Realm Database not persisting data on next app session

I am writing to a Realm database (with beginTransaction) and then soon after commit, I can halt the process in debugger and run a query and find all the written data being queried.

Then I restart the debugger (Android Studio), and I run the same query (and I see that Realm realm object has the same file name), but the query this time is unable to find any data

// inside the Application class

if (appFirstTime == false){
        Realm realm3 = Realm.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
        RealmResults<FeedDBTableRow> query3 = realm3.where(FeedDBTableRow.class).findAll();
        // here, in the second run of the app, after data is written in the first time run, 
        // i can't see any rows, query size = 0 although it should have 10 rows

        }
else{
    // get data and write on the first time of the app
    ArrayList<Feed> newsFeedList = response.getResults();


    Realm realm = Realm.getInstance(getApplicationContext());

    for (Feed f : newsFeedList) {
        realm.beginTransaction();
        FeedDBTableRow newRow = realm.createObject(FeedDBTableRow.class);

        newRow.setId(f.getId());
        newRow.setText(f.getText());
        newRow.setTime_created(f.getTime_created());
        newRow.setTime_modified(f.getTime_modified());
        newRow.setComments_count(f.getComments_count());
        newRow.setLikes_count(f.getLikes_count());
        newRow.setFeed_type(f.getFeed_type());
        newRow.setObj_id(f.getObj_id());
        newRow.setImage(f.getImage());
        newRow.setUser_name(f.getUser_name());
        newRow.setUser_earthmile_points(f.getUser_earthmile_points());
        newRow.setLiked(f.isLiked());
        newRow.setCommented(f.isCommented());
        newRow.setIs_private(f.is_private());
        newRow.setUrl(f.getUrl());
        newRow.setFeed_creator_id(f.getFeed_creator_id());

        realm.commitTransaction();
    }

    Realm realm2 = Realm.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
    RealmResults<FeedDBTableRow> query2 = realm2.where(FeedDBTableRow.class).findAll();
    // here I can see all the 10 rows in query object in database, when i query soon after writing in the same app session

    // set first time to false in preferences so that next time database is accessed
    appFirstTime = false

}

Realm class

public class FeedDBTableRow extends RealmObject {
    private int id;
    private String text;
    private Date time_created;
    private Date time_modified;
    private int comments_count;
    private int likes_count;
    private String feed_type;
    private int obj_id;
    private String image;
    private String user_name;
    private String user_earthmile_points;
    private boolean liked;
    private boolean commented;
    private boolean is_private;
    private String url;
    private int feed_creator_id;

}

This issues (and similar like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27041093/realm-java-data-lost-when-restarting-application) are because you Realm are making examples with

Realm.deleteRealm(realmConfiguration); // Clean slate

in Application.#onCreate() like so https://github.com/realm/realm-java/blob/61d14cbcb0419c1962f044500e34d92ac23112a4/examples/threadExample/src/main/java/io/realm/examples/threads/MyApplication.java.

Fix your examples.

I’m having the same problem, I persist in the background send a broadcast to the opened activity and the activity can’t find the persisted data.
