What it is

Realm Java is an embedded mobile database for Android that replaces SQLite and traditional ORMs by exposing data directly as queryable objects. It provides thread-safe, encrypted persistence with real-time sync capabilities via Atlas Device Sync, and is optimized for mobile-first use cases with better performance than raw SQLite while maintaining a minimal API surface. Hybrid monorepo: Java/Kotlin layer in root providing public API (likely realm-java-core modules), C++/CMake native bindings in a submodule (referenced via .gitmodules), comprehensive gradle-based build system with buildscript configuration in build.gradle and dependencies.list, extensive docs in docs/guides/ covering CRUD,…

Start here

Open these first:

  • build.gradle — Root build configuration defining version management, dependencies, and Gradle plugin setup; all contributors must…
  • CHANGELOG.md — Complete record of version changes, bug fixes, and feature additions; essential reading to understand what has changed and…
  • README.md — Project overview, deprecation notice (Device Sync), and direction toward Realm Kotlin SDK; critical for understanding…
  • CONTRIBUTING.md — Contribution guidelines and development workflow; every contributor must follow these conventions
  • version.txt — Current release version referenced by build.gradle; governs all published artifacts and versioning

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/realm/realm-java.git && cd realm-java && ./gradlew build (gradlew script inferred from standard Android gradle setup). Requires Android SDK, NDK for native compilation, and Java 8+. See docs…

Daily commands:

No traditional 'dev server'; this is a library. Run tests with ./gradlew test or ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest for device/emulator tests. Integration into Android project: add Maven Central dependency io.realm:realm-gr…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Slowing — last commit 8mo ago
  • Native compilation requires Android NDK and coreSourcePath property pointing to external Realm core repo (submodule). Gradle property copyProperties block silently propagates buildTargetABIs, enableLTO, and…
  • Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
