Realm (Realm 6.1.0)

java.lang.Object
- io.realm.Realm

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable
```
public class Realm
extends Object
```
The Realm class is the storage and transactional manager of your object persistent store. It is in charge of creating instances of your RealmObjects. Objects within a Realm can be queried and read at any time. Creating, modifying, and deleting objects must be done while inside a transaction. See executeTransaction(Transaction)
The transactions ensure that multiple instances (on multiple threads) can access the same objects in a consistent state with full ACID guarantees.
It is important to remember to call the close() method when done with a Realm instance. Failing to do so can lead to OutOfMemoryError as the native resources cannot be freed.
Realm instances cannot be used across different threads. This means that you have to open an instance on each thread you want to use Realm. Realm instances are cached automatically per thread using reference counting, so as long as the reference count doesn't reach zero, calling getInstance(RealmConfiguration) will just return the cached Realm and should be considered a lightweight operation.
For the UI thread this means that opening and closing Realms should occur in either onCreate/onDestroy or onStart/onStop.
Realm instances coordinate their state across threads using the Handler mechanism. This also means that Realm instances on threads without a Looper cannot receive updates unless waitForChange() is manually called.
A standard pattern for working with Realm in Android activities can be seen below:
```
 public class RealmApplication extends Application {

     \@Override
     public void onCreate() {
         super.onCreate();

         // The Realm file will be located in package's "files" directory.
         RealmConfiguration realmConfig = new RealmConfiguration.Builder(this).build();
         Realm.setDefaultConfiguration(realmConfig);
     }
 }

 public class RealmActivity extends Activity {

   private Realm realm;

   \@Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     setContentView(R.layout.layout_main);
     realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
   }

   \@Override
   protected void onDestroy() {
     super.onDestroy();
     realm.close();
   }
 }
 
```
Realm supports String and byte fields containing up to 16 MB.

  - asFlowable
```
public <any> asFlowable()
```
    Returns an RxJava Flowable that monitors changes to this Realm. It will emit the current state when subscribed to. Items will continually be emitted as the Realm is updated - onComplete will never be called.
    If you would like the asFlowable() to stop emitting items, you can instruct RxJava to only emit only the first item by using the first() operator:
```
 
 realm.asFlowable().first().subscribe( ... ) // You only get the results once
 
 
```
    Returns:
    
    RxJava Observable that only calls onNext. It will never call onComplete or OnError.

```
    Instantiates and adds a new object to the Realm with the primary key value already set.
    If the value violates the primary key constraint, no object will be added and a RealmException will be thrown. The default value for primary key provided by the model class will be ignored.
    
    Parameters:
    
    clazz - the Class of the object to create.
    
    primaryKeyValue - value for the primary key field.
    
    Returns:

  - insert
```
public void insert(Collection<? extends RealmModel> objects)
```
    Inserts a list of an unmanaged RealmObjects. This is generally faster than copyToRealm(Iterable, ImportFlag...) since it doesn't return the inserted elements, and performs minimum allocations and checks. After being inserted any changes to the original objects will not be persisted.
    Please note:
    - We don't check if the provided objects are already managed or not, so inserting a managed object might duplicate it. Duplication will only happen if the object doesn't have a primary key. Objects with primary keys will never get duplicated.
    - We don't create (nor return) a managed RealmObject for each element
    - Copying an object will copy all field values. Any unset field in the object and child objects will be set to their default value if not provided
    If you want the managed RealmObject returned, use copyToRealm(Iterable, ImportFlag...), otherwise if you have a large number of object this method is generally faster.
    Parameters:
    
    objects - RealmObjects to insert.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if the corresponding Realm is closed, called from an incorrect thread or not in a transaction.

public <E extends RealmModel> List<E> copyFromRealm(Iterable<E> realmObjects)
```
    Makes an unmanaged in-memory copy of already persisted RealmObjects. This is a deep copy that will copy all referenced objects.
    The copied objects are all detached from Realm and they will no longer be automatically updated. This means that the copied objects might contain data that are no longer consistent with other managed Realm objects.
    *WARNING*: Any changes to copied objects can be merged back into Realm using copyToRealmOrUpdate(RealmModel, ImportFlag...), but all fields will be overridden, not just those that were changed. This includes references to other objects, and can potentially override changes made by other threads. This behaviour can be modified using ImportFlags.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    E - type of object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    realmObjects - RealmObjects to copy.

