You can ask here itself i believe!

Is there a way to take a Room database reference:

database = Room
            .databaseBuilder(
                this,
                CollectDatabase::class.java,
                "collect_database"
            )
            .build()

and check if a table exists?

[ritesh]

CollectDatabase::class.java

This is the abstract class right, with dao's in it. Isn't that helpful?

[Shawn Karber_]

well, yes, in my activity, the first time its launched if the table hasn't been created, it errors, and i want to create the table if it doesn't exist yet, or else skip it if it does

CollectDatabase::class.java

How your this class looks like?

database = Room
            .databaseBuilder(
                this,
                CollectDatabase::class.java,
                "collect_database"
            )
            .build()

Once you invoke this, it will create the tables. Your entities are tables.
