I want to get particular value using from DataSnapshot.
I am attaching the screenshot here so kindly check and help me to get particular value from Realtime Database.
Actually I am implementing chat application in which I want to get value of user from group_list.
Here is my code.
private void loadTotalGroupList() {
referenceMainUrl = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReferenceFromUrl("https://pure-coda-174710.firebaseio.com");
referenceGroupList = referenceMainUrl.child("group_list");
//Check if child is available or not.
referenceGroupList.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
if (dataSnapshot.exists()) {
Log.e("dataSnapshot"," ==>"+dataSnapshot);
Map<String, Object> newPost = (Map<String, Object>) dataSnapshot.getValue();
Log.e("newPost"," ==>"+newPost);
Log.e("user: ","==>" + newPost.get("user")); // Here I am getting null value
} else {
Log.e("Child not found", " >>>");
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}
and log showing like this. DataSnapshot { key = group_list, value = {First Group={-KtBH9gnTszNxcXjNu9A={message=assaasas, user=sakib}}} }
I have resolved my issue by using addChildEventListener
referenceGroupList.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {
#Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey) {
Log.e("dataSnapshot KEY", " ==>" + dataSnapshot.getKey());
}
#Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey) {
}
#Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
}
#Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey) {
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
Here dataSnapshot.getKey() returns all sub child of it.
You're listening to the location /group_list in your code. That means a a snapshot from that location will contain the following:
/First Group
/-KtBH9gnTszNxcXjNu9A
message = "..."
user = "..."
If you want to get the user value from that location, you'll have to dig into it using each intermediate path:
dataSnapshot.child("First Group").child("-KtBH9gnTszNxcXjNu9A").child("user").getValue()
Or more simply:
dataSnapshot.child("First Group"/-KtBH9gnTszNxcXjNu9A/user").getValue()
You can't skip the middle paths in the snapshot. Alternatively, you may want to listen to a location closer to the value you want:
referenceMainUrl.child("group_list/First Group/-KtBH9gnTszNxcXjNu9A");
This code runs in a loop and gives you values for all the 'user's
DatabaseReference dRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("group_list").child("First_Group");
dRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
String userName = snapshot.child("user").getValue(String.class);
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
In my app, I have used Firebase database and stored userID in a child and set the value of the child as username to get the username of the current user. Now I'm using addValueEventListener to get the username from the database. This is my Firebase structure.
The code is given below.
checkUsername.child("check").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
currentUser = dataSnapshot.child(getUserID()).getValue(String.class);
Log.d(TAG, "onDataChange: currentUser = " + currentUser);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
While debugging, String currentUser returns null.
Screenshot of debugged answer.
Since you have added the valueEventListener at the check node, so getting the child again makes no sense (Because the User ID is the key of check node and not a separate child).
Instead try calling dataSnapshot.getChildren(); directly to get the entire list of updated data and iterate through it to get whatever key value you need.
Something like this,
checkUsername.child("check").addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {
#Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey) {
String current value = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
Log.d("TAG", "onDataChange: " + current value);
}
#Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey) {}
#Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {}
#Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey) {}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {}
});
Another option in this particular use case is to add a ChildEventListener and get the value inside onChildAdded() method.
I am having a hard time with figuring out how to query my Firebase database. Here is what it looks like.
And here is my code:
//RETRIEVE
public ArrayList<Spacecraft> retrieve()
{
String myUserId = acct.getId();
//db.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {
db.child("/users/uid").equals(myUserId)
#Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
//fetchData(dataSnapshot);
fetchData(dataSnapshot);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
fetchData(dataSnapshot);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
}
#Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
return spacecrafts;
}
So db.addChildEventListener will retrieve the entire database. But what I want is to only retrieve data for users whose uid is equal to String myUserId. And I want to sort in ascending order by Level. I have read the docs and watched videos but I cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Query query = db.child("users").orderByChild("uid").equalTo("myUserId");
query.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot userSnapshot: snapshot.getChildren()) {
System.out.println("User "+userSnapshot.child("uid").getValue());
}
}
...
But if you're frequently accessing the data by UID, you're off restructuring your database to store all users under their own UID:
users
myUserId
Level: 2
NumCorrect: 8
You can then read the data with:
db.child("users/myUserId").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot) {
fetchData(dataSnapshot);
}
For more on Firebase queries, see the Firebase documentation on sorting and filtering data. Since you're new to NoSQL, I also recommend reading NoSQL data modeling and viewing Firebase for SQL developers.
You can reverse the array list
ArrayList<UserModel> user_list = new ArrayList<>();
for (DataSnapshot snapshot :dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
UserModel userModel = snapshot.getValue(UserModel.class);
user_list.add(userModel);
Collections.reverse(user_list);
}
This is my code for adding person object in firebase.
