In Room 1.0.0-alpha1 it is currently not possible to access annotation information such as @ColumnInfo's name value. This is because it's RetentionPolicy is set to CLASS and not RUNTIME. This means that libraries using reflection cannot be built for Room.

Room currently does not support generated/dynamic queries, other than allowing you to run the raw method query(queryPhrase, values). This returns a cursor not an object. Having reflection access to Room annotations would allow the development of libraries that map cursor to POJO dynamically at runtime with reflection.

.

Besides that, is there a good use case?
