Hi,

1. Where can I find the whole project for this?
2. How to and where do I use this?

Thank for the gist.

This really help :D

Hi, for anybody who finds this like I did: you should NEVER open a Realm instance and then not close it - Realm should probably be passed here from the enclosing activity which manages its lifecycle.
