DatabaseView

public abstract @interface DatabaseView
implements Annotation

androidx.room.DatabaseView

Marks a class as an SQLite view.

The value of the annotation is a SELECT query used when the view is created.

The class will behave like normal POJO when it is used in a Dao. You can SELECT FROM a DatabaseView similar to an Entity, but you can not INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE into a DatabaseView.

Similar to an Entity, you can use ColumnInfo and Embedded inside to customize the data class.

Example: 

 @DatabaseView(
     "SELECT id, name, release_year FROM Song " +
     "WHERE release_year >= 1990 AND release_year <= 1999")
 public class SongFrom90s {
   long id;
   String name;
   @ColumnInfo(name = "release_year")
   private int releaseYear;
 }

Views have to be registered to a RoomDatabase via Database.views().
