can't set textView value

After hours of searching for a solution without a result. I had to ask this question. The problem is I couldn't set the text view value inside the addListenerForSingleValueEvent() method. I successfully get the value that I want to display from the database but the value of the text view does not change. I need to understand why and how can I solve the problem. This is my fragment class.

public class ProfilFragment extends Fragment {


private FirebaseAuth auth;
private FirebaseDatabase database;
private DatabaseReference usersRef;
private TextView firstName, email;

View myView;

public ProfilFragment(){
}

@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
    database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
    usersRef = database.getReference("Users");

    myView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_profil,container,false);

    ((AppCompatActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Profile");

    ViewGroup root = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_profil, null);

    firstName   = root.findViewById(R.id.profileFirstNameTextView);
    email       = root.findViewById(R.id.profileEmailTextView);

    FirebaseUser firebaseUser = auth.getCurrentUser();
    email.setText("bla bla bla");

    if(firebaseUser != null){
        final String userId = firebaseUser.getUid();
        usersRef.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                if(dataSnapshot.hasChild(userId)){
                    User user = dataSnapshot.child(userId).getValue(User.class);
                    Log.d(TAG, "user: " + user.getFirstName());
                    showTextViews(user);

                } else{
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Couldn't find the user!!",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {

            }
        });

    } else {
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Problem in getting data from Database",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    return myView;

}

private void showTextViews(User user) {
    Log.d(TAG, "showTextViews: we entered this function");
    firstName.setText(user.getFirstName());
    email.setText(user.getEmail());
}

the two logs are rendered so the logic should be right. Even when I set the text view to "bla bla bla" outside the method it didn't work.

Why you inflate same view twice? Try to use myView instead of root to find out child views like below:

@Override
public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    ....

    myView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_profil,container,false);
    ((AppCompatActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Profile");

    //ViewGroup root = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_profil, null);

    firstName   = myView.findViewById(R.id.profileFirstNameTextView);
    email       = myView.findViewById(R.id.profileEmailTextView);

    ....

    return myView;

}
