Class RealmSchema

java.lang.Object

io.realm.RealmSchema

public abstract class RealmSchema
extends Object

Class for interacting with the Realm schema. This makes it possible to inspect, add, delete and change the classes in the Realm.

Realm.getSchema() returns an immutable RealmSchema which can only be used for inspecting. Use DynamicRealm.getSchema() to get a mutable schema.

All changes must happen inside a write transaction for the particular Realm.

Method Detail

get

@Nullable
public abstract RealmObjectSchema get(String className)

Returns the RealmObjectSchema for a given class. If this RealmSchema is immutable, an immutable RealmObjectSchema will be returned. Otherwise, it returns a mutable RealmObjectSchema.

Parameters:

className - name of the class

Returns:

schema object for that class or null if the class doesn't exists.

getAll

public abstract Set<RealmObjectSchema> getAll()

Returns the RealmObjectSchemas for all RealmObject classes that can be saved in this Realm. If this RealmSchema is immutable, an immutable RealmObjectSchema set will be returned. Otherwise, it returns an mutable RealmObjectSchema set.

Returns:

the set of all classes in this Realm or no RealmObject classes can be saved in the Realm.

create

public abstract RealmObjectSchema create(String className)

Adds a new class to the Realm.

Parameters:

className - name of the class.

Returns:

a Realm schema object for that class.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this RealmSchema is immutable.

createWithPrimaryKeyField

public abstract RealmObjectSchema createWithPrimaryKeyField(String className,
                                                            String primaryKeyFieldName,
                                                            Class<?> fieldType,
                                                            FieldAttribute... attributes)

Adds a new class to the Realm with a primary key field defined.

primaryKeyFieldName - name of the primary key field.

fieldType - type of field to add. Only byte, short, int, long and their boxed types or the String is supported.

attributes - set of attributes for this field. This method implicitly adds FieldAttribute.PRIMARY_KEY and FieldAttribute.INDEXED attributes to the field.

Returns:

a Realm schema object for that class.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this RealmSchema is immutable.

remove

public abstract void remove(String className)

Removes a class from the Realm. All data will be removed. Removing a class while other classes point to it will throw an IllegalStateException. Removes those classes or fields first.

Parameters:

className - name of the class to remove.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this RealmSchema is immutable or of a synced Realm.

rename

public abstract RealmObjectSchema rename(String oldClassName,
                                         String newClassName)

Renames a class already in the Realm.

Parameters:

oldClassName - old class name.

newClassName - new class name.

Returns:

a schema object for renamed class.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this RealmSchema is immutable or of a synced Realm.

contains

public boolean contains(String className)

Checks if a given class already exists in the schema.

Parameters:

className - class name to check.
