RealmQuery (Realm 4.3.1)

java.lang.Object
- io.realm.RealmQuery<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the class of the objects to be queried.
```
public class RealmQuery<E>
extends Object
```
A RealmQuery encapsulates a query on a Realm or a RealmResults using the Builder pattern. The query is executed using either findAll() or findFirst().
The input to many of the query functions take a field name as String. Note that this is not type safe. If a RealmObject class is refactored care has to be taken to not break any queries.
A Realm is unordered, which means that there is no guarantee that querying a Realm will return the objects in the order they where inserted. Use findAllSorted(String) and similar methods if a specific order is required.
A RealmQuery cannot be passed between different threads.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`RealmQuery<E>`	`and()` Logical-and two conditions Realm automatically applies logical-and between all query statements, so this is intended only as a mean to increase readability.
`double`	`average(String fieldName)` Returns the average of a given field.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`beginGroup()` Begin grouping of conditions ("left parenthesis").
`RealmQuery<E>`	`beginsWith(String fieldName, String value)` Condition that the value of field begins with the specified string.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`beginsWith(String fieldName, String value, Case casing)` Condition that the value of field begins with the specified substring.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`between(String fieldName, Date from, Date to)` Between condition.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`between(String fieldName, double from, double to)` Between condition.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`between(String fieldName, float from, float to)` Between condition.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`between(String fieldName, int from, int to)` Between condition.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`between(String fieldName, long from, long to)` Between condition.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`contains(String fieldName, String value)` Condition that value of field contains the specified substring.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`contains(String fieldName, String value, Case casing)` Condition that value of field contains the specified substring.
`long`	`count()` Counts the number of objects that fulfill the query conditions.
`RealmResults<E>`	`distinct(String fieldName)` Deprecated. Since 4.3.0, now use `distinctValues(String)` then `findAll()` Returns a distinct set of objects of a specific class. If the result is sorted, the first object will be returned in case of multiple occurrences, otherwise it is undefined which object is returned. Adding `Index` to the corresponding field will make this operation much faster.
`RealmResults<E>`	`distinct(String firstFieldName, String... remainingFieldNames)` Deprecated. Since 4.3.0, now use `distinctValues(String, String[])` then `findAll()` Returns a distinct set of objects from a specific class. When multiple distinct fields are given, all unique combinations of values in the fields will be returned. In case of multiple matches, it is undefined which object is returned. Unless the result is sorted, then the first object will be returned.
`RealmResults<E>`	`distinctAsync(String fieldName)` Deprecated. Since 4.3.0, now use `distinctValues(String)` then `findAllAsync()` Asynchronously returns a distinct set of objects of a specific class. If the result is sorted, the first object will be returned in case of multiple occurrences, otherwise it is undefined which object is returned. Adding `Index` to the corresponding field will make this operation much faster.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`distinctValues(String fieldName)` BETA API: Will be renamed to `distinct` in next major release.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`distinctValues(String firstFieldName, String... remainingFieldNames)` BETA API: Will be renamed to `distinct` in next major release.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`endGroup()` End grouping of conditions ("right parenthesis") which was opened by a call to `beginGroup()`.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`endsWith(String fieldName, String value)` Condition that the value of field ends with the specified string.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`endsWith(String fieldName, String value, Case casing)` Condition that the value of field ends with the specified substring.
`RealmQuery<E>`	`equalTo(String fieldName, Boolean value)` Equal-to comparison.

```
    Similar to findFirst() but runs asynchronously on a worker thread. An listener should be registered to the returned RealmObject to get the notification when query completes. The registered listener will also be triggered if there are changes made to the queried RealmObject. If the RealmObject is deleted, the listener will be called one last time and then stop. The query will not be re-run.
    
    Returns:
    
    immediately an empty RealmObject with isLoaded() == false. Trying to access any field on the returned object before it is loaded will throw an IllegalStateException.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if this is called on a non-looper thread.
