Aim
To prompt the data of the current user such as name, address, neighbourhood by acquiring them through the Data Tree within Firebase Database
Picture of the Data Tree
Desrciption
The "London" and "Washington" child within the Data Tree are added in by the Admin account, which means that they are not fixed and that an additional child such as "New York" can be added.
Which would mean that the newly edited Data Tree will have under "Users", there will be "London", "Washington", and "New York"
The other childs, such as those shown below are fixed.
Guards
- name
- neighbourhood
Police
- address
- name
- neighbourhood
Resident
address
image
name
neighbourhood
position
status
Problem
I receive a "java.lang.NullPointerException" after attempting to prompt the data of the current user who is logged in.
The error is showing at the code String stgUserHomeName = dataSnapshot.child("Users").getValue().toString();
.
I was able to acquire my desired data such as "name", "address" and etc. before but when I had a problem when I added in a Not-Fixed parent such as "London" and "Washington".

Code Explanation
The jSettingsHomeName
and stgUserHomeName
are meant to be the "London", "Washington", and etc.
Solution to almost Similar Problem
In the link: How to get child of child value from firebase in android? , it shows how a programmer can get the child of a child but the reason as to why I am unable to follow the is because my "London" and "Washington" child tier isn't fixed
Update: Trying Solution given by Ewald B.
jSettingsDatabase.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
for(DataSnapshot node : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
String stgUserHomeName = node.getKey();
String stgUserName = node.child("Resident").child(settingsUserID).child("name").getValue().toString();
String stgUserStatus = node.child("Resident").child(settingsUserID).child("status").getValue().toString();
String stgUserHomeAddress = node.child("Resident").child(settingsUserID).child("address").getValue().toString();
final String stgUserImage = node.child("Resident").child(settingsUserID).child("image").getValue().toString();
jSettingsHomeName.setText(stgUserHomeName);
jSettingsDisplayName.setText(stgUserName);
jSettingsStatus.setText(stgUserStatus);
jSettingsAddress.setText(stgUserHomeAddress);
if(!stgUserImage.equals("default")){
Picasso.with(SettingsActivity.this).load(stgUserImage).networkPolicy(NetworkPolicy.OFFLINE)
.placeholder(R.drawable.avataricon).into(jSettingsImageView, new Callback() {
@Override
public void onSuccess() {
}
@Override
public void onError() {
Picasso.with(SettingsActivity.this).load(stgUserImage).placeholder(R.drawable.avataricon).into(jSettingsImageView);
}
});
}
}
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
Error
java.lang.NullPointerException at com.example.task.app.SettingsActivity$1.onDataChange(SettingsActivity.java:91)
Line 91 points to String stgUserName = node.child("Resident").child(settingsUserID).child("name").getValue().toString();
