io.realm.OrderedRealmCollectionImpl
io.realm.RealmResults

This class holds all the matches of a RealmQuery for a given Realm. The objects are not copied from the Realm to the RealmResults list, but are just referenced from the RealmResult instead. This saves memory and increases speed.

RealmResults are live views, which means that if it is on an Looper thread, it will automatically update its query results after a transaction has been committed. If on a non-looper thread, Realm.refresh() must be called to update the results.

Updates to RealmObjects from a RealmResults list must be done from within a transaction and the modified objects are persisted to the Realm file during the commit of the transaction.

A RealmResults object cannot be passed between different threads.

Notice that a RealmResults is never null not even in the case where it contains no objects. You should always use the RealmResults.size() method to check if a RealmResults is empty or not.

If a RealmResults is built on RealmList through RealmList.where() , it will become empty when the source RealmList gets deleted.

RealmResults can contain more elements than Integer.MAX_VALUE . In that case, you can access only first Integer.MAX_VALUE elements in it.

Adds a change listener to this RealmResults .

Registering a change listener will not prevent the underlying RealmResults from being garbage collected. If the RealmResults is garbage collected, the change listener will stop being triggered. To avoid this, keep a strong reference for as long as appropriate e.g. in a class variable.

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private RealmResults<Person> results; // Strong reference to keep listeners alive
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
results = realm.where(Person.class).findAllAsync();
results.addChangeListener(new OrderedRealmCollectionChangeListener<RealmResults<Person>>() {
@Override
public void onChange(RealmResults<Person> persons, OrderedCollectionChangeSet changeSet) {
// React to change
}
});
}
}

Parameters

  • listener - the change listener to be notified.

public void onChange(RealmResults<Person> persons) {

});
}
}

Parameters

  • listener - the change listener to be notified.

Throws

public <any> asChangesetObservable ()

Returns an Rx Observable that monitors changes to this RealmResults. It will emit the current RealmResults when subscribed. For each update to the RealmResult a pair consisting of the RealmResults and the OrderedCollectionChangeSet will be sent. The changeset will be null the first time an RealmResults is emitted.

RealmResults will continually be emitted as the RealmResults are updated - onComplete will never be called.

Items emitted from Realm Observables are frozen (See freeze() . This means that they are immutable and can be read on any thread.

Realm Observables always emit items from the thread holding the live Realm. This means that if you need to do further processing, it is recommend to observe the values on a computation scheduler:

realm.where(Foo.class).findAllAsync().asChangesetObservable()
.observeOn(Schedulers.computation())
.map((rxResults, changes) -> doExpensiveWork(rxResults, changes))
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe( ... );

Returns

RxJava Observable that only calls onNext . It will never call onComplete or OnError .

Throws

public <any> asFlowable ()

Returns an Rx Flowable that monitors changes to this RealmResults. It will emit the current RealmResults when subscribed to. RealmResults will continually be emitted as the RealmResults are updated - onComplete will never be called.

Items emitted from Realm Flowables are frozen (See freeze() . This means that they are immutable and can be read on any thread.

Realm Flowables always emit items from the thread holding the live RealmResults. This means that if you need to do further processing, it is recommend to observe the values on a computation scheduler:

realm.where(Foo.class).findAllAsync().asFlowable()
.observeOn(Schedulers.computation())
.map(rxResults -> doExpensiveWork(rxResults))
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe( ... );

If you would like the asFlowable() to stop emitting items you can instruct RxJava to only emit only the first item by using the first() operator:

realm.where(Foo.class).findAllAsync().asFlowable()
.filter(results -> results.isLoaded())
.first()
.subscribe( ... ) // You only get the results once

Returns

RxJava Observable that only calls onNext . It will never call onComplete or OnError .

Throws

Tip

public String asJSON ()

Returns a JSON representation of the matches of a RealmQuery . Cycles will be returned as row indices. This is a helper method used to inspect data, or for debugging purpose, this method could pull a large string which could cause an OutOfMemory error.

Returns

string representation of a JSON array containing entries of the resulting RealmQuery .

public boolean isFrozen ()

public boolean isLoaded ()

Returns false if the results are not yet loaded, true if they are loaded.

Returns

true if the query has completed and the data is available, false if the query is still running in the background.

public boolean load ()

Makes an asynchronous query blocking. This will also trigger any registered RealmChangeListener when the query completes.

Returns

true if it successfully completed the query, false otherwise.

Throws

public void setValue (

This method will automatically try to convert numbers and booleans that are given as String to their appropriate type. For example "10" will be converted to 10 if the field type is RealmFieldType.INTEGER .

Using the typed setters like setInt(String, int) will be faster than using this method.

Parameters

  • fieldName - field to update

  • value - value to update with.

Throws

  • IllegalArgumentException - if the field could not be found, could not be updated or the argument didn't match the field type or could not be converted to match the underlying field type.
