Room Persistence: Error:Entities and Pojos must have a usable public constructor

Question

I\'m converting a project to Kotlin and I\'m trying to make my model (which is also my entity) a data class I intend to use Moshi to convert the JSON responses from the API<

Answer 1

For me all I had to do was to add a constructor to the data class with empty params sent to it like so:

    @Entity(tableName = "posts")
data class JobPost(
    @Ignore
    @SerializedName("companyLogo")
    var companyLogo: String,
    @Ignore
    @SerializedName("companyName")
    var companyName: String,
    @Ignore
    @SerializedName("isAggregated")
    var isAggregated: String,
    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = false)
    @SerializedName("jobID")
    var jobID: String,
    @Ignore
    @SerializedName("jobTitle")
    var jobTitle: String,
    @Ignore
    @SerializedName("postedOn")
    var postedOn: String,
    @Ignore
    @SerializedName("region")
    var region: String
) {
    constructor() : this("","","","","","","")
}
