realm.xamarin throws error: The method 'Contains' is not supported. same for 'Any'

i am writing a query which required 'WHERE IN' like clause in realm.xamarin linq query. below is the query i tried:

var IdsToMatch = observations.Select(x => x.Id)
var results = from d in realm.All<Observations>() where IdsToMatch.Any(p => p == d.Id) select d;

also tried this with Contains:

var results = from d in realm.All<Observations>() where IdsToMatch.Contains(d.Id) select d;

but this throws error:

The method 'Contains' is not supported
The method 'Any' is not supported

What is the solution for this?

EDIT :

here is the stack trace for the error:

EDIT 2 :

var IdsToMatch = observations.Select(x => x.Id)
var results = from d in realm.All<Observations>() where IdsToMatch.Any(p => p == d.Id) select d;

tried: var IdsToMatch = observations.Select(x => x.Id).AsQueryable() as per https://github.com/realm/realm-dotnet/blob/7187390529201ba843cd105fc6e3e11acb0c6217/Realm.Shared/linq/RealmResultsVisitor.cs#L121 which says

internal override Expression VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression m)
        {
            if (m.Method.DeclaringType == typeof(Queryable)) { ...

but that didn't work too.

OK, that was a lot of fun. The answer (for right now) is to build a LINQ Expression Tree.

Realm supports LINQ - we parse the Expression Tree (OK, some bits are missing but the basics are there and we're improving regularly - we will add Contains).

So, any time you need to build up a completely arbitrary query expression at runtime you can do so with the power of LINQ.

The example below may appear a bit complicated but the point is that it uses a standard Expression tree so you can use any other code which builds such trees.

class HasIntKey : RealmObject {
    public int UserKey { get; set; }
}


private void FindingManyMatches()
{
    using (var theRealm = Realm.GetInstance ("TestingManyKeys.realm")) {
        // create some sample data
        theRealm.Write (() => {
            for (int i = 1; i < 10000; i++) {
                var obj = theRealm.CreateObject<HasIntKey> ();
                obj.UserKey = i;
            }
        });
        var allInts = theRealm.All<HasIntKey>();
        Console.WriteLine ($"Created {allInts.Count()} objects");

        var idsToMatch = new[] {42,1003,400,57, 6009};

        // technique for how to search for many matches
        // use Expression Trees to dynamically build the LINQ statement
        // see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt654267.aspx
        ParameterExpression pe = Expression.Parameter (typeof(HasIntKey), "p");

        // building an expression like:
        // allInts.Where (p => p.UserKey == idsToMatch[0] || p.UserKey == idsToMatch[1]...);
        Expression chainedByOr = null;
        // left side of the == will be the same for each clause we add in the loop
        Expression left = Expression.Property(pe, typeof(HasIntKey).GetProperty("UserKey"));  
        foreach (int anId in idsToMatch) {
            // Create an expression tree that represents the expression 'p.UserKey == idsToMatch[n]'.
            Expression right = Expression.Constant(anId);
            Expression anotherEqual = Expression.Equal(left, right);
            if (chainedByOr == null)
                chainedByOr = anotherEqual;
            else 
                chainedByOr = Expression.OrElse (chainedByOr, anotherEqual);
        }
        MethodCallExpression whereCallExpression = Expression.Call(
            typeof(Queryable),
            "Where",
            new Type[] { allInts.ElementType },
            allInts.Expression,
            Expression.Lambda<Func<HasIntKey, bool>>(chainedByOr, new ParameterExpression[] { pe }));

        // Create an executable query from the expression tree.
        IQueryable<HasIntKey> results = allInts.Provider.CreateQuery<HasIntKey>(whereCallExpression);

        // now we have our results, display some details!
        Console.WriteLine ($"Found {results.Count()} objects");

        // Enumerate the results.
        foreach (HasIntKey anObj in results)
            Console.WriteLine($"Found key {anObj.UserKey}");
    }
}
