    //export to email
    public static void exportDatabase(Context context,RealmConfiguration configuration) {

        // init realm

            realm.writeCopyTo(exportRealmFile);


        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        realm.close();

            File dest = new File(dir);
            if (dest.exists())
                dest.delete();
            copy(is,dest);
        }catch (IOException e){
            Log.e(LOG_TAG,"import database error");
        }
        return defaultRealm;
    }

    public static void copy(File src, File dst) throws IOException {
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dst);

        // Transfer bytes from in to out
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        int len;
        while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
            out.write(buf, 0, len);
        }
        in.close();
        out.close();
    }
    public static void copy(InputStream in, File dst) throws IOException {

        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dst);

        }
        in.close();
        out.close();
    }

}

Now I want to check it out. How to edit it in windows. The developer said they only has realm browser on Mac But I am using windows 10. So anyone have any ways or any tool to browser realm on Windows. Thank you.

(Disclaimer: I'm the guy in charge of Realm Browser for Mac. :) )

We hear you! Unfortunately, at the moment, to even consider a version of Realm Browser for Windows, we need to get Realm itself running on Windows to begin with! It's something we're absolutely working on, but obviously it's not a small amount of work; so we haven't got any release timelines yet.

For the time being, if you want to debug a Realm file from an Android app, there's actually a really cool open-source third party Android Realm browser app that you could potentially use instead: https://github.com/dmytrodanylyk/realm-browser

Sorry I couldn't bring any better news, but at the very least, I hope that helps in the interim. But we're 100% aware that having an equivalent version of Realm Browser on Windows would greatly help Android development on that platform.