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference myRef = database.getReference("Person");
buttonSave.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
String name = editTextName.getText().toString().trim();
String address = editTextAddress.getText().toString().trim();
//Creating Person object
Person person = new Person();
person.setName(name);
person.setAddress(address);
new Firebase(Config.FIREBASE_URL).child("Person").push().setValue(person);
}
});
myRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot postSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
//Getting the data from snapshot
Person person = postSnapshot.getValue(Person.class);
//Adding it to a string
String string = "Name: " + person.getName() + "\nAddress: " + person.getAddress() + "\n\n";
//Displaying it on textview
textViewPersons.setText(string);
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
System.out.println("The read failed: " + databaseError.getMessage());
}
});
Adding data is working fine and every add creating a new key for person.
But addValueEventListener is showing me only last added entry. I want all the entries data.
Can anyone help me on this?
Every time anything changes in the Person node, you get notified through onDataChange(). In there you loop over the people and then for each call:
textViewPersons.setText(string);
So you're constantly replacing the contents of the text view with the information from each person. After each loop it will end up showing just the information for the last user. You can easily see that the code loops through all people by adding:
System.out.println(string);
With this you'll see each person in logcat, but only the last person in the text view.
One solution is to either use a ListView or RecyclerView, both of which handle lists of items. Another (quicker to implement) way to show all users it to append the strings in the text view:
textViewPersons.setText(textViewPersons.getText()+string+"\n");
Try this if it helps:
String dataviewer=new String();
Firebase firebase=new Firebase(Config.FIREBASE_URL);
buttonSave.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
String name = editTextName.getText().toString().trim();
String address = editTextAddress.getText().toString().trim();
//Creating Person object
Person person = new Person();
person.setName(name);
person.setAddress(address);
new Firebase(Config.FIREBASE_URL).child("Person").push().setValue(person);
}
});
firebase.child("Person").addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {
// Retrieve values as they are added to Firebase
#Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot snapshot, String previousChildKey) {
Map<String,Object> vals=(Map<String,Object>)snapshot.getValue();
String name_person=String.valueOf(vals.get("name"));
String address_person=String.valueOf(vals.get("address"));
dataviewer+="Name: " + name_person + "\nAddress: " + address_person + "\n\n";
}
#Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
}
#Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
}
#Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(FirebaseError firebaseError) {
}
});
I want to retrive the id that generated by firebase when I pushed value to it like next
I want to retrieve "-KGdKiPSODz7JXzlgl9J" this id for that email
I tried by getKey() but it return "users"
and when user get value it return the whole object from the id to profile picture and that won't make me get it as User object in my app
how solve this ?
Firebase users = myFirebaseRef.child("users");
users.orderByChild("email").equalTo("z#m.com").addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
dataSnapshot.getKey();
Log.d("User",dataSnapshot.getRef().toString());
Log.d("User",dataSnapshot.getValue().toString());
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(FirebaseError firebaseError) {
Log.d("User",firebaseError.getMessage() );
}
});
You can read the key from push() without pushing the values. Later you can create a child with that key and push the values for that key.
// read the index key
String mGroupId = mGroupRef.push().getKey();
....
....
// create a child with index value
mGroupRef.child(mGroupId).setValue(new ChatGroup());
mGroupId contains the key which is used to index the value you're about to save.
UPDATE 1:
it can obtain also by one line
String key = mDatabase.child("posts").push().getKey();
//**************************************************************//
after searching and trying a lot of things i came to 2 ways to do that
.
1. first one to get the key when i upload the post to the server via this function
public void uploadPostToFirebase(Post post) {
DatabaseReference mFirebase = mFirebaseObject
.getReference(Constants.ACTIVE_POSTS_KEY)
.child(post.type);
mFirebase.push().setValue(post);
Log.d("Post Key" , mFirebase.getKey());
}
i used it in my code to get the key after i have already pushed it to node for it in my database
public void getUserKey(String email) {
Query queryRef = databaseRef.child(Constants.USERS_KEY)
.orderByChild(Constants.USERS_EMAIL)
.equalTo(email);
queryRef.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {
#Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
//TODO auto generated
}
#Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
//TODO auto generated;
}
#Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
//TODO auto generated;
}
#Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
//TODO auto generated
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
//TODO auto generated
}
});
}
When you fire a Firebase query there can potentially be multiple results. So when you ask for the value of a query, Firebase returns a list of items. Even if there is only one matching item, it will be a list of one item.
So you will have to handle this list in your code:
users.orderByChild("email").equalTo("z#m.com").addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot child: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
Log.d("User key", child.getKey());
Log.d("User ref", child.getRef().toString());
Log.d("User val", child.getValue().toString());
}
}
In Java - Android Studio, you can get the unique pushed ID as the item is written to the db...
Per "Firebase's: Save Data on Android": You can use the reference to the new data returned by the push() method to get the value of the child's auto-generated key or set data for the child. Calling getKey() on a push() reference returns the value of the auto-generated key.
