Since room use @Entity annotation to generate tables, I don't think you can create tables at runtime simply using Room.

But room is just a wrapper for Sqlite, you can fall back to Sqlite and SQL and then manipulate database.

RoomDatabase has lots of helpers. For example, yourRoomDatabase.getOpenHelper().getWritableDatabase() returns a traditional writable database. Just like old days.
