reuse objects removed from realm database

Question

I want to reuse realm objects which are once removed from database.

Lets say, I have removed one object from database.

Story story = realm.where(Story.class).equalTo("id","id").findFirst();

story.deleteFromRealm();

Now, I want to pool the removed object and want to reuse it with different "id"(primary key) instead of creating a new object every single time.

The current implementation does not allow me to do this and throws an exception.

My question is, is there another way to achieve the same thing. If not, should this be a feature added to realm.

The requested code which throws the exception

Story story1 = StoryObjPool.getInstance().getStory();
            if(story1 != null){
                story1.setId(1234);
            }

The exception

java.lang.IllegalStateException: This Realm instance has already been closed, making it unusable.

Answer 1

Story story = realm.where(Story.class).equalTo("id","id").findFirst();
// create standalone object that not reference to realm
Story stoyStandalone = realm.copyFromRealm(story);

story.deleteFromRealm();

// save standalone object to realm
stoyStandalone.setId(...);
realm.copyToRealm(stoyStandalone);
