Android Room Persistence library entity with AutoValue

Question

Is it possible to use both Room persistence library\'s @Entity with AutoValue\'s @AutoValue and builder on the same POJO? How should i do it?

Answer 1

Released in 2.1.0-alpha01!

Note that you have to add the @CopyAnnotations annotation for it to work

Auto Value: Room now supports declaring AutoValue annotated classes as entities and POJOs. The Room annotations @PrimaryKey, @ColumnInfo, @Embedded and @Relation can now be declared in an auto value annotated class’ abstract methods. Note that these annotation must also be accompanied by @CopyAnnotations for Room to properly understand them.
