I have a questions how could i push array list to my freebase data base
and also read it to add a new element , then push it again.
In the above photo you can see i have added array list joinedStudents
and i need to read it and push new elements to it
I've tried the following
DatabaseReference requestsRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
requestsRef.child("requests").child(requestID).child("joinedStudents");
requestsRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot d : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String jR = d.getValue(String.class);
joinedStudents.add(jR);
}
joinedStudents.add(studentID);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
Log.d(TAG, "error fetching data from firebase");
}
});
for (String string : joinedStudents) {
requestsRef.child("requests").child(requestID).child("joinedStudents").setValue(string);
}
but it's not working
I believe you have your references slightly mixed up. Try something like:
DatabaseReference joinedStudentsRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("requests").child(requestID).child("joinedStudents");
joinedStudentsRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot d : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String jR = d.getValue(String.class);
joinedStudents.add(jR);
}
joinedStudents.add(studentID);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
Log.d(TAG, "error fetching data from firebase");
}
});
for (String string : joinedStudents) {
joinedStudentsRef.child("1").setValue(string); // setValue is for key, value
// but you have an array
}
Where your reference is now the direct node that you want to monitor/read/write

I am trying to read data from firebase in my android app. This is how it looks.
I want to read the marked data. I am able to read the key of categories child. But unable to read the ids values.
Here's my code:
dbCategories = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("categories");
dbCategories.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
if (dataSnapshot.exists()){
for (DataSnapshot ds: dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
String name = ds.getKey();
String ids = ds.child("ids").getValue(String.class);
Log.i(name, "onDataChange: "+ids);
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
You could not connect to the root you want. For example, tcat2, you can modify the ids.
You must specify the path from which you want to read.
You can try this :
dbCategories = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("categories");
dbCategories.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
if (dataSnapshot.exists()){
for (DataSnapshot ds: dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
String name = ds.getKey();
for(DataSnapshot ds1 : ds.child(name).child("ids").getChildren()){
String ids = ds1.getValue(String.class);
Log.i(name, "onDataChange: "+ids);
}
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
I hope I helped you.
I have the data in firebase as given below:
I want to get the Customer and Device details for each of the Form ID. The Form IDs are generated uniquely by firebase.
I just somehow need to get access to these Form IDs.
I have set the databaseReference as follows:
databaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("users").child(userID).child("forms");
Then I have tried the following code to retrieve the required data:
databaseReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot formsSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
for (DataSnapshot formIDSnapshot : formsSnapshot.getChildren()) {
Device device = formIDSnapshot.getValue(Device.class);
if (device != null) {
// get and use the data
}
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
Update:
I am now successfully able to retrieve the form IDs, thanks to the answer by #Frank.
Now, to get the Device and Customer details I have to write the following code inside the ValueEventListener after getting the form IDs:
databaseReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot formsSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String formID = formsSnapshot.getKey(); //Retrieving the formID here
//New code addition
// to get the reference to device details node
databaseReference.child(Objects.requireNonNull(formID)).child("Device details").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
Device device = dataSnapshot.getValue(Device.class);
if (device != null) {
// required device details here
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException();
}
});
// to get the reference to customer details node
databaseReference.child(Objects.requireNonNull(formID)).child("Customer details").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
Customer customer = dataSnapshot.getValue(Customer.class);
if (customer != null) {
//required customer details here
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException();
}
});
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException();
}
});
I understand that this is a messy code and I would like to get some cleaner approach for the same.
You can get the key of a node by calling DataSnapshot.getKey(). So to get your form IDs:
databaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("users").child(userID).child("forms");
databaseReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot formsSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String formID = formsSnapshot.getKey();
Device device = formsSnapshot.getValue(Device.class);
if (device != null) {
// get and use the data
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // never ignore errors
}
});
There is no need for the nested loops. Simply get the children list and loop over it once. At every iteration, cast dataSnapshot to FormID class and afterwards just use its properties.
i would also suggest that you use SingleValueEventListener instead of ValueEventListener if you do not need to observe the data all the time
I am working on an Android application. I want the first child (first UID) of the parent 'support' and store it in a String variable. How do I get the value of the first UID from the list?
