How to use Pushid with Uid Firebase android

I am trying to add data to Firebase in this structure from android application:

UserID: { 
  uniqueId: {
     Data1: ""
     Data1: ""
   }
  uniqueId: {
     Data2: ""
     Data2: ""
   }
}

But I am struggling to get the UserID working with the uniqueID, can someone please help;

DatabaseReference mypostref = databaseReference.push();
        databaseReference.child(user.getUid()).setValue(Personname: "Data", personaddress: "Data");

I have managed to (I think) get hold of the unique id through creating this: mypostref but how do I join the two together? Own its on the below code works fine but its only with the Uid. I want to break it further down so it has unique ID for each data set.

 databaseReference.child(user.getUid()).setValue(Friend1Name: "Data", Friend1Address: "Data");

Please let me know if my question is not clear. Thanks.

Try this:

DatabaseReference parentUserNode = databaseReference.child(user.getUid);
//Edit: Added way of saving the key generated by push
String keyFromPush = parentUserNode.push().getKey();
parentUserNode.child(keyFromPush).setValue(/*Add whatever value you want in here*/).

This will create a node like this:

uid: { 
  uniqueid01: {
    ...
  }
  uniqueid02: {
   ...
  }
}

Hope this helps.
