Let's start working on and replacing the database with RealmDB in this submodule.
RealmDB is creating buzz in the Android programming world; it is a simple alternative to the SQLite database, which comes built into the Android SDK. Realm is not using SQLite as its core engine; it has its own C++ core, exclusively architected for mobiles. Realm saves the data in a universal, table-based format with a C++ core. Realm handles a range of sophisticated queries and can allow data accessibility from multiple languages as well as numerous ad hoc queries.
- Realm is 10x faster than SQLite
- Easy to use
- Cross-platform
- Memory efficient
- Well documented and excellent community support

The traditional SQLite + ORM abstraction is leaky, ORM simply converts objects and their methods...
