Hello everyone I have question about Kotlin and room kotlinlang #android

Yeah You are right. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter specified as non-null is null: method kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics.checkParameterIsNotNull, parameter author

How can I solve this one ?

don’t use

!!

you can specify default value instead

title = it.title ?: "Some default value"

!!

is unsafe operation, you should always try to avoid use of

!!

!!

means “I sure this value is not null, so allow me to use it” so if value actually

null

your code will throw exception

Alternatively you can make

News.author

nullable, so in this case just assign null

Wooow thank you bro. You saved my day. I used this one “title = it.title ?: “Some default value”"

You should read this part of official reference for better understanding: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/null-safety.html

Actually, according your error message you have null not on

title

but on

author

Yeah I changed all fields based on “title = it.title ?: “Some default value”"

By the way how can I auto increment primary key in room ?

@Entity(tableName = “news”) data class News constructor( @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true) var id: Int, var title: String, var author: String, var publishedAt: String ) { }

Yes, like this

autoGenerate should work

newsDao.insert( News( title = it.title ?: “”, author = it.author ?: “”, publishedAt = it.date ?:“” ) )

If i do like that there error I need to add id

just make your id nullable

and assign null value there

var id: Int

var id: Int? = null

also you should move this property from constructor to body of the class

@Entity(tableName = “news”) data class News constructor( var title: String, var author: String, var publishedAt: String ) { @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true) var id: Int? = null }

like that ?
