How to create a table with two or more foreign keys using an Android room?

Question

According to the entity-relationship model, the relationship between tbl_postand tbl_categorycan be specified using the Room Persistency Library as follows:

@Entity(foreignKeys = @ForeignKey(
    entity = TblPost.class,
    parentColumns = "id",
    childColumns = "tbl_post_id")
)
class TblPostCategory {
    @PrimaryKey
    public String id;

    @ColumnInfo(name = "user_id")
    public String postId;
}

However, it TblPostCategorydepends on two foreign keys: post_idand category_idon TblPostand TbCategory.

How to describe a relationship using room annotations?

Answer 1

TblCategory.java

@Entity
class TblCategory {
    @PrimaryKey
    @ColumnInfo(name="cat_id")
    public String id;

    @ColumnInfo(name = "cat_name")
    public String name;
}

TblPost.java (there is no link to a foreign key, but this is not important for the case)

@Entity
class TblPost {
    @PrimaryKey
    @ColumnInfo(name="post_id")
    public String id;

    public String title, content, create_time, author_id;
}

TblPostCategory.java

@Entity(foreignKeys = {
    @ForeignKey(
        entity = TblPost.class,
        parentColumns = "post_id",
        childColumns = "tbl_post_id"
    ),
    @ForeignKey(
        entity = TblCategory.class,
        parentColumns = "cat_id",
        childColumns = "tbl_category_id"
    )
})
class TblPostCategory {
    @PrimaryKey
    @ColumnInfo(name="tbl_post_id")
    public String id;

    @ColumnInfo(name = "tbl_category_id")
    public String categoryId;
}
