JAVA Android studio Doesn't send data to Firebase Realtime Database

Question

I want to send data to my Realtime Database when i create new account. Creating new account i will see that in Authentication it has added new account but in my Realtime Database it hasn't added anything.

When debugging i see that in console Log.d(TAG, "onDataChange: Continue..."); doesn't show up and anything past that.

I'm following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPYqEpbihCs&list=PLgCYzUzKIBE9XqkckEJJA0I1wVKbUAOdv&index=28

Database structure: enter image description here

RegisterActivity.java Code that sends data to Firebase database

private void setupFirebaseAuth(){
    Log.d(TAG, "setupFirebaseAuth: setting up firebase auth.");

    mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
    mFirebaseDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
    myRef = mFirebaseDatabase.getReference();

    mAuthListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth) {
            FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();

            if (user != null) {
                // User is signed in
                Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_in:" + user.getUid());
                myRef.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "onDataChange: Continue...");
                        //1st check: Make sure the username is not already in use
                        if(firebaseMethods.checkIfUsernameExists(username, 
                        dataSnapshot)){
                            append = myRef.push().getKey().substring(3,10);
                            Log.d(TAG, "onDataChange: username already exists.    
                            Appending random string to name: " + append);
                        }
                        username = username + append;

                        //add new user to the database
                        firebaseMethods.addNewUser(email, username, "", "", "");

                        Toast.makeText(mContext, "Signup successful. Sending 
                        verification email.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

                        Log.d(TAG, "onCancelled: Cancelled ");
                        Log.e(TAG, "Failed to read    
                        value.",databaseError.toException());
                    }
                });

            } else {
                // User is signed out
                Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_out");
            }
            // ...
        }
    };
}

I use another file where i store all my FirebaseMethod logic

        if(mAuth.getCurrentUser() != null){
            userID = mAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid();
        }
    }
    public boolean checkIfUsernameExists(String username, DataSnapshot dataSnapshot){
        Log.d(TAG, "checkIfUsernameExists: check if " + username + "already exists");

        myRef.child(mContext.getString(R.string.dbname_users))
                .child(userID)
                .setValue(user);

You're not attaching mAuthListener to Firebase anywhere, which means that Firebase never calls it.

You'll need to call addAuthStateListener to make Firebase aware of your listener, with something like:

FirebaseAuth.getInstance().addAuthStateListener(mAuthListener);
