Get Value from Firebase Database

I need to get the string value from the node passcode in my Firebase database to compare with a user input, but unfortunately I am not able to get the value. This is the link to my firebase database in the below image.
This is my codes below:
final DatabaseReference mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("pin_code");
mDatabase.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new com.google.firebase.database.ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
String rface = (String) dataSnapshot.child("pincode").getValue();
if (rface.equals(userPassword) && !rface.equals("")){
Intent intent = new Intent(PinActivity.this, ProfileActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
else {
if (rface.equals("") || rface.equals(null)){
// Creating new user node, which returns the unique key value
// new user node would be /users/$userid/
String userId = mDatabase.push().getKey();
// creating user object
Pin pin = new Pin(authUserId, userPassword);
mDatabase.child(userId).setValue(pin);
Intent intent = new Intent(PinActivity.this, ProfileActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
else {
Toast.makeText(PinActivity.this,"Invalid PIN code", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
This is the json code
{
"pin_code" : {
"id" : "TQYTo1NHNnhPJnOxhe1Vok3U6ic2",
"pincode" : "12345"
}
}

This FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("pin_code") does not refer to the node you're looking for. Most likely you know the id property, in which case you can get the node with:
DatabaseReference collection = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("p...");
Query query = collection.orderByChild("id").equalTo("TQT...ic2");
query.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new com.google.firebase.database.ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot child: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String rface = (String) child.child("pincode").getValue();
if (rface.equals(userPassword) && !rface.equals("")){
The changes I made:
On the first line we get the collection: the node under which you want to run a query. You struck out the name of that node in the screenshot, but it's the second line you marked.
In the second line we create a query on the id property of each child node under the collection.
In the onDataChange we added a loop. This is needed because a query against the Firebase Database will potentially have multiple results. So the dataSnapshot contains a list of those results. Even if there is only a single result, the snapshot will contain a list of one result. We loop over dataSnapshot.getChildren() to handle those multiple results.
If there can ever only be one node with the same id, you should consider changing your data structure to use the id as the key of the node. So:
pin_codes
uid1: "pincode1"
uid2: "pincode2"
Your code then becomes significantly simpler, because you don't need to query for the user anymore. You can just directly read from the path:
DatabaseReference user = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("pin_codes").child("TQT...ic2");
user.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new com.google.firebase.database.ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
String rface = (String) dataSnapshot.getValue();
if (rface.equals(userPassword) && !rface.equals("")){

Try change this:
String rface = (String) dataSnapshot.child("pincode").getValue();
To this:
String rface = (String) dataSnapshot.child("pincode").getValue(String.class);

Use the following::
Object some = dataSnapshot.getValue();
String value = some.toString();

How to get specific record from ArrayList stored in fireabase

I have stored ArrayList in firebase DB, is there any way to get specific record from firebase using particular id (memberId) from ArrayList
Currently, I'm able to get the tripMemberList ArrayList but I want to get specific record from ArrayList using memberId
I don't want to retrieve full ArrayList only need a single record from tripMemberList using memberId
I'm attaching a firebase DB structure below
Edit: How i add a record to firebase
TripChatDTO tripChatDTO = new TripChatDTO();
tripChatDTO.setTripId(jsonObject.getInt("travelId"));
tripChatDTO.setTripName(travelDTO.getTitle());
tripChatDTO.setTripPicUrl(jsonObject.getString("image"));
List<TripMemberDTO> memberDTOList = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < invitedFriendArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject1 = invitedFriendArray.getJSONObject(i);
TripMemberDTO dto = new TripMemberDTO();
dto.setMemberId(jsonObject1.getInt("id"));
dto.setAdmin(false);
dto.setNotification(true);
memberDTOList.add(dto);
}
// Add Admin record
TripMemberDTO tripMemberDTO = new TripMemberDTO();
tripMemberDTO.setMemberId(loggedInUser.getId());
tripMemberDTO.setAdmin(true);
tripMemberDTO.setNotification(true);
memberDTOList.add(tripMemberDTO);
// Add all Member record to travel
tripChatDTO.setTripMemberList(memberDTOList);
String channelName = "Trip-" + tripChatDTO.getTripId();
// Create tip
FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child(TRIP).child(channelName).setValue(tripChatDTO);

it might be anywhere in the list I want to find a record using `memberId
Then loop over the children of the top element
tripMemberRef rootRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference()
.child("Trips/Trip-190/tripMemberList");
ValueEventListener eventListener = new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot c : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String memberId = c.child("memberId").getValue(String.class);
Log.d("TAG", memberId);
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {}
};
ref.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(eventListener);

Assuming that Trips is a direct child of the Firebase root, please use this code:
DatabaseReference rootRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
DatabaseReference ref = rootRef.child("Trips").child("Trip-190").child("tripMemberList").child("0");
ValueEventListener eventListener = new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
String memberId = dataSnapshot.child("memberId").getValue(String.class);
Log.d("TAG", memberId);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {}
};
ref.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(eventListener);
But remember, Firebase is a NoSQL database which is structured as pairs of key and values. This means that every object within a Firebase database is a Map and not an ArrayList.

