Let's start working on functionality and replacing the database with RealmDB in this submodule.

RealmDB is creating buzz in the modern Android programming world; it is a simple alternative to the SQLite database, which comes built into the Android SDK. Realm is not using SQLite as its core engine; it has its own C++ core, exclusively architected for mobiles. Realm saves the data in a universal, table-based format with a C++ core. Realm handles a range of sophisticated queries and can allow data accessibility from multiple languages as well as numerous ad hoc queries.

Advantages of Realm

  • Realm is 10x faster than SQLite
  • Easy to use
  • Cross-platform
  • Memory efficient
  • Well documented and excellent community support...
