Another way to update an existing object with all its fields in your Realm DB is using the method realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate():

Object obj = new Object();
obj.setField1(field1);
obj.setField2(field2);
realm.beginTransaction();
realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate(obj);
realm.commitTransaction();

If your object has a Primary Key, this method will update the object automatically without duplicate objects :)
