Support entity classes that are inner classes #1006
Description
Describe the bug
Placing entity classes annotated with @Entity and @BaseEntity in another class will result in an error when building.
Basic info (please complete the following information):
- ObjectBox version: 2.9.1
- Reproducibility: always
- Device: N/A (compile time error)
- OS: N/A (Android library)
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Create the following hierarchy of classes and build
public class Holder {
@BaseEntity
public static abstract class Parent {
@Id
long boxId;
private String text;
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
}
@Entity
public static class Child extends Parent {
}
}
Logs, stack traces
Won't provide because this won't help in any way as IDE's build errors will be much clearer when dev-team build it themselves

Thanks for reporting! This is due to generated code missing imports of the inner class (
error: cannot find symbol).A workaround is to make at least the
@Entityclass a top-level class.Internal issue
objectbox-java#159For anyone else affected, it helps us prioritize issues if you thumbs up the first post (GitHub can sort issues by thumbs ups)!
