Bug 168153 [DataBinding] Simplify the management of the default Realm
In the bug where Realms where born there was talk of making the setting of the Realm a little more foolproof. Currently when setting the Realm the developer needs to remember to retrieve the current Realm and to set it back in a finally block to be a good citizen. I think Boris spoke of something like the following to remedy this... Realm.setDefault(myRealm, new Runnable() { public void run() { //do stuff with myRealm as default } }); I've been finding myself writing a method that does just this in my own code. I think this should be added to Realm to ensure that the default realm is being set and reset correctly.

boolean hasRun = false;
		private Runnable runnable;
		SyncRunnable(Runnable runnable) {
			this.runnable = runnable;
		}
		public void run() {
			runnable.run();
			synchronized (this) {
				hasRun = true;
				this.notifyAll();
			}
		}
	}
}
