How to Get Nested Children From Firebase - android

I need to get the nested children (See Photo) from firebase. I would like to show a recyclerview that is only from a particular user. Below is what I have so far, but this is giving me all of the children.
DatabaseReference notificationInviteRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child(Strings.InvitesReference);
notificationInviteRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot1) {
ArrayList<Model_Notifications_Invite> model_notification_invites = new ArrayList<>();
for (DataSnapshot snapshot2:snapshot1.getChildren()) {
Model_Notifications_Invite invites = snapshot2.getValue(Model_Notifications_Invite.class);
model_notifications_invites.add(invites);
}
myNotificationsAdapter.updateNotificationsList(model_notifications_invites);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
//throw databaseError.toException();
}
});

If I understand correctly, you have two unknown levels in your data structure, which means you need two nested loops in your onDataChange: one for each level.
DatabaseReference notificationInviteRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child(Strings.InvitesReference);
notificationInviteRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot1) {
ArrayList<Model_Notifications_Invite> model_notification_invites = new ArrayList<>();
for (DataSnapshot snapshot2:snapshot1.getChildren()) {
for (DataSnapshot snapshot3:snapshot2.getChildren()) {
Model_Notifications_Invite invites = snapshot3.getValue(Model_Notifications_Invite.class);
model_notifications_invites.add(invites);
}
}
myNotificationsAdapter.updateNotificationsList(model_notifications_invites);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // 👈 never ignore errors
}
});

Get the child count from a Firebase database and put it on an array list

I'm trying to get the count of "msanID" but it always returns the number as '0'. I'm using a separate class (ManageNodeName) to record the data and retrieving them back at list view.
I suspect the error is in the method of getting the String MSAN_NAMESP.
Any lead may help. Thanks!
List View
databaseNodes = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("MSAN List");
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
databaseNodes.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
manageNodeList.clear();
for(DataSnapshot nodesnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
progressDialog.dismiss();
ManageNodeName manageNodeName = nodesnapshot.getValue(ManageNodeName.class);
manageNodeList.add(manageNodeName);
MSAN_NAMESP = manageNodeName.getNodeID();
}
ManageNodeList adapter = new ManageNodeList(ManageSelectMSAN.this, manageNodeList);
manageListViewMSANs.setAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
query = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("MSAN MTCE")
.orderByChild("msanID")
.equalTo(MSAN_NAMESP);
query.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
int size = (int) dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
ManageNodeName.setCount(size);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}
Data is loaded from Firebase (and most cloud APIs) asynchronously. While the data is being loaded, your main code continues to run, so that the user can continue to use the app. Then when the data is available, your onDataChange is called with that data.
This means that all code that needs the data, needs to either be inside onDataChange or be called from there.
So:
databaseNodes.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
manageNodeList.clear();
for(DataSnapshot nodesnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
progressDialog.dismiss();
ManageNodeName manageNodeName = nodesnapshot.getValue(ManageNodeName.class);
manageNodeList.add(manageNodeName);
MSAN_NAMESP = manageNodeName.getNodeID();
query = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("MSAN MTCE")
.orderByChild("msanID")
.equalTo(MSAN_NAMESP);
query.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
int size = (int) dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
ManageNodeName.setCount(size);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // never ignore errors
}
});
}
ManageNodeList adapter = new ManageNodeList(ManageSelectMSAN.this, manageNodeList);
manageListViewMSANs.setAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // never ignore errors
}
});
Also see: getContactsFromFirebase() method return an empty list for a longer example, and alternative approaches.

Jump to Firebase parent Nodes from Child Nodes

Hello all i have a my fire-base structure like this
Firebase Database
I have an array list inside an node in fire-base , I need to loop through this list and jump to each ID to get information i need like the database photo shows.
what I've tried so far
public static void checkIfCurrentUserLiked(final HomeFragment.PostsViewHolder postsViewHolder, String postKey) {
userID = Objects.requireNonNull(FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser()).getUid();
likesRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("likes");
postsRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child(postKey);
postsRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
if (dataSnapshot.hasChild("likes")) {
for (DataSnapshot ds : dataSnapshot.child("likes").getChildren()) {
likesRef.child(Objects.requireNonNull(ds.getValue()).toString())
.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot snapshot) {
Like like = snapshot.getValue(Like.class);
if (like != null && like.getLikedUserID().equals(userID)) {
postsViewHolder.likesImage.setImageResource
(R.drawable.ic_item_home_post_like_filled);
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) { }
});
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) { }
});
}
i have no error , just nothing happens , data are not fetched as expected
Change this:
postsRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child(postKey);
into this:
postsRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("posts").child(postKey);
According to your database, you have node posts before the postKey, therefore you need to add it when referencing to a location.

