Hello I’ve been :google: for some time now and SO and couldn’t really find a reason for this: I have Room returning

Flowable<List<Model>>

— This

Model

is a data class (hence I would assume

equals()

works as expected). But for some reason I get multiple notifications on a db change (I’ve mapped it with

distinctUntilChanged()

) This question [1] is addressing the same but I’ve had no success with the suggestions, and the accepted answer is referencing exactly

Object.equals

, I’ve also tried [2] using the suggestion as the distinct predicate, but with no success Thank you in advance for your time --- [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48585491/room-flowable-invokes-multiple-times [2] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35272761/how-to-compare-two-arrays-in-kotlin/48769967#48769967

Does it have a primitive array? If so, you need a custom equals and hashCode that uses contentEquals and contentHashCode on those properties for value equivalence to work.

Thanks for the suggestion and time, gonna try it
