领域：如何查询多对多领域

Question

I recently heard about Realm for android (also available for iOS) in this talk by Joaquim Verques . Very interesting and very powerful tool for persistent data.

I decided to give it a try after the video, researching and reading the documentation.

I found it very easy to use and set up but i end up stuck in the middle of my project because i couldn't manage to successfully make a query with many to many relationships.

I have created a small example for this topic.

My models:

public class Feed extends RealmObject {

    @PrimaryKey
    private int id;
    private String title;
    private String description;
    private String link;
    private Terms terms;

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    public String getLink() {
        return link;
    }

    public void setLink(String link) {
        this.link = link;
    }

    public Terms getTerms() {
        return terms;
    }

    public void setTerms(Terms terms) {
        this.terms = terms;
    }
}

    public class Terms extends RealmObject {

        private String tag;
        private RealmList<Category> categories;

        public String getTag() {
            return tag;
        }

        public void setTag(String tag) {
            this.tag = tag;
        }

        public RealmList<Category> getCategories() {
            return categories;
        }

        public void setCategories(RealmList<Category> categories) {
            this.categories = categories;
        }
    }

    public class Category extends RealmObject {
        @PrimaryKey
        private int id;
        private String name;

        public int getId() {
            return id;
        }

        public void setId(int id) {
            this.id = id;
        }

        public String getName() {
            return name;
        }

        public void setName(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }
    }

So far so good, now im going to save a list of feeds to realm (make it persistent) and then try to make some query.

    public static void test(final Context context,final List<Feed> feedList) {
          Realm realm = null;
                        try {
                        realm = Realm.getInstance(context);
                        realm.beginTransaction();
                        realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate(feedList);
                        realm.commitTransaction();
RealmResults<Feed> realmResults = realm.where(Feed.class).findAll();// return me all feeds
                    RealmResults<Feed> realmResults1 = realm.where(Feed.class).equalTo("id", 1).findAll(); // return feed with id 1
                    RealmResults<Feed> realmResults2 = realm.where(Feed.class).equalTo("terms.tag", "tech").findAll(); // return  feeds //with tag = "tech"
                    RealmResults<Feed> realmResults3 = realm.where(Feed.class).equalTo("terms.category.name", "test").findAll(); //exception here
                            }
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            //Empty
                            Log.d("Test","",e);
                        } finally {
                            if (realm != null)
                                realm.close();
                        }
                    }
    }

Everything run well untill the last query and i get this exception:"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid query: category does not refer to a class."

So my question is How do i do that kind of query successfully, as i will like realm to return me every feed with terms which has at least 1 category with name = "test"

Thank you very much

Answer 1

Your field is called "categories" and not "category". The third query should be:

RealmResults<Feed> realmResults3 = realm.where(Feed.class).equalTo("terms.categories.name", "test").findAll();
