How to retrieve user email from Firebase Authentication to Realtime Database

Question

I'm currently using Firebase email authentication as the sign in method. However, when I register new user, the email of the new user will only save to the Authentication panel rather than my Realtime Database. And now I would like to add on more information for the particular user. What should I do now?

Is there a way whenever new user is registered, the email of the new user will save to the Authentication panel and Realtime Database?

I have no idea how to retrieve the user email from Authentication. I know there might be a way to get the user email which is by using "user UID"? But may I know how to do it?

You need to explicitly add the email of the user while signup using the following line of code.Call the code inside mAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword().Set the email from the edit text.

public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
                if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                    FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("my_users_email")
                                    .child(task.getResult().getUser().getUid())
                                    .child("Email").setValue(Email.getText().toString());}

What if I would like to add the data of username? May I know how to do it? – JiaXian Chan Jan 21 '19 at 06:34
use Username.getText().toString() inside setValue() .Where Username represent the edit text in which user name is entered. – Aashish Sharma Jan 21 '19 at 13:30
