Realm-java: If you have inner class that implements RealmModel interface and your outer class extends RealmObject, I'm getting class not found exception during build process.

If I change the type of both inner and outer class to the same , build error is gone !!!

You added implements RealmModel but you most likely didn't add @RealmClass

[Zhuinden]

Also make sure it is public static class

I'm facing another issue now..

@RealmClass
public class Answer extends PreferenceBase implements RealmModel, Parcelable{

}

Error:(31, 8) error: Valid model classes must either extend RealmObject or implement RealmModel.

is this is because of Parcelable?

[Zhuinden]

extends PreferenceBase

You cannot do that.

gotcha !!!