Retrieving nested data from multiple records in a Firebase Database

I'm trying to retrieve nested data from multiple records and display them in a ListView. My data is recorded like so:
I want to display the GroupNumber and the GroupVaccinationDate of all GroupVaccinations recorded in a listView but at the moment the listView remains empty when I run the following code:
listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listItemAllGroupVaccinations);
databaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("groupVaccinations");
groupVaccinations = new ArrayList<>();
protected void onStart(){
super.onStart();
databaseReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot groupVaccinationSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
GroupVaccination groupVaccination = groupVaccinationSnapshot.getValue(GroupVaccination.class);
groupVaccinations.add(groupVaccination);
}
AllGroupVaccinationList groupVaccinationInfoAdapter = new AllGroupVaccinationList(ActivityAllGroupVaccinations.this, groupVaccinations);
listView.setAdapter(groupVaccinationInfoAdapter);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Gaston's answer will show you all vaccinations in a single group. If instead you want to show all vaccinations in all groups, you can loop over the nested snapshots in your onDataChange:
databaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("groupVaccinations");
groupVaccinations = new ArrayList<>();
AllGroupVaccinationList groupVaccinationInfoAdapter = new AllGroupVaccinationList(ActivityAllGroupVaccinations.this, groupVaccinations);
listView.setAdapter(groupVaccinationInfoAdapter);
databaseReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot groupVaccinationSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
for(DataSnapshot vaccinationSnapshot : groupVaccinationSnapshot.getChildren()){
GroupVaccination groupVaccination = vaccinationSnapshot.getValue(GroupVaccination.class);
groupVaccinations.add(groupVaccination);
}
}
groupVaccinationInfoAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // don't ignore errors
}
});
I also changed the code to call groupVaccinationInfoAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(), so that you can keep using the same adapter and update it if needed.
You will need to go one level deeper where your id -LZk5tpB5PXqHVJkj8Vz (GroupID) contains all the sub pushKeys (groupVaccinationID) with data inside.
listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listItemAllGroupVaccinations);
databaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("groupVaccinations").child("-LZk5tpB5PXqHVJkj8Vz");
groupVaccinations = new ArrayList<>();
protected void onStart(){
super.onStart();
databaseReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot groupVaccinationSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
GroupVaccination groupVaccination = groupVaccinationSnapshot.getValue(GroupVaccination.class);
groupVaccinations.add(groupVaccination);
}
AllGroupVaccinationList groupVaccinationInfoAdapter = new AllGroupVaccinationList(ActivityAllGroupVaccinations.this, groupVaccinations);
listView.setAdapter(groupVaccinationInfoAdapter);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}
EDIT
The -LZk5tpB5PXqHVJkj8Vz child should be avoided since is hardcoded to show you this example, instead, you should take that child key from where you get your GroupID, doing that you can get as Frank says all the vaccinations from each GroupID.

Firebase - Adapter is called before my array has any elements and returns an empty RecyclerView

