I am trying to populate a recycler view using nested queries. The first query goes to groups_list node and takes data in the node and the unique key. Then it goes to groups node with the key and gets data under that key. The result of both the queries needs to be updated in recycler view.
In short, the first query gets some data and a key, the key is used to make the second query. The result from both these queries need to be updated in the recycler view. I am using a model class and recycler view adapter for this.
But I am getting an error below.
My Fragment is as follows:
// Firebase
fbDatabaseRootNode = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
fbDatabaseRefGroupList = fbDatabaseRootNode.child("groups_list").child(current_user_id);
fbDatabaseRefGroups = fbDatabaseRootNode.child("groups");
fbDatabaseRefGroupList.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
// Array to Get Group List
lGroupsList = new ArrayList<>();
if (dataSnapshot.exists()) {
// Clear Array to Get Group List
lGroupsList.clear();
for (DataSnapshot glSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
// Use The Model To Format Array List and Pass It Into It
GroupsListModel g = glSnapshot.getValue(GroupsListModel.class);
// Array to Get Group List
lGroupsList.add(g);
String groupID = String.valueOf(glSnapshot.getKey());
fbDatabaseRefGroups.child(groupID).addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
if (dataSnapshot.exists()) {
for (DataSnapshot gSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
// Use The Model To Format Array List and Pass It Into It
GroupsListModel g = gSnapshot.getValue(GroupsListModel.class);
// Array to Get Group List
lGroupsList.add(g);
}
}
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}
aGroupList = new GroupsListAdapter(getContext(), lGroupsList);
rvGroupList.setAdapter(aGroupList);
}
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
System.out.println("The read failed: " + databaseError.getCode());
}
});
And My Firebase Database Structure Looks Like
"groups" : {
"-LaPfENd0G4pHlejrcd6" : {
"group_creation_date" : 1553078221782,
"group_logo" : "0",
"group_member_count" : "0",

The Model Class Is

}

}
public String getPin_sequence() {

}
public String getReport_status() {
return report_status;
}
public void setReport_status(String report_status) {
this.report_status = report_status;
}
public String getGroup_name() {
return group_name;
}
public void setGroup_name(String group_name) {
this.group_name = group_name;
}
public Long getGroup_creation_date() {
return group_creation_date;
}
public void setGroup_creation_date(Long group_creation_date) {
this.group_creation_date = group_creation_date;
}
public String getGroup_logo() {
return group_logo;
}
public void setGroup_logo(String group_logo) {
this.group_logo = group_logo;
}
public String getGroup_member_count() {
return group_member_count;
}
public void setGroup_member_count(String group_member_count) {
this.group_member_count = group_member_count;
}
public String getGroup_tagline() {
return group_tagline;
}
public void setGroup_tagline(String group_tagline) {
this.group_tagline = group_tagline;
}
}
And The Error is
Can't convert object of type java.lang.Long to type com.example.myproject
The logs from datasnapshots are coming as follows... first one...
The log from second one...
Possible Solution 1 (Passing To Recycler View An Issue Otherwise Working)
This seems to be getting the data in proper sequence now just have to pass it into the Model Array List and Set The Adapter
// Get The Data
fbDatabaseRefGroupList.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
if (dataSnapshot.exists()) {
final String groupID = dataSnapshot.getKey();
final String blockStatus = (String) dataSnapshot.child("block_status").getValue();
final String hideStatus = (String) dataSnapshot.child("hide_status").getValue();
final String notificationStatus = (String) dataSnapshot.child("notification_status").getValue();
final String pinSequence = (String) dataSnapshot.child("pin_sequence").getValue();
final String reportStatus = (String) dataSnapshot.child("report_status").getValue();
fbDatabaseRefGroups.child(groupID).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
String groupName = (String) dataSnapshot.child("group_name").getValue();
String groupTagLine = (String) dataSnapshot.child("group_name").getValue();
String groupMemberCount = (String) dataSnapshot.child("group_name").getValue();
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}
}
@Override
public void onChildChanged(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
}
@Override
public void onChildRemoved(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

@Override

A nested RecyclerView is an implementation of a RecyclerView within a RecyclerView. An example of such a layout can be seen in a variety of apps such as the Play store where the outer (parent) RecyclerView is of Vertical orientation whereas the inner (child) RecyclerViews are of horizontal orientations.
Step 1: Open Android Studio and create a new project named “RecyclerView” with an empty activity. Step 2: Connect your Firebase project with your app. Step 3: Add the following dependency in your app/build. gradle file in order to get the FirebaseUI and Firebase Realtime Database support in the app.
You have to add the required data to the list which is being used by your adapter to render the views. Once that is done you must call notifyDataSetChanged, so that adapter can reload its data from the updated list.
fbDatabaseRefGroups.child(groupID).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
String groupName = (String) dataSnapshot.child("group_name").getValue();
String groupTagLine = (String) dataSnapshot.child("group_name").getValue();
String groupMemberCount = (String) dataSnapshot.child("group_name").getValue();
lGroupsList.add(new GroupsListModel(groupName, groupMemberCount, groupTagLine));
aGroupList.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
