Xamarin.Forms using SQLite.Net.Async - sqlite

Question

I have followed the instructions here http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/xamarin-forms/working-with/databases/ - to connect to the SQLite database synchronously.
public SQLiteConnection GetConnection()
{
var dbFilname = "localDB.db3";
string docsPath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
var path = Path.Combine(docsPath, dbFilname);
var plat = new SQLitePlatformAndroid();
var conn = new SQLiteConnection(plat, path);
return conn;
}
I want to change it to an asynchronous connection (SQLiteAsyncConnection) but can't get it to work.
According to the instructions here - https://components.xamarin.com/gettingstarted/sqlite-net -it just needs the path as a parameter
var conn = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(path);
that doesn't work, the error says that the parameters expected are:
a connection function, a TaskScheduler and TaskCreationOptions
I have no idea what to do and have not been able to find any examples that work.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You could simply reuse the GetConnection method you already have and create async connection like this:
var asyncDb = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(() => GetConnection());

Answer 2

Xamarin Platforms Android Config, iOS and WP basicaly equal
public SQLiteAsyncConnection GetConnectionAsync()
{
const string fileName = "MyDB.db3";
var documentsPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
var path = Path.Combine(documentsPath, fileName);
var platform = new SQLitePlatformAndroid();
var param = new SQLiteConnectionString(path, false);
var connection = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(() => new SQLiteConnectionWithLock(platform, param));
return connection;
}
