'RealmNoticeModelClass' has a primary key, use 'createObject(Class<E>, Object)' instead

Question

After Upgrading Realm from 1.1.0 to 2.0.2. I get this error while transacting object. In earlier version it was working fine.

io.realm.exceptions.RealmException: 'RealmNoticeModelClass' has a primary key, use 'createObject(Class, Object)' instead.

Code is

 realm.beginTransaction();
                    RealmNoticeModelClass realmNoticeModelClass = realm.createObject(RealmNoticeModelClass.class);
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setDocUrl(DocUrl1);
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setHashname(heading);
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setContent(contentString);
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setTime(getIntent().getExtras().getString("notice_time"));
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setPicurl(picUrlName);
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setUserPic(getIntent().getExtras().getString("image_user_notice"));
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setPdfUrl(PdfUrl);
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setPicOffline(SnapshotKey);
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setMetaType(null);
                    realmNoticeModelClass.setTimeStamp(SnapshotKey);
                    realm.commitTransaction();

n RealmNoticeModelClass

Answer 1

Primary keys are immutable since Realm 2.0.0, which means you cannot modify them after the object has been created.

Considering you have a primary key, the object should be created with its primary key value set.

In your case, this primary key is

@PrimaryKey
private String timeStamp;

This means, this line of code will fail:

RealmNoticeModelClass realmNoticeModelClass = 
   realm.createObject(RealmNoticeModelClass.class);
realmNoticeModelClass.setTimeStamp(snapshotKey /* primaryKeyValue*/);

And it should be

RealmNoticeModelClass realmNoticeModelClass = 
   realm.createObject(RealmNoticeModelClass.class, snapshotKey /* primaryKeyValue */);
