How to update column value to null?

How can I set a column value to null? there’s absolutely no documentation about how to work with null values in columns and I start to think that it’s impossible to do with DBFlow.

@Column var token: String? = null

SQLite.update(User::class.java).set(User_Table.token.?)

can’t find any method that would allow me to set it as null.

you probably will have to cast it to a type, use cast type of downloadedAt

yes its because we have multiple methods to enforce typesafety within calling code so you place objects of proper type on a specific Property instance. I may think of better way in future instead of using null. if you predeclared date as: val date: Date? = null then pass it in, you wouldn’t need casting.

Thanks for the swift reply, the cast was the crucial bit of information (as .eq(null) itself would not compile and I somehow didn’t get the idea of casting null).

For further reference: In my case, I used: SQLite.update(Area.class).set(Area_Table.downloadedAt.eq((Date) null).execute();

Thanks again!!
