Catch return value of bulk insert in SQLite room

Question

Let's say I have the following insertAll function:

@Insert
void insertDogs(List<Dog> dogs);

And

public long[] insertDogs(List<Dog> dogs) {
    return appDatabase.dogDao().insertDogs(dogs)
            .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()) //causes Cannot resolve method 'subscribeOn(io.reactivex.Scheduler)'
            .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread());
}

What is the correct return value of bulk insert should be? If I want to receive the new created ids of the dogs, I receive the above mentioned error.

Is it enough to just put try catch outside insertDogs function, as subscribeOn does not work as it seems for bulk inserts.

Answer 1

Try using :-

@Insert
long[] insertDogs(List<Dog> dogs);
