How to display a Realm database content?


I have Realm database on Android phone. And I am trying to save data to Realm database and then to fetch it from there. But I am not sure that I am doing it rightly, because it does not contain some data. I want to see that records in their raw state to understand where am I wrong. But gradle failing to build project on this. Does anybody know how to see with data with some other tools? Thanks. gradle-4.4.1

    io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:5.1.0
    implementation 'com.facebook.stetho:stetho:1.5.0'
    implementation 'com.uphyca:stetho_realm:2.2.0'

Stetho.initialize(
                Stetho.newInitializerBuilder(this)
                        .enableDumpapp(Stetho.defaultDumperPluginsProvider(this))
                        .enableWebKitInspector(Stetho.defaultInspectorModulesProvider(this))
                        //.enableWebKitInspector(RealmInspectorModulesProvider.builder(this).build())
                        .build());


buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
        maven { url 'https://github.com/WickeDev/stetho-realm/raw/master/maven-repo' }
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' //here shows error: Failed to resolve: com

Solution

  • There is another manual way to view records of Realm database but you need Mac OS for that.

    1- Run your app in emulator.

    2- Go to Tools -> Android Device Monitor

    3- Find your app's package name, now you can see all files of your app.

    4- Find realm file and Copy it by exporting it to your computer.

    5- Now install Realm Browser on MAC OS.

    6- Open copied file of database via Realm browser.

    You can see all tables and records of your database.
