Flipper: Android Add support for Realm

[mgoyanes]

If possible, since Realm is widely used, add a plugin that we can check our databases.

That's a feature that won't come out of our team, but it would definitely be great to have support for it. Happy to review any pull requests for it. :)

@mgoyanes I'm working on that exact thing as we speak :)

[mgoyanes]

@erawhctim great ;)

[erawhctim]

For anyone curious, I have basic realm data displaying in a plugin:

Given a realm class declared in Kotlin like this:

And test/sample data setup like this:

I'm actively working on this at the moment. It's obviously _far_, far from complete and nowhere near ready, but I'll post a link to a repo/PR/etc here once the plugin is stable enough for an alpha release - subscribe to notifications on this issue if you're interested in following!

That's amazing! Looking forward to seeing more about this, @erawhctim!

[mgoyanes]

Great @erawhctim. If you need testers count me in :)

@erawhctim are you going to add support to Room too?

[erawhctim]

@felislynx-silae Yep - the current plan is to make this plugin as database-agnostic as possible and support multiple different implementations. Realm on Android/iOS and Room at first, with SQLDelight and Core Data as later options. (I _think_ those are possible, but just haven't had time to fully explore/validate them yet since Realm was first-priority)

Hi Mitch!
How is it going with SQLite / Room? I was thinking about doing plugin, maybe you need help?

A generic db plugin has been merged ( https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/33 ). Since it's generic, it looks like it could be extended to support Realm.

Hi @erawhctim,
Do you have any update on this ? Something we can explore, maybe an implementation of a custom DatabasesFlipperPlugin for Realm ?
Thanks :)

If anyone need it I extracted driver which I'm using for Realm: https://github.com/kamgurgul/Flipper-Realm
Maybe in the feature I will add iOS support and merge it here.
