Currently Realm db is in version 3.1.4 for Android. In order to migrate your database to the latest version,you have to change the RealmConfiguration code as follows

RealmConfiguration config = new RealmConfiguration.Builder()
                   .schemaVersion(1)
                   .migration(new MyMigration()) // Migration to run instead of throwing an exception
                   .build()

Assuming your schema is not changing, you also have to create the MyMigration class as follows,

public class MyMigration implements RealmMigration {
  @Override
   public void migrate(DynamicRealm realm, long oldVersion, long newVersion) {
   }
}
