First Initialize FirebaseDatabase:
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
Write to your database:
// Write a message to the database
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference myRef = database.getReference("message");
myRef.setValue("Hello, World!");
Read from your database:
// Read from the database
myRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
// This method is called once with the initial value and again
// whenever data at this location is updated.
String value = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
Log.d(TAG, "Value is: " + value);
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError error) {
// Failed to read value
Log.w(TAG, "Failed to read value.", error.toException());
}
});
Retrieve Data on Android events:
ChildEventListener childEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String previousChildName) {
Log.d(TAG, "onChildAdded:" + dataSnapshot.getKey());
}
@Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String previousChildName) {
Log.d(TAG, "onChildChanged:" + dataSnapshot.getKey());
}
@Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
Log.d(TAG, "onChildRemoved:" + dataSnapshot.getKey());
}
@Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String previousChildName) {
Log.d(TAG, "onChildMoved:" + dataSnapshot.getKey());
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
Log.w(TAG, "postComments:onCancelled", databaseError.toException());
Toast.makeText(mContext, "Failed to load comments.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
ref.addChildEventListener(childEventListener);
