Source

RealmController.java

public RealmController(Context context) {
    try {
        this.context = context;
        Realm.init(context);
        PrintLog("RealmController", "RealmController", "Init realm", LOG_LEVEL_INFO);
        realmInstance = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
        PrintLog("RealmController", "RealmController", "Getting realm instance", LOG_LEVEL_INFO);
    }
    catch (Exception err) {
        PrintLog("RealmController", "RealmController", "Error: " + err.getMessage(), LOG_LEVEL_ERROR);
    }
}

SellingData.java

public class SellingDataTable extends RealmObject {

    public Date todaysDate;
    public int sellingData;

    public Date getTodaysDate() {
        return todaysDate;
    }
    public void setTodaysDate(Date todaysDate) {
        this.todaysDate = todaysDate;
    }
    public int getSellingData() {
        return sellingData;
    }
    public void setSellingData(int sellingData) {
        this.sellingData = sellingData;
    }
}

Expected behavior

Answer 1

If you create a Realm with a given schema on the device, then if you start modifying the schema (by adding new classes, adding new fields, removing fields, adding/removing @Index, adding/removing @Required, changing a type, etc.) then you either need to provide a migration (example here), or you need to specify deleteIfMigrationNeeded() on your RealmConfiguration.