    WARNING: For synchronized Realm, there is a chance that an internal Realm instance on the background thread is not closed even all the user controlled Realm instances are closed. This will result an IllegalStateException. See issue https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/5416 .
    
    Parameters:
    
    configuration - a RealmConfiguration.
    
    Returns:
    
    false if the Realm file could not be deleted. Temporary files deletion failure won't impact the return value. All of the failing file deletions will be logged.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if there are Realm instances opened on other threads or other processes.
  - compactRealm
```
public static boolean compactRealm(RealmConfiguration configuration)
```
    Compacts a Realm file. A Realm file usually contain free/unused space. This method removes this free space and the file size is thereby reduced. Objects within the Realm files are untouched.
    The file must be closed before this method is called, otherwise false will be returned.
    The file system should have free space for at least a copy of the Realm file.
    The Realm file is left untouched if any file operation fails.
    
    Parameters:
    
    configuration - a RealmConfiguration pointing to a Realm file.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if successful, false if any file operation failed.
  - unsubscribeAsync
```
public RealmAsyncTask unsubscribeAsync(String subscriptionName,
                                       Realm.UnsubscribeCallback callback)
```
    Cancel a named subscription that was created by calling RealmQuery.findAllAsync(String). If after this, some objects are no longer part of any active subscription they will be removed locally from the device (but not on the server). The effect of unsubscribing is not immediate. The local Realm must coordinate with the Object Server before this can happen. A successful callback just indicate that the request was succesfully enqueued and any data will be removed as soon as possible. When the data is actually removed locally, a standard change notification will be triggered and from the perspective of the device it will look like the data was deleted.
    
    Parameters:
    
    subscriptionName - name of the subscription to remove
    
    callback - callback reporting back if the intent to unsubscribe was enqueued successfully or failed.
    
    Returns:
    
    a RealmAsyncTask representing a cancellable task.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if no subscriptionName or callback was provided.
    
    IllegalStateException - if called on a non-looper thread.
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the Realm is not a query-based synchronized Realm.

    number of open Realm instances on the caller thread.
  - setAutoRefresh
```
public void setAutoRefresh(boolean autoRefresh)
```
    Sets the auto-refresh status of the Realm instance.
    Auto-refresh is a feature that enables automatic update of the current Realm instance and all its derived objects (RealmResults and RealmObject instances) when a commit is performed on a Realm acting on the same file in another thread. This feature is only available if the Realm instance lives on a Looper enabled thread.
    
    Parameters:
    
    autoRefresh - true will turn auto-refresh on, false will turn it off.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called from a non-Looper thread.
  - isAutoRefresh
```
public boolean isAutoRefresh()
```
    Retrieves the auto-refresh status of the Realm instance.
    
    Returns:
    
    the auto-refresh status.
  - refresh
```
public void refresh()
```
    Refreshes the Realm instance and all the RealmResults and RealmObjects instances coming from it. It also calls any listeners associated with the Realm if neeeded.
    WARNING: Calling this on a thread with async queries will turn those queries into synchronous queries. In most cases it is better to use RealmChangeListeners to be notified about changes to the Realm on a given thread than it is to use this method.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if attempting to refresh from within a transaction.
  - isInTransaction
```
public boolean isInTransaction()
```
    Checks if the Realm is currently in a transaction.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if inside a transaction, false otherwise.
  - writeCopyTo
```
public void writeCopyTo(File destination)
```
    Writes a compacted copy of the Realm to the given destination File.
    The destination file cannot already exist.
    Note that if this is called from within a transaction it writes the current data, and not the data as it was when the last transaction was committed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    destination - file to save the Realm to.
    
