Android Room: How to Migrate Column Renaming?

Question

Issue

My app is crashing because I am not handling migration properly. I\'m looking for a solution to migrate the name of 1 column in my table.

Answer 1

There is a solution without migration - use ColumnInfo:

data class Content(@PrimaryKey var id: String,  @ColumnInfo(name = "archiveCount") var dismissCount: Double) : Parcelable{...}

Database column will be still archiveCount, but in Kotlin property will be renamed.
