Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to save data to a local database, Room, which is part of the Jetpack libraries. We also saved items and read from the Room database. In the process, we also learned how to update items in the Room database and how to handle automated migrations in our database. Additionally, we learned how to do long-running operations using WorkManager, its best practices, and how to write tests for our workers.

In the next chapter, we will learn about runtime permissions and how to request them in our app.
