data.
string nspace = "App.Tables";
var q = from t in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes()
where t.IsClass && t.Namespace == nspace
select t.Name; // Getting list of classes as IEnumerable
var L = q.ToList(); // Converting to List
foreach (var name in L) // Inserts data for every class found
{
var response = await httpClient.Value.GetStringAsync("http://website.com/api/" + name + "s"); // Substitutes each class name into API url
var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<TableName>>(response); // Deserializes into List
using (SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLiteConnection(App.DatabaseLocation)) // Opens database connection
{
conn.CreateTable<TableName>(); // Create table
conn.DeleteAll<TableName>(); // Delete all old data
conn.InsertAll(data); // Inserts new data
}
}
I don't know what TableName should be in order to get the correct class for each item on the list. For example: say the list contained the strings Table1, Table2, and Table3 - it got those strings from the App.Tables namespace which contains three separate classes called Table1, Table2, and Table3. When the first part of the code gets the list and stores it as the variable L, it should get the data for each "name" variable in L and then insert it into the matching table. How do I refer it to the table?
