I've trawled through online articles on threads on SO to try and figure out how I can do this, but haven't come any closer.
This thread (How to get a String List from Firebase to fill a Spinner) seems like it could be beneficial, however I'm unsure how to implement it for my own scenario.
I want the property addresses to be present in the spinner.
Apologies if the question seems vague, quite hard to explain.
MaintenanceActivity
public class MaintenanceActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText editTextTitle;
EditText editTextDesc;
Spinner spinnerPrimary;
Spinner spinnerSecondary;
Spinner spinnerProperty;
Button buttonSubmit;
DatabaseReference databaseMaintenance;
ListView listViewIssues;
List<Maintenance> maintenanceList;
fDatabaseRoot.child("propertyAddress").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
// Is better to use a List, because you don't know the size
// of the iterator returned by dataSnapshot.getChildren() to
// initialize the array
final List<String> propertyAddress = new ArrayList<String>();
for (DataSnapshot addressSnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String propertyAddress = addressSnapshot.child("propertyAddress").getValue(String.class);
propertyAddress.add(propertyAddress);
}
Spinner spinnerProperty = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinnerProperty);
ArrayAdapter<String> addressAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MaintenanceActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, areas);
addressAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinnerProperty.setAdapter(addressAdapter);
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
