Room cannot verify the data integrity

Question

I am getting this error while running program with Room Database

Room cannot verify the data integrity. Looks like you\'ve changed schema but forgot to updat         


        

Answer 1

In my case i was using a transaction inside the migration and Room could not update the hash using a Migration Helper

@get:Rule
val migrationTestHelper: MigrationTestHelper =

MigrationTestHelper(InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation(),
                C2GDatabase::class.java.canonicalName,
                FrameworkSQLiteOpenHelperFactory()) 
/* Testing method throws error*/
db = migrationTestHelper.runMigrationsAndValidate(C2GDatabase.DB_NAME,
            3,
            false,
            C2GDatabase.Migration_1_2(),
            C2GDatabase.Migration_2_3())


override fun migrate(database: SupportSQLiteDatabase) {

/** 
    Error
    database.beginTransaction()
**/
database.execSQL("PRAGMA foreign_keys=off;")
database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE user RENAME TO user_old;")
database.execSQL("CREATE TABLE user ( id_user INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, external_id INTEGER NOT NULL;")
database.execSQL("INSERT INTO user ( id_user, external_id ) " +
                        " SELECT               id_user, external_id" +  
                        " FROM                 user_old;")

database.execSQL("CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_unique_user ON user (external_id);")
database.execSQL("PRAGMA foreign_keys=on;")
database.execSQL("DROP TABLE user_old;")
//database.endTransaction() 
}

Answer 2

@Database(entities = {Tablename1.class, Tablename2.class}, version = 3, exportSchema = false)

Change the version number in your RoomDatabase class. Increment the version number.

Answer 3

Aniruddh Parihar 's answer gave me a hint and it solved.

Search for a class where you have extended RoomDatabase. There you will find version like below :

@Database(entities = {YourEntity.class}, version = 1)

just increase the version and problem is solved.

Answer 4

In my case android:allowBackup="false" making it from true to false worked, as this has given me nightmares before as well, this is the weirdest thing why is this setting enabled by default!

Answer 5

In order to fix the problem in kotlin:

First

@Database(entities = [Contact::class], version = 2)

Second

val MIGRATION_1_2 = object : Migration(1, 2) {
        override fun migrate(database: SupportSQLiteDatabase) {
            database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE Contact ADD COLUMN seller_id TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT ''")
        }
    }

Third

private fun buildDatabase(context: Context) = Room.databaseBuilder(
            context.applicationContext,
            EpayDatabase::class.java,
            "epay"
        )
            .addMigrations(MIGRATION_1_2)
            .build()

Answer 6

I got the same error during the training program of Codelabs. Where In one training session I created a project and it ran successfully with all database operations. In the next session, I was working with a different repo, but it was an extension of the previous project, From the first build of the extended app only I had got the error.

Maybe Studio keeps authentication techniques with room database that's missing with the new build.
