Does Requery for Android autogenerate classes?

Question

I have several Model objects (CateogryModel, MenuModel, OrderModel etc). I'm now trying to implement a local database and decided on using Requery.

In their docs, they mention:

getter, setters, equals & hashCode automatically generated into Person.java

So let's assume I already have Person.java with the following:

private class Person
{
    int id;
    String name;

    //getter setter
}

and I change it to:

@Entity
abstract class Person
{
    @Key @Generated
    int id;

    @Index("name")
    String name;
}

What will happen? Where will my getters and setters go? Will requery generate a new class when I build the app?

Answer 1

When you build the project, Requery will generate the PersonEntity class in app/build/generated folder with same package name as Person class.

from API docs:

 /**
 * @return the desired Entity name for the type. This class will be generated by the processor
 * in the same package as the type the annotation is placed on. This name is also used as the
 * table name unless a {@link Table} attribute is specified with a different name.
 * Defaults to empty, the processor will remove "Abstract" prefix from the class name if it
 * exists.