Reading from a simple FireBase Database

I'm having some issues reading from a Firebase Database.
I have a pretty simple layout
{
"lot" : {
"lot1" : "low",
"lot2" : "low",
"lot3" : "low"
}
}
Of course MyAppName { } is above this all.
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference myRef = database.getInstance().getReference();
// Read from the database
myRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
// This method is called once with the initial value and again
// whenever data at this location is updated.
lotMap = (HashMap) dataSnapshot.getValue();
Log.d("[Directions Activity]: ", "Lot1 value ====== " +lotMap.get("lot"));
Iterator it = lotMap.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry pair = (Map.Entry)it.next();
Log.d("[Directions Activity]: ", "iterator " + pair.getKey() + " = " + pair.getValue());
System.out.println();
it.remove(); // avoids a ConcurrentModificationException
}
}
Here's what returns from log
D/[Directions Activity]:: Lot1 value ====== null //null obviously
//because key lot1 doesn't exist
D/[Directions Activity]:: lot = {lot3=low, lot2=low, lot1=low}
So to me, it looks like it's returning the string {lot3=low, lot2=low, lot1=low}, but I'd like to be able to get an array, with each value if possible.
Is this achievable??

I had the same question and this is what i used. Modifying to fit the question here
private List<String> lotList;
lotList = new ArrayList<>();
DatabaseReference reference= database.getInstance().getReference().child("lot");
Now adding value event listener
reference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
Iterable<DataSnapshot> mData = dataSnapshot.getChildren();
for(DataSnapshot d : mData){
String lot_string = d.getValue(String.class);
lotList.add(lot_string);
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});

There's some tweak in your code. Your
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference myRef = database.getInstance().getReference();
should be write like this,
DatabaseReference myRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
DatabaseReference database = myRef.child("anyValueNameYouSpecifyInConsole");
Those 2 lines should be declare outside onCreate method. The one that you need to specify with addValueEventListener is the 2nd DatabaseReference, not the first one. So, it should looks like this from my example,
database.addValueEventListener (new ValueEventListener)
and it will import method.
If you wish the data to be displayed in a particular TextView, then just findViewById the TextView you wanna use and include it in onDataChange method like so,
String x = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
textViewNameDeclared.setText(x);
And don't forget to change the security rule for reading.

you can use typecast to JSONObject and parse the JSONObject
JSONObject jsonObject= new JSONObject((Map)dataSnapshot.getValue());
JSONObject jsonObj= (JSONObject) jsonObject.get("lot");
for (Object key : jsonObj.keySet()) {
//based on you key types
String keyStr = (String)key;
Object keyvalue = jsonObj.get(keyStr);
//Print key and value
System.out.println("key: "+ keyStr + " value: " + keyvalue);
}
if you using java 8 than you use lamada expression.

Accessing firebase children without uid

Is it possible to fetch a child from an object without the entire parent in Firebase
For example, a customer registry, where I need all the "name" fields, but I do not have the user "uid". ...

Alex's answer will work (with my comment for good measure).
But you should realize that this downloads all data of all users. There is no way in the Firebase Database to download just one property of each node. So if you want an efficient way to download just the list of names, you should keep precisely that in the database: a list of names.
usernames
uid1: "Fernando"
uid2: "Alex"
That way you can read just the list of names with:
DatabaseReference usernamesRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("usernames");
usernamesRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot childSnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String uid = childSnapshot.getKey();
String name = childSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
}

Yes it's possible. Please use this code:
DatabaseReference yourRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("usuarios");
usersRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
for (DataSnapshot ds : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String uId = (String) ds.getKey();
String nome = ds.getChild("nome").getValue(String.class);
list.add(nome);
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
throw databaseError.toException(); // don't ignore errors
}
});
You first iterate to get those uid's and after that use them in the DatabaseReference.
Hope it helps.

Firebase orderByChild in android; can't get it to work

I have data structure as:
https://law-apps-44h221543638e.firebaseio.com/apps to promote/0/ >> name:"First App", package:"fra"
https://law-apps-44h221543638e.firebaseio.com/apps to promote/1/ >> name:"Second App", package:"sca"
https://law-apps-44h221543638e.firebaseio.com/apps to promote/2/ >> name:"Third App", package:"tha"
and I query it using
Firebase myFirebaseReference = new Firebase("https://law-apps-44h221543638e.firebaseio.com/apps to promote");
Query queryRef = myFirebaseReference.orderByChild("name");
queryRef.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() { // override methods })
But it returns the data in the same order i.e sorted by the first child (1,2,3, etc.)
How should I query it so it sorts the data by the "name" tag of each child?

Ok so I found the answer to this question and I am writing it so others may benefit from it. I was using an older technique wherein I was finding from datasnapshot my apps using their parents' numbers and due to this, I was delibrately undoing the ordering.
Now I have used dataSnapshot.getChildren().iterator() and it is now working correctly. Here's the code:
Query queryRef = myFirebaseReference.orderByChild("name");
queryRef.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
String name;
String my_package;
long lengthOfForLoop = dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
Iterator<DataSnapshot> child = dataSnapshot.getChildren().iterator();
for (int i = 0; i < lengthOfForLoop; i++) {
DataSnapshot next = child.next();
name = next.child("name").getValue(String.class);
my_package = next.child("package").getValue(String.class);
// do something with this data.
}
}
});
}

thanks, Usman!
I used the same code with the children iterable collection in a for loop.
This code was worked for me (in Kotlin):
accountsReference.child(accountId).child("actions").orderByChild("actionPosition").addListenerForSingleValueEvent( object : ValueEventListener {
override fun onDataChange(var1: DataSnapshot) {
if (var1.children != null) {
for (actionsEntries in var1.children) {
...
}
}
