Open and Close a Realm

Open a Realm

To open a realm, create a RealmConfiguration with RealmConfiguration.Builder and pass the resulting RealmConfiguration to Realm.open():

val config = RealmConfiguration.Builder()
    .schema(setOf(CRUDTest.Frog::class))
    // specify name so realm doesn't just use the "default.realm" file
    .name(REALM_NAME)
    .build()
val realm = Realm.open(config)
Log.v("Successfully opened realm: ${realm.configuration.name}")

Close a Realm

You can close a realm with realm.close(). The close() method blocks until all write transactions on the realm have completed.

realm.close()
