Accessing data from Room Persistance annotations that use RetentionPolicy.CLASS during reflection

I'm writting a library for converting a cursor (returned by a raw sqlite query) to a room persistance object. In order to do this I am using refelction to get information about the Room entity a cursor is to map

I have hit an issue as it appears that @ColumnInfo, @Ignore, and most, if not all of Room's annotation are using "RetentionPolicy.CLASS". This means I cannot access them through refelection.

For example I would like to request the name value from the @ColumnInfo annotation of specific field. Currently running something along the lines of :

for (Field field : entityClassType.getDeclaredFields()) {
    Annotation[] a = field.getDeclaredAnnotations();
}

Will give me a of size zero as RetentionPolicy.CLASS objects are not returened by getDeclaredAnnotations

Is there anyway of accessing these fields, or an alternative approach to getting this information.

P.S. I do not want to modify/extend/recreate the annotations as this is expressly mean to be working with Room's annotations.
