Adding custom code into generated entity classes

I am using google-http-java-client library to simplify my communication with web and automate parsing server's responses. So I need to annotate members of my POJO classes by annotattion @Key(name) like in this example:

public static class Video {

   @Key
   public String id;

   @Key
   public String title;

   @Key
   public String url;
}

After I receive server's response I want to save these entities into database. So I have to generate this class by GreenDAO. And main question is how I can insert anotations @Key into generated class? Yes, I know I can insert some code into generated class. This topic describes this ability. But as I understand I can insert only custom members, methods and includes.

you can take a look at Path's fork and use at your own risk. it has support for adding annotations.

Sorry, this is not currently supported by greenDAO. For future reference, I opened a ticket: https://github.com/greenrobot/greenDAO/issues/66

There are ways to work around this, but you must be cautious. You can stop generating certain entities using yourEntity.setSkipGeneration(true). If you decide to go this road you must always supply a constructor like the generated code does. Keep this in mind if properties change.
