Here's what I did (this is to prevent an additional constructor):

  Class<T> clazz;
    TypeConverter<T> typeConverter;
    JsonMapper<T> mapper;
    protected SingleFieldSerialization<T> singleFieldSerialization;


    private void init() {
        if (typeConverter == null && mapper == null) {
            try {
                typeConverter = LoganSquare.typeConverterFor(getPersistentClass());
            } catch (NoSuchTypeConverterException e) {
                mapper = LoganSquare.mapperFor(getPersistentClass());
            }
        }
    }


    public Class<T> getPersistentClass() {
        if (clazz == null) {
            this.clazz = (Class<T>) ((ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0];
        }
        return clazz;
    }

@peterbetos Your solution gives me this error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String java.lang.Class.getCanonicalName()' on a null object reference

@Vinvent-Loi: look here https://gist.github.com/meierjan/36c885d76f1fda768837a27ea946eca3

@peterbetos, @Vincent-Loi, @meierjan: Unfortunately I haven't found any way to get rid of converters extending RealmListConverter<T>. For each type I had to create corresponding RealmListConverter.
Another solution (time-consuming one, but profitable for community that uses both LoganSquare & Realm) is to create a fork of LoganSquare that depends on Realm and generates code that does all of the above without any custom Type Converters.

Whoops, sorry forgot about this. I solved mine using the ParameterizedType implementation. You can refer to my implementation below:
https://gist.github.com/peterbetos/fb42ac87c31accd2efc43e33ddaaecc3

But yeah, @krzysztof-miemiec, no solution so far regarding the extensions.
Unless.... someone will do annotation processing for it? :D
