Entity list relationship in Android room

I'm trying to load the entity sublist, but I want to avoid 2 queries

I'm thinking about querying in TypeConverter, but I really don't know if this is a good idea

My entity:

@Entity
class Region(
        @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
        var id: Int = 0,
        var name: String = "",
        var locales: List<Locale> = listOf())

@Entity(foreignKeys = arrayOf(ForeignKey(
        entity = Region::class,
        parentColumns = arrayOf("id"),
        childColumns = arrayOf("regionId"),
        onDelete = CASCADE,
        onUpdate = CASCADE
)))
class Locale(
        @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
        var id: Int = 0,
        var regionId: Int = 0,
        var name: String = "")

DAOs：

@Dao
interface RoomRegionDao{
    @Insert
    fun insert(region: Region)

    @Delete
    fun delete(region: Region)

    @Query("select * from region")
    fun selectAll(): Flowable<List<Region>>
}

@Dao
interface RoomLocaleDao{
    @Insert
    fun insert(locale: Locale)

    @Query("select * from locale where regionId = :arg0")
    fun selectAll(regionId: Int): List<Locale>
}

Database:

@Database(entities = arrayOf(Region::class, Locale::class), version = 1)
@TypeConverters(RoomAppDatabase.Converters::class)
abstract class RoomAppDatabase : RoomDatabase() {
    abstract fun regionDao(): RoomRegionDao
    abstract fun localeDao(): RoomLocaleDao

    inner class Converters {
        @TypeConverter
        fun toLocales(regionId: Int): List<Locale> {
            return localeDao().selectAll(regionId)
        }

        @TypeConverter
        fun fromLocales(locales: List<Locale>?): Int {
            locales ?: return 0
            if (locales.isEmpty()) return 0

            return locales.first().regionId
        }
    }
}

It does not work because inner classes cannot be used as converter classes

resolvent:

I think TypeConverter is only applicable to static methods. I say this according to the examples of here and here

From the relationship section here:

So I think it is best to add @Ignore to your locales attribute and create a method on RoomLocaleDao, that is, insert List< Locale> and call it after inserting Region.

The method of inserting region can return inserted ID
