When my Home fragment uses regular buttons through intent to go to a new class. On the new class when I try to use RecylerVie and Firebase to show data, the data does not appear and the app crashes.
On my Firebase the nodes go from project --> to DataHome --> Home1. Home 1 has the attributes description,directions, ingredients, image, title
DataHome also has other nodes named Home2, etc. But in this case I'm only trying to show data from Home1 on this class.
The logcat says Fatal Exception Main: Process: com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseException: Can't convert object of type java.lang.String to type com.example.tmrecipes.Model.DataHome
This is the class:
public class BeefSamosa extends AppCompatActivity {
FirebaseDatabase mHomeFireBaseDatabase;
RecyclerView myhomeview;
private DatabaseReference DataHomeRef;
private LinearLayoutManager mLinearLayoutManager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_beef_samosa);
//Back Button
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Beef Samosa");
//Recycler View
myhomeview = findViewById(R.id.beefview);
myhomeview.setHasFixedSize(true);
//set layout as LinearLayout
myhomeview.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
//send query to firebase database
mHomeFireBaseDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DataHomeRef = mHomeFireBaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("DataHome").child("Home1");
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item){
int id = item.getItemId();
if(id == android.R.id.home){
//ends the activity
this.finish();
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Query query = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance()
.getReference("DataHome")
.child("Home1");
FirebaseRecyclerOptions<DataHome> options =
new FirebaseRecyclerOptions.Builder<DataHome>()
.setQuery(DataHomeRef, DataHome.class)
.build();
FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<DataHome,DataHomeViewHolder> firebaseRecyclerAdapter = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<DataHome, DataHomeViewHolder>(options) {
@NonNull
@Override
public DataHomeViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewtype) {
final View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.activity_home_deatil, parent, false);
return new DataHomeViewHolder(view);
}
@Override
protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull DataHomeViewHolder holder, int position, @NonNull DataHome model) {
holder.setDetails(getApplicationContext(), model.getTitle(), model.getImage(), model.getDescription() , model.getIngredients(), model.getDirections());
}
};
firebaseRecyclerAdapter.startListening();
myhomeview.setAdapter(firebaseRecyclerAdapter);
}
//DataHomeViewHolder class
public static class DataHomeViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
View mview;
public DataHomeViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
super(itemView);
mview = itemView;
}
public void setDetails(Context ctx, String title, String image, String description, String ingredients , String directions) {
//Views
TextView mHomeTitle = mview.findViewById(R.id.titlewords);
ImageView mHomeImage = mview.findViewById(R.id.loading_pic);
TextView mDescriptionTitle = mview.findViewById(R.id.descriptionwords);
TextView mIngredientsTitle = mview.findViewById(R.id.ingredientwords);
TextView mDirectionsTitle = mview.findViewById(R.id.directionwords);
//Set data to views
mHomeTitle.setText(title);
mDescriptionTitle.setText(description);
mIngredientsTitle.setText(ingredients);
mDirectionsTitle.setText(directions);
Picasso.get().load(image).into(mHomeImage);
}
}
}
My model class is:
public class DataHome {
public String title ,image, description, ingredients, directions;
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public String getImage() {
return image;
}
public void setImage(String image) {
this.image = image;
}
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
public void setDescription(String description) {
this.description = description;
}
public String getIngredients() {
return ingredients;
}
public void setIngredients(String ingredients) {
this.ingredients = ingredients;
}
public String getDirections() {
return directions;
}
public void setDirections(String directions) {
this.directions = directions;
}
public DataHome(String title, String image, String description, String ingredients, String directions){
this.title =title;
this.image = image;
this.description = description;
this.ingredients = ingredients;
this.directions=directions;
}
}
Edit: The changed class is:
public class BeefSamosa extends AppCompatActivity {
private FirebaseRecyclerAdapter firebaseRecyclerAdapter;

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_beef_samosa);

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Beef Samosa");
RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.beef_view);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
DatabaseReference rootRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
Query query = rootRef.child("DataHome");
FirebaseRecyclerOptions<DataHome> firebaseRecyclerOptions = new FirebaseRecyclerOptions.Builder<DataHome>()
.setQuery(query, DataHome.class)
.build();
firebaseRecyclerAdapter = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<DataHome, DataHomeViewHolder>(firebaseRecyclerOptions) {
@Override
protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull DataHomeViewHolder dataHomeViewHolder, int position, @NonNull DataHome dataHome) {
dataHomeViewHolder.setDataHome(dataHome);
}
@Override
public DataHomeViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.homedetail, parent, false);
return new DataHomeViewHolder(view);
}
};
recyclerView.setAdapter(firebaseRecyclerAdapter);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
firebaseRecyclerAdapter.startListening();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (firebaseRecyclerAdapter!= null) {
firebaseRecyclerAdapter.stopListening();
}
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item){
int id = item.getItemId();
if(id == android.R.id.home){
//ends the activity
this.finish();
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
//DataHomeViewHolder class
private class DataHomeViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

DataHomeViewHolder(View itemView){

description = itemView.findViewById(R.id.description);
ingredients = itemView.findViewById(R.id.ingredients);
directions = itemView.findViewById(R.id.directions);
}
void setDataHome(DataHome DataHome) {
String imageto = DataHome.getImage();
imagetoo.setText(imageto);
String titleto = DataHome.getTitle();
titletext.setText(titleto);
String descriptionto = DataHome.getDescription();
description.setText(descriptionto);
String ingredientsto = DataHome.getIngredients();
ingredients.setText(ingredientsto);
String directionsto = DataHome.getDirections();
directions.setText(directionsto);
}
}
}
