      //  DatabaseReference receiver = users.child(firebaseUser.getUid());
        final DatabaseReference receiver = 
    users.child("GTjrWgpKjoeXUt4JdBJTYP1JkVT2");

        receiver.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
            for (DataSnapshot postSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {

                Log.d(TAG, "key count=" + postSnapshot.getKey());

                for (DataSnapshot sender: postSnapshot.getChildren()) {

        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
            Log.e("SHAN " ,databaseError.getMessage());
        }
    });

Answer 1

If you know the complete path of the parent node (received/GTjrWgpKjoeXUt4JdBJTYP1JkVT2/fnBOM...), you can get only the last child node under that location with limitToLast(1):

DatabaseReference ref = users.child("GTjrWgpKjoeXUt4JdBJTYP1JkVT2/fnBOM...`");
ref.orderByKey().limitToLast(1).addChildEventListener(...

If you don't know the complete path to the parent node, there is no way to retrieve a subset of the child nodes.

Answer 2

You can use a query with the 'limitToLast' method that returns a specified number of items beginning from the last.

Query query=datasnapshot.child("childname").orderByKey().limitToLast(1);
