How to make primary key as autoincrement for Room Persistence lib

Question

I am creating an Entity (Room Persistence Library) class Food, where I want to make foodId as autoincrement.

@Entity
class Food(var foodName: Str         


        

Answer 1

add @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)

@Entity
public class User {

    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    private int id;

    @ColumnInfo(name = "full_name")
    private String name;

    @ColumnInfo(name = "phone")
    private String phone;

    public User(){
    }

    //type-1
    public User(String name, String phone) {
        this.name = name;
        this.phone = phone;
    }

    //type-2
    public User(int id, String name, String phone) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.phone = phone;
    }

}

while storing data

 //type-1
 db.userDao().InsertAll(new User(sName,sPhone)); 

 //type-2
 db.userDao().InsertAll(new User(0,sName,sPhone)); 

type-1

If you are not passing value for primary key, by default it will 0 or null.

type-2

Put null or zero for the id while creating object (my case user object)

If the field type is long or int (or its TypeConverter converts it to a long or int), Insert methods treat 0 as not-set while inserting the item.

If the field's type is Integer or Long (Object) (or its TypeConverter converts it to an Integer or a Long), Insert methods treat null as not-set while inserting the item.
