I know the previous comment was a long time ago, but im posting this in case someone else has the same problem, just change line 30 private Map<Class<? extends RealmObject>, AtomicLong> keys; to private Map<Class<? extends RealmModel>, AtomicLong> keys; although RealmModel is an interface and should use implements instead of extends, it will work in this context using wildcards, then change line 54 RealmObject to RealmModel too (using Realm 2.1.1 ) by the way nice and useful class!!

@jalqa +1 exactly what I did and it works too though I was initially uncomfortable and wondered whether the wildcard class extending RealmModel would work.

tldr; replace all instances of RealmObject with RealmModel and it should just work.

I initialised the code but i'm wondering how do i initialize the xml .As in do you leave the id value empty or use same id in all textviews?

if i add data,then delete data，”nextKey” has problem!

What problem?
