Hello all, How to save Color to room db in Jetpack Compose?. I’m trying to save an Article to room db (One of the params is Compose Color).
Currently it shows error like to Use TypeConverter for color field to save the data.

How to achieve this?. Below I’ve attached my Model class.

You can use type converters so room can convert your Color to and from Long (or Int) to store or retrieve from the db

@Se7eN I did that already still I got this error 👇

error: Class is referenced as a converter but it does not have any converter methods.

ColorConverters Class 👇

class ColorConverters {

    @TypeConverter
    fun fromColor(color: Color) : Int? {
     return color.toArgb()
    }

    @TypeConverter
    fun toColor(color:Int) : Color {
        return Color(color)
    }
}

I believe Room compiler doesn't support inline classes (value classes).

Found an issue.

Guess you're gonna have to store an Int for now and create an extension Source.color for Color . Or maybe use android.graphics.Color
