:app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac Note: Processing class DataBaseQuestion Error:A default public constructor with no argument must be declared if a custom constructor is declared. Note: Creating DefaultRealmModule Warning:File for type 'io.realm.DefaultRealmModule' created in the last round will not be subject to annotation processing.

Can anyone please help me how to resolve this?

Answer 1

Error:A default public constructor with no argument must be declared

You can add the desired default constructor to the specified class and check back.

Change

DataBaseQuestion() {
}

to

public DataBaseQuestion() {
}

Answer 2

you forgot public modifier.

Your program probably tries to reach it outside of package context, which means that it looks only for public constructors. It finds one - the one which requires constructor-args, but doesn't see package private one. Adding "public" access modifier should solve the problem.

public DataBaseQuestion(){}

Note: You should look at lombok in your spare time, so that you do not manually handle creation of getters, setters, AllArgsContsructors or NoArgsConstructors

Answer 3

Another possible cause of this error was defining a package-private object that inherits from RealmObject.

It fails for the same reason as the aforementioned answers: the default constructor is package-private, thus unaccessible to the annotation processor. Declaring the class public fixed it.

Change

class DataBaseQuestion extends RealmObject { }

to

public class DataBaseQuestion extends RealmObject { }
