Copying Firebase node with multiple children to another node

Question

Hey I would like to copy the data inside the child node with multiple sub-nodes to another place.

In the above image I would like to transfer the data inside the question node into the uid node of users.

In the questions node values I have two field namely correct answer and image url.

I have tried the following

public void copyFirebaseData() {
    DatabaseReference questionNodes = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("questions");
    final DatabaseReference toUsersQuestions = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("users").child(uid).child("questions");

    questionNodes.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
            toUsersQuestions.setValue(dataSnapshot.getValue(), new Firebase.CompletionListener() { //getting error in this line
                @Override
                public void onComplete(FirebaseError firebaseError, Firebase firebase) {

                    if (firebaseError != null)
                        System.out.println("Copy failed");
                    else
                        System.out.println("Success");

                }
            });
        }

        @Override
        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

        }
    });
}`

But this is throwing an exception

How can I save the entire data under questions node and copy it to the uid node. any help would be great

Answer 1

Though not a very good approach but this approach get the work done.

public void copyFirebaseData() {
    DatabaseReference questionNodes = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("questions");
    final DatabaseReference toUsersQuestions = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("users").child(uid).child("questions");

    questionNodes.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

            for (DataSnapshot questionCode : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
                String questionCodeKey = questionCode.getKey();
                String correctAnswerString = questionCode.child("correctAnswer").getValue(String.class);
                String imageUrlString = questionCode.child("imageUrl").getValue(String.class);
                toUsersQuestions.child(questionCodeKey).child("imageUrl").setValue(imageUrlString);
                toUsersQuestions.child(questionCodeKey).child("correctAnswer").setValue(correctAnswerString);

            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

        }
    });
}
