Kotlin Room: Entities and Pojos should have a useful public constructor

When I run my application I got the following error.

Error: Entities and Pojos must have a usable public constructor. You can have an empty
  constructor or a constructor whose parameters match the fields (by name and type).
  Tried the following constructors but they failed to match:
  ChatMsg(java.lang.String,int) : [arg0 : null, arg1 : null]

Warning: Schema export directory is not provided to the annotation processor so we cannot export the schema. You can either provide `room.schemaLocation` annotation processor argument OR set exportSchema to false.

That's my build.gradle for the project

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.2-4'
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
        jcenter()  
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha4'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath 'com.letv.sarrsdesktop:BlockCanaryExPlugin:0.9.9.2'

    }
}   
allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

That's my build.gradle for the module

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

    kapt "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.0.0-alpha3"
    compile "android.arch.persistence.room:rxjava2:1.0.0-alpha3" 
}

What's my pojo class

@Entity
data class ChatMsg(var msg: String,
              var to: Int) {

    companion object TO {
        val MASTER = 0
        val ROBOT = 1
    }

    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    var id: Int = 0
    var createTime: Long = System.currentTimeMillis()
    var translMsg: String = ""
}

I have my problem, but the results cannot seem to answer my question. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks for the first!

The error message is accurate:

You can have an empty constructor or a constructor whose parameters match the fields (by name and type ).

One thing should be noted. You must use the Site Object Annotation to put @PrimaryKey

in the right place.

so that your entity has an empty constructor:



@Entity
data class ChatMsg(var msg: String, var to: Int) {
    constructor() : this("", UNKNOWN);

    companion object TO {
        val MASTER = 0
        val ROBOT = 1
        private val UNKNOWN = -1; // just use for initializing
    }

    @field: PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    var id: Int = 0
}

OR must have a constructor that matches the fields.

@Entity
data class ChatMsg(
        @field:PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true) var id: Int, 
        var createTime: Long = System.currentTimeMillis(),
        var translMsg: String = "", 
        var msg: String, var to: Int
) {

    companion object TO {
        val MASTER = 0
        val ROBOT = 1
    }

}
