can i use LiveData in Room SELECT Query (not as a return type)

Question

can I do something like this:

@Query("SELECT * FROM DataClassPost WHERE documentPath IN (:docsList) ORDER BY postTime DESC")
    fun subscribeToCollectionDocs(docsList: LiveData<List<String>>): LiveData<List<DataClassPost>>

or I have to use List<String> ?

Answer 1

No you cant refer to the live data inside the QUERY. just pass the String itself from the live data value to the function so your function would look like fun subscribeToCollectionDocs(docsList: String): LiveData<List<DataClassPost>>
