RealmObject (Realm 0.90.0)

java.lang.Object
- io.realm.RealmObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

RealmModel

Direct Known Subclasses:

DynamicRealmObject
```
public abstract class RealmObject
extends java.lang.Object
implements RealmModel
```
In Realm you define your RealmObject classes by sub-classing RealmObject and adding fields to be persisted. You then create your objects within a Realm, and use your custom subclasses instead of using the RealmObject class directly.
An annotation processor will create a proxy class for your RealmObject subclass.
The following field data types are supported:
- boolean/Boolean
- short/Short
- int/Integer
- long/Long
- float/Float
- double/Double
- byte[]
- String
- Date
- Any RealmObject subclass
- RealmList
The types short, int, and long are mapped to long when storing within a Realm.
The only restriction a RealmObject has is that fields are not allowed to be final, transient' or volatile. Any method as well as public fields are allowed.
Fields annotated with Ignore don't have these restrictions and don't require either a getter or setter.
Realm will create indexes for fields annotated with Index. This will speedup queries but will have a negative impact on inserts and updates.
A RealmObject cannot be passed between different threads.

  - removeFromRealm
```
@Deprecated
public final void removeFromRealm()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    DEPRECATED: Use deleteFromRealm() instead. Removes the object from the Realm it is currently associated to.
    After this method is called the object will be invalid and any operation (read or write) performed on it will fail with an IllegalStateException
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the corresponding Realm is closed or in an incorrect thread.
  - deleteFromRealm
```
public final void deleteFromRealm()
```
    Deletes the object from the Realm it is currently associated to.
    After this method is called the object will be invalid and any operation (read or write) performed on it will fail with an IllegalStateException.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the corresponding Realm is closed or in an incorrect thread.

    isValid()
  - deleteFromRealm
```
public static <E extends RealmModel> void deleteFromRealm(E object)
```
    Deletes the object from the Realm it is currently associated with.
    After this method is called the object will be invalid and any operation (read or write) performed on it will fail with an IllegalStateException.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the corresponding Realm is closed or in an incorrect thread.
    
    See Also:
    
    isValid()
  - isValid
```
public final boolean isValid()
```
    Checks if the RealmObject is still valid to use i.e. the RealmObject hasn't been deleted nor has the Realm been closed. It will always return false for stand alone objects.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the object is still accessible, false otherwise or if it is a standalone object.
  - isValid
```
public static <E extends RealmModel> boolean isValid(E object)
```
    Checks if the RealmObject is still valid to use i.e. the RealmObject hasn't been deleted nor has the Realm been closed. It will always return false for stand alone objects.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - RealmObject to check validity for.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the object is still accessible, false otherwise or if it is a standalone object.
  - isLoaded
```
public final boolean isLoaded()
```
    Determines if the current RealmObject is obtained synchronously or asynchronously (from a worker thread). Synchronous RealmObjects are by definition blocking hence this method will always return true for them. This will return true if called for a standalone object (created outside of Realm).
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the query has completed and the data is available false if the query is in progress.
  - isLoaded
```
public static <E extends RealmModel> boolean isLoaded(E object)
```
    Determines if the RealmObject is obtained synchronously or asynchronously (from a worker thread). Synchronous RealmObjects are by definition blocking hence this method will always return true for them. This will return true if called for a standalone object (created outside of Realm).
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - RealmObject to check.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the query has completed and the data is available false if the query is in progress.
  - load
```
public final boolean load()
```
    Makes an asynchronous query blocking. This will also trigger any registered listeners. Note: This will return true if called for a standalone object (created outside of Realm).
    
    Returns:
    
    true if it successfully completed the query, false otherwise.
  - load
```
public static <E extends RealmModel> boolean load(E object)
```
    Makes an asynchronous query blocking. This will also trigger any registered listeners. Note: This will return true if called for a standalone object (created outside of Realm).
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - RealmObject to force load.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if it successfully completed the query, false otherwise.
  - addChangeListener

```
    Adds a change listener to this RealmObject.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the change listener to be notified.

```
    Adds a change listener to a RealmObject.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - RealmObject to add listener to.
    
    listener - the change listener to be notified.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if object is an un-managed RealmObject.
  - removeChangeListener
```
public final void removeChangeListener(RealmChangeListener listener)
```
    Removes a previously registered listener.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the instance to be removed.
  - removeChangeListener
```
public static <E extends RealmModel> void removeChangeListener(E object,
                                                               RealmChangeListener listener)
```
    Removes a previously registered listener on the given RealmObject.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - RealmObject to remove listener from.
    
    listener - the instance to be removed.
  - removeChangeListeners
```
public final void removeChangeListeners()
```
    Removes all registered listeners.
  - removeChangeListeners
```
public static <E extends RealmModel> void removeChangeListeners(E object)

    Removes all registered listeners from the given RealmObject.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - RealmObject to remove all listeners from.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if object is null or isn't managed by Realm.
  - asObservable
```
public final <E extends RealmObject> <any> asObservable()
```
    Returns an RxJava Observable that monitors changes to this RealmObject. It will emit the current object when subscribed to. Object updates will continually be emitted as the RealmObject is updated - onComplete will never be called. If chaining a RealmObject observable use obj.<MyRealmObjectClass>asObservable() to pass on type information, otherwise the type of the following observables will be RealmObject. If you would like the asObservable() to stop emitting items you can instruct RxJava to only emit only the first item by using the first() operator:
```
 
 obj.asObservable()
      .filter(obj -> obj.isLoaded())
      .first()
      .subscribe( ... ) // You only get the object once
 
 
```
    Type Parameters:
    
    E - RealmObject class that is being observed. Must be this class or its super types.
    
    Returns:
    
    RxJava Observable that only calls onNext. It will never call onComplete or OnError.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the required RxJava framework is not on the classpath or the corresponding Realm instance doesn't support RxJava.
