Android implementation with Realm DB, transactions on main UI Error

Question

I am implementing an instance of the Realm Database within the android application I am designing. However, at first I got this error about Realm transactions on main UI thread:

Running transactions on the UI thread has been disabled. It can be enabled by setting 'RealmConfiguration.Builder.allowWritesOnUiThread(true)'.

I enabled the setting mentioned above, but the error persisted. I decided to implement an AsyncTask class in order to try to execute the realm transaction within the doinbackground method (which runs on a separate thread) but i am still getting the same error.

Can you offer me some advice on how I should proceed?

kind regards, Lampros

Hi, I am getting the same error and I do not know how to enable that setting at all. Could you help me out? – Shaffert

Is there any update? I am also facing the same error. – Stans

Answer 1

Are you actually building a Realm configuration object after you call allowWritesOnUiThread(true) and using it to retrieve your Realm instance?

Splint

Yes. After calling allowWritesOnUiThread(true), i am calling .build() also. Still the error showing. – Stans

@PrantikMondal did you get any solution? – Misfeasance

Answer 2

I know this is late but was able to resolve this by changing realm.execute to realm.executeTransactionAsync instead of setting allowWritesOnUiThread(true).
