error: Entity class must be annotated with @Entity

Question

I decided to use kotlin with Room library and I really faced a lot of problems and tired from reading reference and finding a solution My Data Class:

@Entity
data class HistorySong(
        @PrimaryKey
        var SongId: Int =0,

        @ColumnInfo(name = "song_name")
        var songName: String="",

        @ColumnInfo(name = "song_artist")
        var songArtist: String="",

        @ColumnInfo(name = "song_link")
        var songLink: String="",

        @ColumnInfo(name = "image_path")
        var songImagePath: String="",

        @ColumnInfo(name="is_favoutire")
        var songisFavourite: Boolean= false
)

My Dao class :

@Dao
 interface HistorySongDao {

       @Delete
       fun deleteSong(historySongDao: HistorySongDao)

       @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
        fun insert(vararg historySongDao: HistorySongDao)

       @Query("SELECT * FROM HistorySong")
        fun loadAllSongs(): Array<HistorySong>


       @Query("SELECT * FROM HistorySong WHERE songId = :mId")
        fun findById(mId: Int): HistorySong

       @Query("SELECT * FROM HistorySong WHERE is_favoutire = :getFavourite ")
        fun getFavourite(getFavourite : Boolean) : Array<HistorySong>



       @Update
       fun updateUsers(vararg historySong: HistorySong)
}

Database Class:

@Database(entities = arrayOf(QueuedSong::class, HistorySongDao::class), version = 2)
abstract class AppDataBase : RoomDatabase() {
    abstract fun queuedSongDao(): QueuedSongDao
    abstract fun historySongDao(): HistorySongDao
}

QueuedSong is working great but the problem in historySong is:

e: F:\SmartStreamer\app\build\tmp\kapt3\stubs\debug\com\pro\smartstreamer\Database\QueuedDatabase\HistorySongDao.java:7: error: Entity class must be annotated with @Entity

Maybe you forgot to add com.pro.smartstreamer.Database.QueuedDatabase.HistorySong to the entities section of the @Database?
    public abstract void updateUsers(@org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull()

and :

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:kaptDebugKotlin'.

I really can't find a solution.. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

As it said in the first comment, you are trying to insert and delete HistorySongDao objects instead of HistorySong, your code will become:

@Dao
 interface HistorySongDao {

       @Delete
       fun deleteSong(vararg historySong: HistorySong)

       @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
        fun insert(vararg historySong: HistorySong)

       @Query("SELECT * FROM HistorySong")
        fun loadAllSongs(): Array<HistorySong>

       @Query("SELECT * FROM HistorySong WHERE songId = :mId")
        fun findById(mId: Int): HistorySong

       @Query("SELECT * FROM HistorySong WHERE is_favoutire = :getFavourite ")
        fun getFavourite(getFavourite : Boolean) : Array<HistorySong>

       @Update
       fun updateUsers(vararg historySong: HistorySong)
}

Answer 2

I solved it by changing my @Database's argument (RoomDatabase class), I didn't realize and put my DAO where should be my Entity.

In my case:

@Database(entities = [WordDao::class],version = 1)

changed to:

@Database(entities = [WordEntity::class],version = 1)

So, when somebody gets this error, maybe should to check not only where the entity is declared but too where it is used.
