How to import Room Persistence Library to an Android project

I recently saw the new feature announced on Google I/O Room Persistence Library to work with Sqlite databases on Android. I have been looking to the official documentation and I don't find which dependencies I should import to my gradle file on my Android project. Someone can give me a hand?

Solution

  • It's possible to find the dependencies on the example codelab for the new architecture components.

    Root :

    allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {
        url "https://maven.google.com"
    }
}

    For Room:

      implementation 'android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.0.0-alpha1'
  annotationProcessor 'android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.0.0-alpha1'

    For Lifecycle dependencies:

      implementation 'android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.0.0-alpha1'
  annotationProcessor 'android.arch.lifecycle:compiler:1.0.0-alpha1'

    Adding Rxjava2 objects as result for our queries:

      implementation 'android.arch.persistence.room:rxjava2:1.0.0-alpha1'

    Test migrations:

      testImplementation'android.arch.persistence.room:testing:1.0.0-alpha1'
