Android greenDAO - Primitive data types

Question

I'd like to ask if there is a way to use primitive data types as table fields with greenDAO? If it is, code example would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

As far as I know, you can't, at least with the provided framework. In the documentation, there's the PropertyType enum, which only have objects. Maybe you could, modifying the generated code, but I'm not quite sure and it seems a lot of manual work to do.

Answer 2

Seeing that the accepted answer points to a dead link, here's an update for GreenDao 3:

To add support for a custom type, you can map them to one of the supported types using a @Convert annotation. You also need to provide a PropertyConverter implementation.