To get the reference at write time, instead of loading DATA with a single push()...
use push() to create a blank record in the database, return value is the record's reference.
use .getKey() to get the Key for that record.
use .setValue(DATA) to fill in the blank record
here's an example:
FirebaseDatabase fb_db_instance = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference db_ref_Main = fb_db_instance.getReference("string_db_Branch_Name");
hashMap_record = new HashMap<String, String>(); //some random data
hashMap_record.put("key_Item1", "string_Item1");
hashMap_record.put("key_Item2", "string_Item2");
DatabaseReference blankRecordReference = db_ref_Main ;
DatabaseReference db_ref = blankRecordReference.push(); //creates blank record in db
String str_NEW_Records_Key = db_ref.getKey(); //the UniqueID/key you seek
db_ref.setValue( hashMap_record); //sets the record
I solved it to get id you need to use firebase url
String uid = firebaseRef.child("users").push().getKey();
Log.i("uid", uid);
this will give you the key KG.....
For those using TVAC Tutorials(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSMMWOHkP68&list=PLGCjwl1RrtcTXrWuRTa59RyRmQ4OedWrt&index=16)
You can get Key using onClick method as follows:
viewHolder.mView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String key = getRef(position).getKey();
}
});
Just add new field to Users like userID, when you create new User add uid and than you can receive it by reading query
I'm doing it like this.
String userID;// in Users
Firebase users = myFirebaseRef.child("users");
users.orderByChild("email").equalTo("z#m.com").addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
Users user= dataSnapshot.getChildren().iterator().next().getValue(Users.class);
Log.d("User",user.getUserID());
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(FirebaseError firebaseError) {
Log.d("User",firebaseError.getMessage() );
}
});
I had faced this problem and I found the solution,
you can get it using this code:
dataSnapshot.getChildren().iterator().next().getKey()
// Unity, code in C#
{
reference = FirebaseDatabase.DefaultInstance.RootReference;
string s = reference.Push().Key;
reference.Child(s).Child(Username).SetValueAsync(Username);
Debug.Log(s);
}
Another Option to get the unique Post-id from firebase is by getting key (dataSnapshot.getKey()) in #Override method public void onChildAdded and maintaining it locally for example
private void attachDatabaseReadListener() {
if (mTaskEventListener == null) {
mTaskEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {
#Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
Task friendlyMessage = dataSnapshot.getValue(Task.class);
friendlyMessage.setId(dataSnapshot.getKey());
System.out.println("friendlyMessage = " + friendlyMessage);
DummyContent.ITEMS.add(new DummyContent.DummyItem("" + DummyContent.ITEMS.size()+1,friendlyMessage.getStatus(),friendlyMessage.getSummary()));
}
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {}
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {}
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {}
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {}
};
mUserDatabaseReference.addChildEventListener(mTaskEventListener); // remove it
}
}
dataSnapshot.getKey will set the unique post id in Task Instance and can be used later to perform any update operation.
FirebaseDatabase firebaseDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference databaseReference1 = firebaseDatabase.getReference("users");
databaseReference1.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot1 : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String key = dataSnapshot1.getKey();
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate: key :" + key);
String email = dataSnapshot1.child("email").getValue(String.class);
String roomno =dataSnapshot1.child("address").getValue(String.class);
Log.d(TAG, "onDataChange: email: " + email);
Log.d(TAG, "onDataChange: address: " + address)
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
Use this
mFirebaseDatabase=mFirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("tablename");
Query query = mFirebaseDatabase.orderByChild("tablenme").getRef();
query.orderByChild("Id").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(#NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot dataSnapshot1 : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String id =dataSnapshot1.child("Id").getKey();
String Name = dataSnapshot1.child("Name").getValue().toString();
String lastName= dataSnapshot1.child("lastname").getValue().toString();
flatDataGets.add(Name+"-"+lastname);
}
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(RagisterActivity.this, R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, DataGets);
arrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
mRegisterSpinner.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
mRegisterSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
flatName =DataGets.get(position);
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
}
});
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(#NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
Yes, you can retrieve the node or main child name by adding its name in that particular child as a key and value {main_child_name}.
Simply do similar:
HashMap<String, Object> hashLcl = new HashMap<>();
hashLcl.put("admin", firebaseUser.getUid());
hashLcl.put("name", textPrm);
DatabaseReference referenceLcl = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
String keyLcl = referenceLcl.child("GroupChats").push().getKey();
hashLcl.put("key", keyLcl);
Task task = referenceLcl.child("GroupChats").child(keyLcl).setValue(hashLcl);
task.addOnSuccessListener(aVoid -> {
//the data is added and now we are sure to do something related
});
This is the result:
String id = Objects.requireNonNull(task.getResult().getUser()).getUid();
