I am doing a project with firebase, able to save some records on the database, but retrieving it has been an issue for me, I've meddled with other posts from SO but they haven't worked for me. This is how the database looks like (An example):

And my code for retrieving the data:

private void readDataFromDB() 
 databaseReference.child("users").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() 
 @Override
 public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) 
 User user = new User();
 for (DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) 
 user.setStrName(//Get the Name of the user);
 user.setStrScore(//Get the Score of the user));
 
 

 @Override
 public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) 

 
 );

The User class:

public class User 
 String strName, strScore;

 public String getStrName() 
 return strName;
 

 public void setStrName(String strName) 
 this.strName = strName;
 

 public String getStrScore() 
 return strScore;
 

 public void setStrScore(String strScore) 
 this.strScore = strScore;
 

How can I get the name and score from each specific user

In your code, you are setting values, you need to be retrieving values using the getters.

Try the following:

databaseReference.child("users").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() 
 @Override
 public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) 
 User user = dataSnapshot.getValue(User.class);
 String name = user.getStrName();
 String score = user.getStrScore();
 

 @Override
 public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) 

 
);

But, first you need to add the values to the database example:

User user = new User();
user.setStrName("my_name");
user.setStrScore("20");

DatabaseReference ref = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("users");
ref.push().setValue(user);

Note setValue():

In addition, you can set instances of your own class into this location, provided they satisfy the following constraints:

1. The class must have a default constructor that takes no arguments


2. The class must define public getters for the properties to be assigned. Properties without a public getter will be set to their default value when an instance is deserialized

You need to add a default constructor to the POJO class public User() and also the field names in the class should match the ones in the database. So change this String strName, strScore; into this String name, score; and generate the getters and setters again.

Instead of creating profile in every node you can use a global profile node, and in that store the profile data with their UID, which would make it easier for you to fetch detail of single user.

-profile
 -UID1
 -name
 -score
 -UID2
 -name
 -score

While retrieving you can use getCurrentUser.getUid() to retrieve data for each user:

 String uid = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid();
databaseReference.child("users").child("profile").child(uid).addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() 
 @Override
 public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) 
 User user = new User();

 user = dataSnapshot.getValue(User.class);

 

 @Override
 public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) 

 
);
