IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL STEP BY STEP, use these settings: Empty activity(jetpack compose, the purple one), min sdk 24, groovy dsl. IN build.gradle(module :app), target sdk 33. Use room 2.5.0, as the latest version needs target sdk to be 34. activity-compose should be 1.7.2, jvm target 17, compileOptions source an target java version 17. These setting worked for me, if you have build errors, read them through and correct the versions or just copy paste them into stack overflow. Commenting this cause I had a lot of issues with the versions conflicting.

Great tutorial Philipp! I would love to see how you would extend this to sync the data with an API containing a master database. For example if this is a shared contact list with all users of the master database.

Continue man, you are doing very well.

There's so much about this I still struggle to understand, between these tutorials and the official android ones. It seems like the way you do it and the way they do it is so different despite using the same systems.

If anyone else is struggling to understand these concepts, know that you're not alone. A lot of the tutorials and guides for these subjects contradict each other, and it is difficult to tell what the differences between the implementations are.

Hello Phillipp, Great work! I got just one question. Could you explain why this time we are not have to make instance of database inside companion object in ContactDatabase class?

[wzsh]

Great video, I would like to ask if there a way to output the raw sql query statement in logcat when I invoke Dao each time.

this is a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing Philipp. Now you only include inserting and deleting records, any chance of including an updating example? I tried to include a checkbox in the table, but have not been succesful in making it work.
