How to populate RecyclerView with data from Firebase Database using FirebaseUI?










0















I am struggling to populate my recycler view and I can't identify why. I trying to populate the view with data from Firebase Database, I can successfully get the data, but I can't figure out how to properly set up the recycler view, I am also using FirebaseUI. Here is my Activity containing the firebaseUI and database call:



public class LoggedInActivity extends AppCompatActivity 

private DatabaseReference mDatabase;

RecyclerView contentView;

private TextView mTextMessage;
ImageButton positive;
ImageButton balanced;
ImageButton negative;

private BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener mOnNavigationItemSelectedListener
= new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener()

@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item)
switch (item.getItemId())
case R.id.navigation_home:
mTextMessage.setText(R.string.title_home);

return true;
case R.id.navigation_dashboard:
mTextMessage.setText(R.string.title_dashboard);

return true;
case R.id.navigation_notifications:
mTextMessage.setText(R.string.title_notifications);

return true;

return false;

;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_logged_in);

positive = findViewById(R.id.heartButton);
balanced = findViewById(R.id.balancedButton);
negative = findViewById(R.id.negativeButton);

mTextMessage = findViewById(R.id.message);
mTextMessage.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
BottomNavigationView navigation = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation);
navigation.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(mOnNavigationItemSelectedListener);

mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();

DatabaseReference mRef = mDatabase.child("posts");
Query query = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance()
.getReference()
.child("posts")
.limitToLast(50);

query.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener()
@Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey)
Post newPost = dataSnapshot.getValue(Post.class);
System.out.println("Title: " + newPost.title);
System.out.println("Body: " + newPost.body);
System.out.println("Previous Post ID: " + prevChildKey);


@Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey)

@Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot)

@Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String prevChildKey)

@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError)
);


FirebaseRecyclerOptions<Post> options =
new FirebaseRecyclerOptions.Builder<Post>()
.setQuery(query, Post.class)
.build();

FirebaseRecyclerAdapter adapter = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<Post, PostHolder>(options)
@Override
public PostHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType)
// Create a new instance of the ViewHolder, in this case we are using a custom
// layout called R.layout.message for each item
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.post_content, parent, false);

return new PostHolder(view);


@Override
protected void onBindViewHolder(PostHolder holder, int position, Post model)
// Bind the Chat object to the ChatHolder
// ...
holder.bind



;

contentView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
contentView.setAdapter(adapter);






I also created my class for retrieving Posts from the database:



@IgnoreExtraProperties
public class Post

public String title;
public String body;
public String username;

public Post()
// Default constructor required for calls to DataSnapshot.getValue(User.class)


public Post(String title, String body, String username)
title = title;
body = body;
username = username;


public String getTitle() return title;

public String getBody() return body;

public String getUsername() return username;




I am just trying to get the post Title at the moment, I have made this custom holder:



public class PostHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder 

TextView title;
TextView body;
TextView username;

public PostHolder(@NonNull View itemView)
super(itemView);
title = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.title)





Here is where I think I run into the problem, I am not sure how I bind the Post data to get it to show up on this Label that I created as post_content.xml:



 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10dp">

<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20sp"/>

</LinearLayout>


I would appreciate an explanation on this system as I am finding it a bit confusing in regards to the custom holder, binding and inflating portions.
Where am I going wrong? Thank you.

  • @HarKal I have been following that but I have gotten stuck trying to find what I'm getting wrong now, mainly with the actual binding of the post class data to the recycler
