Inside the Room
summary
Deep dive into Room shows how it maps three layers—SQLite, Android/AndroidX and Room runtime—so readers and writers actually behave: file locks escalate from shared to exclusive, rollback journals versus the write-ahead log change concurrency, and Room enables WAL automatically on devices above Jellybean. Room serializes commits on a single-threaded transaction executor, implements triggers and an invalidation tracker to notify LiveData/Rx, and recommends paging (cursor window ~2MB) or small queries rather than giant transactions to avoid stalls.
