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

Don't use to dataclass,use normal class instead. This method will solve problem

Answer 2

I had the same issue. You can move the @Ignore fields to class body. For example :

@Entity(tableName = "movies")
data class MovieKt(
    @PrimaryKey
    var id : Int,
    var title: String
){
    //here
    @Ignore var overview: String
 }

Answer 3

I think that a good option for resolve it is:

@Entity(tableName = "movies")
data class MovieKt(
    @PrimaryKey
    var id : Int = 0,
    var title: String = "",
    var overview: String = "",
    var poster_path: String = "",
    var backdrop_path: String = "",
    var release_date: String = "",
    var vote_average: Double = 0.0,
    var isFavorite: Int = 0
)

Answer 4

Same bug, much stranger solution: Do not return cursor using reactivex Maybe<Cursor> on your Dao. Flowable, Single, and Observable did not work either.

Simply bite the bullet and make the reactive call outside the Dao request. Before:

@Dao
interface MyDao{
    @Query("SELECT * FROM mydao")
    fun getCursorAll(): Flowable<Cursor>
}

After:

@Dao
interface MyDao{
    @Query("SELECT * FROM mydao")
    fun getCursorAll(): Cursor
}

Answer 5

Today I was having this problem. I used @Ignore, that is why I got the error. To solve this I created a secondary constructor. So my code looks something like this:

@Entity(tableName = "profile")
data class Profile(
  @field:SerializedName("id") @PrimaryKey @ColumnInfo(name = "id") var id:Long,
  @field:SerializedName("foo") @ColumnInfo(name = "foo") var foo:String?,
  @field:SerializedName("bar") @Ignore var Bar:String?
){
   constructor(id:Long, foo:String) : this(id, foo, null)
}

This worked for me.

Answer 6

For me, I was using 'lat' & 'long' as a variable name in the data(Entity) class for kotlin so renaming to latitude & longitude it worked.

Not working:

@Entity(tableName = "table_User")
data class User(@PrimaryKey var userId : Int, @ColumnInfo(name = "first_name") 
var firstName: String
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "last_name") var lastName: String
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "password") var password: String
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "dob") var dob: Long
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "address") var address: String
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "lat") var latitude: Double
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "long") var longitude: Double) {

}

Working:

@Entity(tableName = "table_User")
data class User(@PrimaryKey var userId : Int, @ColumnInfo(name = "first_name") 
var firstName: String
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "last_name") var lastName: String
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "password") var password: String
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "dob") var dob: Long
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "address") var address: String
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "latitude") var latitude: Double
            , @ColumnInfo(name = "longitude") var longitude: Double) {

}
