Question

I'm writing a small apps to log daily Transaction, when trying to create a Room Database i followed some guide around then switched the variable to fit my need. Thing is i get weird Dao compile error.

Here's the error code;

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

Dao code

package com.example.android.budgetproject;


import android.arch.persistence.room.*
import android.arch.persistence.room.Transaction
import android.arch.persistence.room.Delete
import android.arch.persistence.room.Dao

@Dao
interface TransactionDao {

    @Query("SELECT * FROM `transaction`")
    fun getAllTransaction(): List<Transaction>

    @Query("SELECT * FROM `transaction` where uid IN (:transactionId)")
    fun findTransactionById(transactionId: IntArray): List<Transaction>

    @Insert(onConflict = 1)
    fun insertTransaction(transaction: Transaction)

    @Delete
    fun deleteTransaction(transaction: Transaction)
}

And just in case:

package com.example.android.budgetproject

import android.arch.persistence.room.ColumnInfo
import android.arch.persistence.room.Entity
import android.arch.persistence.room.PrimaryKey

@Entity(tableName = "transaction")
data class Transaction(
        @ColumnInfo(name = "depense") var depense: String = "",
        @ColumnInfo(name = "description") var description: String = "",
        @ColumnInfo(name = "date") var date: String = "",
        @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true) var uid: Long = 0)

Also here's a link to one of the guide i was following, https://medium.com/@ajaysaini.official/building-database-with-room-persistence-library-ecf7d0b8f3e9

Hopefuly my problem is not into my manifest. but let me know if you think it could be a wrong dependancie i will had quickly my manifest to this post.

Answer 1

In your DAO, you are importing this:

import android.arch.persistence.room.Transaction

You should import your entity Transaction instead of the Room class.
