Android Viewing Firebase Data in listview Errors
I have a new issue where I need to retrieve data from the firebase database using a ArrayAdapter. I keep getting errors within my code which are shown at the end. The real question here is how I can get it to populate my listview with no errors?
Here is my activity_main.java:
package com.example.sean.firebasemessengerapp;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot;
import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseError;
import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseReference;
import com.google.firebase.database.FirebaseDatabase;
import com.google.firebase.database.Query;
import com.google.firebase.database.ValueEventListener;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
// [START declare_database_ref]
private DatabaseReference mDatabase;
//ADD ARRAY FOR MESSAGES TO CAPTURE
protected ArrayList<String> MessagesToPost = new ArrayList<>();
//final ListView listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.my_list_view);
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
mDatabase = mDatabase.child("Messages").child("Message");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final ListView listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.my_list_view);
final Query myTopMessagesPostQuery = mDatabase.child("Messages").child("Message");
myTopMessagesPostQuery.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot postSnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String MessagesPost = (String) postSnapshot.getValue(); //Updated line
MessagesToPost.add(MessagesPost);
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(
MainActivity.this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,
MessagesToPost);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
System.out.println("Array size is: " + MessagesToPost);
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
/*final Query myTopMessagesPostQuery = mDatabase.child("Messages").child("Message");
myTopMessagesPostQuery.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot postSnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String MessagesPost = (String) postSnapshot.child("Messages").child("Message").getValue();
MessagesToPost.add(MessagesPost);
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(
MainActivity.this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,
MessagesToPost);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
System.out.println("Array size is: " + MessagesToPost.size());
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});*/
}
}

This because you are initialising list even before the layout is created. Add this line
listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.my_list_view);
after
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Update For the fetching problem , You are fetching the data in wrong way. It should be like this :
final Query myTopMessagesPostQuery = mDatabase.child("Messages").child("Message");
myTopMessagesPostQuery.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for (DataSnapshot postSnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String MessagesPost = (String) postSnapshot.getValue(); //Updated line
MessagesToPost.add(MessagesPost);
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(
MainActivity.this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,
MessagesToPost);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
