swift how to make a search from firebase database

I have a firebase database in my app, here is a screenshot of it: enter image description here And I need to filter my results using this controller

controller

so I need to compare from

`ref.observe(.value, with: {snapshot in
            if (snapshot.value is NSNull){
                print("not found")
            }else{
                for child in (snapshot.children) {
                    let snap = child as! DataSnapshot
                    let dict = snap.value as! AnyObject
                    let latt = dict["lat"]
                    let lngt = dict["lng"]
                    let sext = dict["sex"]
                    let statust = dict["status"]
                    let aget = dict["age"]


                    if self.searchSex.selectedSegmentIndex == 0{
                        self.sexG = "Male"}
                    else if self.searchSex.selectedSegmentIndex == 1{
                        self.sexG = "Female"
                    }


                    if (self.sexG == sext as! String && Int(searchAgeFrom.value) <= Int(aget) <= Int(searchAgeTo.value)))
                    {


                    }


                }


            }

        })
`

I don't know how to filter results from dataSnapshot, I always get an errors. Here, I perform my searching, in ????? I don't know how search for selected value from pickerView:

 if (self.sexG == sext as! String && Int(searchAgeFrom.value) <= Int(aget) <= Int(searchAgeTo.value)) && ?????)
                {


                }

First of all your if condition is not correct as of with searchAgeTo.value you are not comparing with any value also instead of casting snap.value to AnyObject cast it to proper dictionary in your case it is [String:Any].

Now to get the pickerView selected value you can use instance method selectedRow(inComponent:) or also use UIPickerViewDelegate method didSelectRow.

let selectedIndex = yourPickerView.selectedRow(inComponent: 0)
let selectedValue = yourPikcerArray[selectedIndex]

Now compare this in if condition this way.

for child in (snapshot.children) {
    let snap = child as! DataSnapshot
    let dict = snap.value as! [String:Any]
    let latt = dict["lat"]
    let lngt = dict["lng"]
    let sext = dict["sex"] as! String
    let statust = dict["status"] as! String
    let aget = dict["age"]
    if self.searchSex.selectedSegmentIndex == 0 {
        self.sexG = "Male"
    }
    else {
        self.sexG = "Female"
    }
    let selectedIndex = yourPickerView.selectedRow(inComponent: 0)
    let selectedValue = yourPikcerArray[selectedIndex]
    if (self.sexG == sext && Int(searchAgeFrom.value) >= Int(aget) && Int(aget) <= Int(searchAgeTo.value) && selectedValue == statust) {
         //Handle here
    }
}

But instead of filtering Firebase data this way better way is you can store all the data in some main array and than filter that main array according to your filter so that you will not need to observe Firebase data every time when you change your filter value. Also make one custom class or struct to manage all your Firebase data with array of that custom object.

I believe you have erors in unwrapping of snapshot.

Try this: 

let dict = snap.value as! [String: AnyObject]
let latt = dict["lat"] as! Double
let lngt = dict["lng"] as! Double
// etc..

Hope it helps
