Hi all - any update on when this will get merged?

[cmelchior]

Hi @tfrysinger

We don't have an exact date yet. It hasn't been forgotten, but other things took priority.

Hi @cmelchior , I understand development priorities shift as I am also a developer. Just relaying a message that I started implementing Realm on an enterprise level app at my employer. Due to the delay in Adapter support and the work around being messy I have decided to choose a different data store for our mobile projects moving forward. I am a big mongo db fan but this lead time to support industry standard mobile development on maven-central is dissapointing. Not a reflection on the development staff but more so the product management team.

Hi @stuartcodepro Sorry you feel that way. We continuously have to weigh priorities and unfortunately, this fell short of other things.

But are you aware that all you need is this file https://github.com/realm/realm-android-adapters/blob/master/adapters/src/main/java/io/realm/RealmRecyclerViewAdapter.java ?

So you only need to copy this file (which hasn't changed in 3 years) to your own project and delete the android-adapters dependency.