    Throws:
    
    RealmFileException - if an error happened when accessing the underlying Realm file or writing to the destination file.
  - writeEncryptedCopyTo
```
public void writeEncryptedCopyTo(File destination,
                                 byte[] key)
```
    Writes a compacted and encrypted copy of the Realm to the given destination File.
    The destination file cannot already exist.
    Note that if this is called from within a transaction it writes the current data, and not the data as it was when the last transaction was committed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    destination - file to save the Realm to.
    
    key - a 64-byte encryption key.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if destination argument is null.
    
    RealmFileException - if an error happened when accessing the underlying Realm file or writing to the destination file.
  - waitForChange
```
public boolean waitForChange()
```
    Blocks the current thread until new changes to the Realm are available or stopWaitForChange() is called from another thread. Once stopWaitForChange is called, all future calls to this method will return false immediately.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the Realm was updated to the latest version, false if it was cancelled by calling stopWaitForChange.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if calling this from within a transaction or from a Looper thread.
    
    RealmMigrationNeededException - on typed Realm if the latest version contains incompatible schema changes.
  - stopWaitForChange
```
public void stopWaitForChange()
```
    Makes any current waitForChange() return false immediately. Once this is called, all future calls to waitForChange will immediately return false.
    This method is thread-safe and should _only_ be called from another thread than the one that called waitForChange.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if the Realm instance has already been closed.
  - beginTransaction
```
public void beginTransaction()
```
    Starts a transaction which must be closed by BaseRealm.commitTransaction() or aborted by BaseRealm.cancelTransaction(). Transactions are used to atomically create, update and delete objects within a Realm.
    Before beginning a transaction, the Realm instance is updated to the latest version in order to include all changes from other threads. This update does not trigger any registered RealmChangeListener.
    It is therefore recommended to query for the items that should be modified from inside the transaction. Otherwise there is a risk that some of the results have been deleted or modified when the transaction begins.
```
 
 // Don't do this
 RealmResults<Person> persons = realm.where(Person.class).findAll();
 realm.beginTransaction();
 persons.first().setName("John");
 realm.commitTransaction();

 // Do this instead
 realm.beginTransaction();
 RealmResults<Person> persons = realm.where(Person.class).findAll();
 persons.first().setName("John");
 realm.commitTransaction();
 
 
```
    Notice: it is not possible to nest transactions. If you start a transaction within a transaction an exception is thrown.
    Throws:
    
    RealmMigrationNeededException - on typed Realm if the latest version contains incompatible schema changes.
  - commitTransaction
```
public void commitTransaction()
```
    All changes since BaseRealm.beginTransaction() are persisted to disk and the Realm reverts back to being read-only. An event is sent to notify all other Realm instances that a change has occurred. When the event is received, the other Realms will update their objects and RealmResults to reflect the changes from this commit.
  - cancelTransaction
```
public void cancelTransaction()
```
    Reverts all writes (created, updated, or deleted objects) made in the current write transaction and end the transaction.
    The Realm reverts back to read-only.
    Calling this when not in a transaction will throw an exception.
  - getPath
```
public String getPath()
```
    Returns the canonical path to where this Realm is persisted on disk.
    
    Returns:
    
    the canonical path to the Realm file.
    
    See Also:

    Returns:
    
    the privileges granted the current user for this Realm.
  - getPrivileges
```
public ObjectPrivileges getPrivileges(RealmModel object)
```
    Returns the privileges granted to the current user for the given object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - Realm object to get privileges for.
    
    Returns:
    
    the privileges granted the current user for the object.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the object is either null, unmanaged or not part of this Realm.
  - close
```
public void close()
```
    Closes the Realm instance and all its resources.
    It's important to always remember to close Realm instances when you're done with it in order not to leak memory, file descriptors or grow the size of Realm file out of measure.
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface Closeable
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface AutoCloseable
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if attempting to close from another thread.
  - isClosed
```
public boolean isClosed()
```
    Checks if the Realm instance has already been closed.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if closed, false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if attempting to close from another thread.
  - deleteAll
```
public void deleteAll()
```
    Deletes all objects from this Realm.
    If the Realm is a partially synchronized Realm, all subscriptions will be cleared as well.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if the corresponding Realm is a partially synchronized Realm, is closed or called from an incorrect thread.
