Room Using Date field

You’re converting from Date to Long (wrapper) and from long (primitive) to Date. I changed it to Long and it compiled. Besides, unboxing null in your converter produces a NPE.

public class DateConverter {

    @TypeConverter
    public static Date toDate(Long dateLong){
        return dateLong == null ? null: new Date(dateLong);
    }

    @TypeConverter
    public static Long fromDate(Date date){
        return date == null ? null : date.getTime();
    }
}
