My Code:

class NewsfeedActivity:AppCompatActivity () {
    private lateinit var dbref: DatabaseReference
    private lateinit var userRecyclerView: RecyclerView
    private lateinit var userArrayList: ArrayList<User>

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_newsfeed)
        userRecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.userList)
        userRecyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
        userRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true)
        userArrayList = arrayListOf<User>()
        getUserData()
    }

    private fun getUserData() {
        dbref = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Users")

        dbref.addValueEventListener(object : ValueEventListener{
            override fun onDataChange(snapshot: DataSnapshot) {
                if (snapshot.exists()){
                    for (userSnapshot in snapshot.children){
                        val user = userSnapshot.getValue(User::class.java)
                        userArrayList.add(user!!)
                    }
                    userRecyclerView.adapter=MyAdapter(userArrayList)
                }
            }

            override fun onCancelled(error: DatabaseError) {
                finish()
            }
        })
    }

User Data Class Code Where I am using these:

data class User(
    val name: String? = null,
    val email: String? = null,
    val phoneNumber: String? = null,
    val bloodGroup: String? = null,
    val cityName: String? = null,
    val availabality: String? = null
)

Previously I tried the set all the argument of Data class at null.

CodePudding user response：

It looks like one of the values under /Users in your database is a plain string value, rather than a User object. Have a look at your data in the Firebase console to see which child that is.