I'm facin a really weird problem, Im calling two nodes in my database , from one node I get all my user ids , then I just loop inside my user node to get the user metadata. The problem is that when I run the debugger, it seems like the mAdapter is beign called before the data is beign fetched. So my adapter set the recyclerview with no data. After the adapter has been called, my query fetching the user begins and the array is populated normally
This is what I have done so far
mDatabase.child("teamsNode").child(teamID).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
mDatabase.child("users").child(snapshot.getKey()).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
UserModel model = dataSnapshot.getValue(UserModel.class);
String playerName = model.getName();
model.setName(playerName);
mArrayPlayers.add(model);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) { }
});
}
mAdapter = new PlayersAdapter(mArrayPlayers,mContext,R.layout.recycler_row);
if(mAdapter.getItemCount()>0)
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) { }
});
As you can see, I set the adapter to the recyclerview after the first foreach that fetchs all the data, I know that beign asynchronous I need to wait for the inner mDatabase to be done but if I move the setting of the adapter one line above to wait for the second call to finish it does the same, any idea?
Database structure is like this
teamsNode
|__Jm2KSMjslpow2Ipoasz : true
|__601KSMjsldfjd2Ipos0 : true
|__asgm2Kshalpow2IposJ : true
users
|__Jm2KSMjslpow2Ipoasz
|_____name: randomname1
|__601KSMjsldfjd2Ipos0
|_____name: randomname2
|__asgm2Kshalpow2IposJ
|_____name: randomname3
Recyclerview is not populated. Any idea?
A weird thing is that sometimes runing it with the debugger does fill the data, but its rarely to happend.
If you want to only initialize the adapter when all data is loaded, you will need to do so in the nested onDataChange callback:
mDatabase.child("teamsNode").child(teamID).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshotTeam) {
AtomicInteger loadedUserCount = new AtomicInteger(0);
for(DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshotTeam.getChildren()){
mDatabase.child("users").child(snapshot.getKey()).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
UserModel model = dataSnapshot.getValue(UserModel.class);
String playerName = model.getName();
model.setName(playerName);
mArrayPlayers.add(model);
if (loadedUserCount.getAndIncrement() + 1 == dataSnapshotTeam.getChildrenCount()) {
mAdapter = new PlayersAdapter(mArrayPlayers,mContext,R.layout.recycler_row);
if(mAdapter.getItemCount()>0) {
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // don't ignore errors
}
});
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // don't ignore errors
}
});
The problem you have is that the calls to the addListenerForSingleValueEvent methods are asynchronous, so they are executed in another thread. When you call the second addListenerForSingleValueEvent this is executed in another thread, while the main thread follows its execution. You have to do the call of your adapter in the answer of your second call addListenerForSingleValueEvent in the onDataChange method. In this way to avoid anomalous operations of your application.
Hope this will help.
mDatabase.child("teamsNode").child(teamID).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
mArrayPalyer.clear();//add this
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
mDatabase.child("users").child(snapshot.getKey()).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
UserModel model = dataSnapshot.getValue(UserModel.class);
String playerName = model.getName();
model.setName(playerName);
mArrayPlayers.add(model);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}
mAdapter = new PlayersAdapter(mArrayPlayers,mContext,R.layout.recycler_row);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter); //makes changes here because you are checking for adapter item count before setting it and this always return null.
}
You can look at my code I am using ValueEventListener just like you and binding the data to recycler view
ValueEventListener postListener = new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot1 : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
UserListModel userListModel =dataSnapshot1.getValue(UserListModel.class);
userModelArrayList.add(userListModel);
}
userListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
Log.w(">>value", "loadPost:onCancelled", databaseError.toException());
}
};
//mDatabase is the reference to the Firebase Node
mDatabase.addValueEventListener(postListener);
userListRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(M.gridLayoutRecyclerView(getActivity() , 2));
userListAdapter = new UserListAdapter(getActivity(), userModelArrayList);
userListRecyclerView.setAdapter(userListAdapter);

Make sure that all Firebase single ValueEventsListeners finished

As mentioned in docs, it's better to fetch additional data, than nest objects in database.
According to this, how can I ensure that all data came?
I came up to this solution, but I'm not sure if this will work.
mPetsReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
private List<Pair<Pet, Owner>> mData;
private long mChildrenCount;
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
mData = new ArrayList<>();
mChildrenCount = dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
for (DataSnapshot data : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
Pet pet = data.getValue(Pet.class);
mOwnersReference.child(pet.getOwnerId())
.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
mData.add(new Pair<>(pet, dataSnapshot.getValue(Owner.class)));
if (mData.size() == mChildrenCount) {
everythingCame();
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
mChildrenCount--;
if (mData.size() == mChildrenCount) {
everythingCame();
}
}
});
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
