Basically, what I am trying to do is use a FirebaseRecyclerAdapter and populate the RecyclerView with my custom designed CardView. The code for newer versions has been changed and therefore, I tried implementing it but didn't work.
This is the code I use to write a year ago, which worked fine and populated my RecyclerView:
FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<DataClass,DataViewHolder> FBRA= new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<DataClass, DataViewHolder>(
DataClass,
R.layout.myCardView,
DataViewHolder.class,
databaseReference
) {
@Override
protected void populateViewHolder(DataViewHolder viewHolder, DataClass model, int position) {
viewHolder.setTitle(model.gettitle());
viewHolder.setDate(model.getDate());
}
};
myRecyclerView.setAdapter(FBRA);
And now we have to use something like this,
but the problem is this code is not populating my recyclerView (What changes do I need to make here to populate my recyclerView with my cardView?)
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Query query = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance()
.getReference()
.child("Official_Services");
FirebaseRecyclerOptions<ServiceClass> options = new FirebaseRecyclerOptions.Builder<ServiceClass>()
.setQuery(query, ServiceClass.class)
.build();
FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<ServiceClass, ServiceViewHolder> FBRA = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<ServiceClass, ServiceViewHolder>(options) {
@NonNull
@Override
public ServiceViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int i) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(HomeActivity.this).inflate(R.layout.service_card, parent, false);
return new ServiceViewHolder(view);
}
@Override
protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull ServiceViewHolder holder, int position, @NonNull ServiceClass model) {
holder.setServiceName(model.getServiceName());
holder.setServiceCaption(model.getServiceCaption());
}
};
mServiceList.setAdapter(FBRA);
}
Here is my ViewHolder class:
public static class ServiceViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public ServiceViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
View mView = itemView;
}
public void setServiceName(String serviceName) {
TextView sName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.serviceName);
sName.setText(serviceName);
}
public void setServiceCaption(String serviceCaption) {
TextView sCaption = itemView.findViewById(R.id.serviceCap);
sCaption.setText(serviceCaption);
}
}
And this is my Model class of getters and setters:
public class ServiceClass {
private String serviceName;
private String serviceCode;
private String serviceCaption;
private String serviceIconUrl;
public ServiceClass() {
}
public ServiceClass(String serviceName, String serviceCode, String serviceCaption, String serviceIconUrl) {
this.serviceName = serviceName;
this.serviceCode = serviceCode;
this.serviceCaption = serviceCaption;
this.serviceIconUrl = serviceIconUrl;
}
public String getServiceName() {
return serviceName;
}
public String getServiceCode() {
return serviceCode;
}
public String getServiceCaption() {
return serviceCaption;
}
public String getServiceIconUrl() {
return serviceIconUrl;
}
public void setServiceName(String serviceName) {
this.serviceName = serviceName;
}
public void setServiceCode(String serviceCode) {
this.serviceCode = serviceCode;
}
public void setServiceCaption(String serviceCaption) {
this.serviceCaption = serviceCaption;
}
public void setServiceIconUrl(String serviceIconUrl) {
this.serviceIconUrl = serviceIconUrl;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "ServiceClass{" +
"serviceName='" + serviceName + '\'' +
", serviceCode='" + serviceCode + '\'' +
", serviceCaption='" + serviceCaption + '\'' +
", serviceIconUrl='" + serviceIconUrl + '\'' +
'}';
}
}
Now what changes do I need to do?
Here is my entire java file:
public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private RecyclerView mServiceList;
private FirebaseDatabase mDatabase;
private DatabaseReference myRef;
FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<ServiceClass, ServiceViewHolder> FBRA;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
BottomNavigationViewEx bottomNavigationViewEx = findViewById(R.id.navViewBar);
bottomNavigationViewEx.enableAnimation(false);
bottomNavigationViewEx.enableShiftingMode(false);
bottomNavigationViewEx.setTextVisibility(false);
Calligrapher calligrapher = new Calligrapher(this);
calligrapher.setFont(this, "Helvetica.ttf", true);
mServiceList = findViewById(R.id.serviceRV);
mServiceList.setHasFixedSize(true);
mServiceList.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
myRef = mDatabase.getReference().child("Official_Services");
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
FBRA.startListening();
Query query = myRef;
FirebaseRecyclerOptions<ServiceClass> options = new FirebaseRecyclerOptions.Builder<ServiceClass>()
.setQuery(query, ServiceClass.class)
.build();
FBRA = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<ServiceClass, ServiceViewHolder>(options) {
@NonNull
@Override
public ServiceViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int i) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(HomeActivity.this).inflate(R.layout.service_card, parent, false);
return new ServiceViewHolder(view);
}
@Override
protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull ServiceViewHolder holder, int position, @NonNull ServiceClass model) {
holder.setServiceName(model.getServiceName());
holder.setServiceCaption(model.getServiceCaption());
}
};
mServiceList.setAdapter(FBRA);
}
public static class ServiceViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public ServiceViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
View mView = itemView;
}
public void setServiceName(String serviceName) {
TextView sName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.serviceName);
sName.setText(serviceName);
}
public void setServiceCaption(String serviceCaption) {
TextView sCaption = itemView.findViewById(R.id.serviceCap);
sCaption.setText(serviceCaption);
}
}
}
