public abstract class RealmObject extends java.lang.Object implements RealmModel
An annotation processor will create a proxy class for your RealmObject subclass.
The following field data types are supported:
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. When providing custom constructors, a public constructor with no arguments must be declared and be empty.
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.

RealmQuery.findFirstAsync() return an RealmObject that represents the future result
of the RealmQuery. It can be considered similar to a Future in this regard.
Once isLoaded() returns true, the object represents the query result even if the query
didn't find any object matching the query parameters. In this case the RealmObject will
become a "null" object.
"Null" objects represents null. An exception is throw if any accessor is called, so it is important to also
check isValid() before calling any methods. A common pattern is:
Person person = realm.where(Person.class).findFirstAsync();
person.isLoaded(); // == false
person.addChangeListener(new RealmChangeListener() {
\@Override
public void onChange(Person person) {
person.isLoaded(); // Always true here
if (person.isValid()) {
// It is safe to access the person.
}
}
});
Synchronous RealmObjects are by definition blocking hence this method will always return true for them.
This method will return true if called on an unmanaged object (created outside of Realm).true if the query has completed, false if the query is in

onComplete will never be called.
When 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
Note that when the Realm is accessed from threads other than where it was created,
IllegalStateException will be thrown. Care should be taken when using different schedulers
with subscribeOn() and observeOn(). Consider using Realm.where().find*Async()
instead.
