We gave up upgrading to Room because we need to use FTS3/FTS4 virtual tables. Any plants to support it?
ma...@gmail.com
Florina Muntenescu (Android developer advocate at Google) told me that FTS support will definitely NOT be in Room 1.0 final. It is postponed to an indeterminate later version.

It is possible to work with virtual tables and fts4 while using Room v1. You just need to create and access it by yourself using sql queries. Not perfect but it works for me (just did it a few days ago).
Can't wait for this feature to be in Room

If your FTS tables are separate from the rest of your model it's a viable solution. Mine are fully integrated with my model (almost all queries have JOINs with virtual tables) so it's a no-go.

any news?

I'm really looking forward to use FTS natively with Room. Can you give some kind of roadmap? E.g. is it considered for Room 1.2 or Room 2.0?

Using FTS should not block you from using room, you just cannot use compile time checked queries (you can still use them in RawQuery though).

Thanks for the fast answer, Yigit. I'm more then happy to not have to work with RawQuery's anymore, and I don't want to jump back to it for using FTS.
Based on your answer I would guess that it's delayed / postponed any longer, cause it's already working with this kind of workaround?

We cannot declare an FTS table using Room entities, as there are no options for that. So, are you suggesting that we should create and manage this table manually, but still use a Room DAO for access?

on the ETA: Sorry I cannot give one yet because we've not done the prioritization meeting for post IO.
#10: yes that is a workaround that you can do right now. It is not great but RawQuery will still properly work since it allows you to return any pojo. Probably it is better to isolate these into their custom dao which can use a protected RawQuery method and provide public APIs like any other dao.

- Sample project to trigger the issue:
I'm using the Androidx fragment testing library androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.1.0-alpha03 that contains class androidx.fragment.app.testing.FragmentScenario
There is an import in of a class that cannot be found anywhere: import androidx.fragment.testing.R;
This causes an issue of failing Robolectric tests due to exception:
