Get random data android firebase database in RecyclerView

Question

Firebase database

In child("AdUsersINFO") I have a childs for users (userid) in this childs we have a posts .

My goal was to get a random post and display the data in RecyclerView

Currently, I have this code on onCreateView, but it's not getting any data:

recycle = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recycle);
        mAdUserDatabse = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("AdUsersINFO");
        mAdUserDatabse.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                int ads = (int) dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
                int rand = new Random().nextInt(ads);
                Iterator itr = dataSnapshot.getChildren().iterator();

                for (int i = 0; i < rand; i++) {
                    list = new ArrayList<Adver>();
                    Adver value = dataSnapshot.getValue(Adver.class);
                    Adver fire = new Adver();
                    String type = value.getType();
                    String categories = value.getCategories();
                    String city = value.getCity();
                    fire.setType(type);
                    fire.setCategories(categories);
                    fire.setCity(city);
                    list.add(fire);

                    itr.next();
                }
                RecyclerAdapter recyclerAdapter = new RecyclerAdapter(list, getContext());
                final RecyclerView.LayoutManager recyce = new GridLayoutManager(getContext(), 2);
                recycle.setLayoutManager(recyce);
                recycle.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
                recycle.setAdapter(recyclerAdapter);
            }

            @Override
            public void onCancelled(DatabaseError error) {
                // Failed to read value
                Log.w("Failed to read value.", error.toException());
            }
        });

And this is my Adapter class

CardAdapter class

public class CardAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<CardAdapter.MyHoder> {

    List<Adver> list;
    Context context;

    public CardAdapter(List<Adver> list, Context context) {
        this.list = list;
        this.context = context;
    }

    @Override
    public MyHoder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

        View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.card, parent, false);
        return new MyHoder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(MyHoder holder, int position) {
        Adver mylist = list.get(position);
        holder.type.setText(mylist.getType());
        holder.categories.setText(mylist.getCategories());
        holder.city.setText(mylist.getCity());
        holder.availability.setText(mylist.getAvailability());
        holder.cost.setText(mylist.getCost());

    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        int arr = 0;
        try {
            if (list.size() == 0) {
                arr = 0;
            } else {
                arr = list.size();
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {

        }
        return arr;
    }

    class MyHoder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        TextView type, categories, city, availability, cost;
        ImageView img;

        public MyHoder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            type = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.vType);
            categories = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.vCategories);
            city = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.vCity);
            availability = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.vAvailability);
            cost = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.vPrice);

        }
    }
}

there is only one post under the first user, is that what you want? — Peter Haddad, Nov 07 '17 at 23:42
With this `list = new ArrayList();` inside your `for` loop you are creating a new list with each iteration! Basically adding only one entry in you list. Is that what you want? — Barns, Nov 07 '17 at 23:49
@Barns52 i want to get a different post data in every iteration — Mu'ath Abu Khurma, Nov 07 '17 at 23:57

@PeterHaddad I want to get random posts from any uid not the uid that the user logged-in — Mu'ath Abu Khurma, Nov 08 '17 at 15:36
@PeterHaddad I have updated my code ,please have a look to the adapter class — Mu'ath Abu Khurma, Nov 09 '17 at 14:51
@Mu'athAbuKhurma is categories in the model class the same as in the database `categories`? — Peter Haddad, Nov 09 '17 at 16:34

Your DatabaseReference is wrong. You need to change this line of code:

mAdUserDatabse = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("AdUsersINFO");

with

mAdUserDatabse = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("AdUsersINFO").child(uid);

In which the uid is the user id of the logged-in user. To get the that uid, please use this line of code:

String uid = FirebaseUser.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid();

Whith your code, when you are iterating using getChildren() method, you iterating through users not posts as I understand you intend to do.

I want to get random posts from any uid not the uid that the user logged-in – Mu'ath Abu Khurma Nov 08 '17 at 13:10
In this case, you need to iterate twice. Once for getting the users and second for getting the random post. – Alex Mamo Nov 08 '17 at 13:16

mAdUserDatabse = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("AdUsersINFO");
mAdUserDatabse.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
        int ads = (int) dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
        int rand = new Random().nextInt(ads);
        for(DataSnapshot data: dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
        for(DataSnapshot datas: data.getChildren()){
        for(int i = 0; i < rand; i++) {

        list = new ArrayList<Adver>();

            Adver value = datas.getValue(Adver.class);
            Adver fire = new Adver();
            String type = value.getType();
            String categories = value.getCategories();
            String city = value.getCity();
            fire.setType(type);
            fire.setCategories(categories);
            fire.setCity(city);
            list.add(fire);

}}}}

its give me the last post for the last user – Mu'ath Abu Khurma Nov 08 '17 at 17:21
the content of the post? – Peter Haddad Nov 08 '17 at 17:22
yes because you are not getting everything in your code – Peter Haddad Nov 08 '17 at 17:24
its getting me the city and type but not getting the categories – Mu'ath Abu Khurma Nov 08 '17 at 17:27
is it always giving u the post of the last user only? – Peter Haddad Nov 08 '17 at 17:33
ya the last post from the last user only – Mu'ath Abu Khurma Nov 08 '17 at 17:45
@Mu'athAbuKhurma try it without the `rand` and `ads` and the loop `for(int i = 0; i < rand; i++) {` – Peter Haddad Nov 08 '17 at 17:47
it's give me the same result – Mu'ath Abu Khurma Nov 08 '17 at 21:59
@Mu'athAbuKhurma the code I gave should iterate through all posts, but there is something wrong with the adapter/list try to add breakpoints and debug with logs see what you get – Peter Haddad Nov 09 '17 at 06:45
I have update my code , please have a look at adapter class – Mu'ath Abu Khurma Nov 09 '17 at 14:57