I tried one approach. It doesn't work though.
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot1) {
if (dataSnapshot1.exists()) {
String futureUID = "";
for(DataSnapshot futureUIDdatasnapshot:dataSnapshot1.getChildren() ){
futureUID = futureUIDdatasnapshot.getKey();
break;
}
/*Getting the first UID from the list of UID's in queue in 'future'*/
futureUID = dataSnapshot1.getChildren().iterator().next().getKey();
/*Moving a card from 'future' to 'serving'*/
societyServiceUIDReference.child(FIREBASE_CHILD_SERVING).child(futureUID).setValue(FIREBASE_ACCEPTED);
/*Removing the UID from 'future' after it is placed in 'serving'*/
societyServiceUIDReference.child(FIREBASE_CHILD_FUTURE).child(futureUID).removeValue();
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
NOTE: 'futureUID' is the UID I want
Try the following:
DatabaseReference ref=FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("support");
Query queryUid=ref.orderByKey().limitToFirst(1);
queryUid.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot datas : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String key=datas.getKey();
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
Try
DatabaseReference mDatabase;
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
.orderByKey().limitToFirst(n) is what does the trick. It orders the query results by key and returns only the first n results; in this case 1
mDatabase.getChild("support").orderByKey().limitToFirst(1)
.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener () {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
if(dataSnapshot.exists()){
for (DataSnapshot supportItem: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String futureUID =supportItem.getKey();
}
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
//Catch your error here
}
});

A simple question:
Referring to my database image, I want to get the values of the children of node "user" in a list in an Activity, i.e. values "a" and "m" should be displayed in the list.
What should I use and how?
Please try this code:
DatabaseReference yourRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("user");
yourRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
List<String> usersList = new ArrayList<>();
for (DataSnapshot ds : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String userName = (String) ds.getKey();
usersList.add(userName);
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // don't ignore errors
}
});
This is the way in which you'll have in your list, a, m ans so on.
Hope it helps.
You can get the info from the docs here
List<User> allUsers = new ArrayList<>();
DatabaseReference ref = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("user");
ref.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
allUsers.clear();
for (DataSnapshot userSnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
allUsers.add(userSnapshot.getValue(User.class));
}
yourRecyclerViewAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
// Getting Users failed, log a message
Log.w(TAG, "loadUser:onCancelled", databaseError.toException());
// ...
}
});
I would like to get all the values from my database. But the problem is that I can't make the database reference correct or the for loop of the datasnapshot in order to get all the values. The outcome was always null and without errors.
Here is my code:
databaseReports.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
reportList.clear();
for(DataSnapshot userSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
Reports reports = userSnapshot.getValue(Reports.class);
reportList.add(reports);
}
ReportList adapter = new ReportList(ViewReports.this, reportList);
listViewReports.setAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
I want to get the value of the all the date nodes.
here is my databaseReference
FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("REPORTS")
Using this produce and empty list because of the referencing.
databaseReports = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("REPORTS/05-10-2017");
But this one only shows the data under 05-10-2017
please help me get all the data from sub nodes under REPORTS.TIA
You may try this...
databaseReports.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
reportList.clear();
for(DataSnapshot ymdSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
Log.d("ymdSnapshot", ymdSnapshot.getKey().toString());
for(DataSnapshot repSnapshot : ymdSnapshot.getChildren()){
Reports reports = repSnapshot.getValue(Reports.class);
reportList.add(reports);
}
}
ReportList adapter = new ReportList(ViewReports.this, reportList);
listViewReports.setAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
}
You may try this... partII
databaseReports.child("05-09-2017").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
reportList.clear();
for(DataSnapshot repSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
Reports reports = repSnapshot.getValue(Reports.class);
reportList.add(reports);
}
ReportList adapter = new ReportList(ViewReports.this, reportList);
listViewReports.setAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
}
