Cannot modify managed objects outside of a write transaction ( Realm + Android )

Question

I have implement the following method to update UserProfile from realm db.

override fun updateCurrentUser(userProfile: UserProfile, successAction: () -> Unit) {
        val realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance()
        realm.executeTransactionAsync(
                object : Realm.Transaction {
                    override fun execute(realm: Realm) {

                        val user = realm.where(UserProfile::class.java).equalTo("userName", userProfile.userName).findFirst()
                        user?.firstName = userProfile.firstName
                        user?.lastName = userProfile.lastName
                        user?.gender = userProfile.gender
                        user?.height = userProfile.height
                        user?.weight = userProfile.weight
                        user?.dob = userProfile.dob
                        user?.firstTimeSetupDone = true

                    }
                },
                object : Realm.Transaction.OnSuccess {
                    override fun onSuccess() {
                        Log.i(TAG, "Saved User successfully with $userProfile")
                        successAction()
                    }

                },
                object : Realm.Transaction.OnError {
                    override fun onError(error: Throwable?) {
                        Log.e(TAG, "Error saving user", error)
                    }
                }
        )
    }

But it throws the following error even though I'm executing it under realm.executeTransactionAsync

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot modify managed objects outside of a write transaction.

You're getting the exception in `submitData`. This is `updateCurrentUser` — EpicPandaForce, Feb 20 '18 at 14:34

Object queried by realm can't be modified, simple way to solve this problem is to new a object, copy realm object fields to this new one. If you want to persist，call insertOrUpdate method to save it in realm.

you can call this to start transaction as error said you have to open write transaction:

realmObj.beginTransaction();
//do your updating stuff here
realmObj.commitTransaction();
