You can use the wal_checkpoint pragma to trigger a checkpoint which will move the WAL file transactions back into the database.

        theRoomDb.query("pragma wal_checkpoint(full)", null)

or

        // the result
        // contains 1 row with 3 columns
        // busy, log, checkpointed
        Cursor cursor = theRoomDb.query("pragma wal_checkpoint(full)", null)

See PRAGMA Statements for more details about the pragma parameter values and results.

If the WAL is not enabled the pragma does nothing. By the way, I tested with Room 1.1.1, and the WAL mode was not used by default, I had to enable it.
