How to Display The Current Logged In User Firebase

    mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
    mFirebaseDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
    myRef = mFirebaseDatabase.getReference().child("Users");
    FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
    userID = user.getUid();

    mAuthListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth) {
            FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
            if (user != null) {
                // User is signed in
                Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_in:" + user.getUid());
            } else {
                // User is signed out
                Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_out");
                toastMessage("Successfully signed out.");
            }
            // ...
        }
    };

    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.
            showData(dataSnapshot);
        }

        @Override
        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

        }
    });

}

/*private void showData(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
    for(DataSnapshot ds : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
        UserInformation uInfo = new UserInformation();
        uInfo.setName(ds.child(userID).getValue(UserInformation.class).getName()); //set the name
        uInfo.setHandicap(ds.child(userID).getValue(UserInformation.class).getHandicap()); //set the name

    }
    ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,array);
    mListView.setAdapter(adapter);
}

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    mAuth.addAuthStateListener(mAuthListener);
}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    if (mAuthListener != null) {
        mAuth.removeAuthStateListener(mAuthListener);
    }
}
}
}

Currently the way each user is differentiated is by the UID which is allocated to them when they log in. When they log in they use username and password which is stored in the authentication part of Firebase. When the user has been verified they are directed to their Account Page. On the Account page I then ask the user to input their personal details which is saved in the real time database under Table Users. How do I display the current logged user information ? Currently it shows details of the user table but I only want it to show the details of the user who is logged in. The output is shown in a ListView

First get uid of the current user that is logged in:

FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
String userid = user.getUid();

then retrieve the data of the current user:

DatabaseReference ref = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Users");
ref.child(userid).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { 
String name = dataSnapshot.child("name").getValue().toString(); 
name1.setText(name);
}

Assuming you have this:

Users
  userid
     name: peter
     //etc
