Inside the Room
summary
Explains how Room maps annotations to generated DAOs and uses the Android SQLite stack: Room’s compiler emits code, Room flips SQLite to WAL is enabled by default via PRAGMA, readers and writers run concurrently but only one writer can append to the WAL. Shows connection pool sizing tied to device memory, Room batches inserts per entity into a single transaction, and its InvalidationTracker uses DB triggers plus a temporary table to notify observers.
