I am trying to display the value of this child node in the Firebase but I am unable to do so because of this error.

You are getting the following error:
com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseException: Can't convert object of type java.lang.String to type com.example.chocolate.ModelChatlist
Because you are trying to convert an object of type String to an object of type ModelChatlist, which is actually not possible in Java. This is happening because you are looping through the DataSnapshot object using the getChildren() method. All children within the UID node, are String elements and not ModelChatlist objects, hence that error.
To solve this, you have to remove the loop:
reference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Chatlist").child(currentUser.getUid());
reference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
chatlistList.clear();
ModelChatlist chatlist = dataSnapshot.getValue(ModelChatlist.class);
chatlistList.add(chatlist);
loadChats();
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
Log.d("TAG", databaseError.getMessage()); //Don't ignore potential errors!
}
});
CodePudding user response：
As I said in the comments, the error occurs when trying to convert the string received by ds.getValue(ModelChatlist.class) into a ModelChatlist variable. Since, I assume, ds.getValue() provides the id value of a ModelChatlist, you'd want to do something like:
for (DataSnapshot ds: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
ModelChatlist chatlist = new ModelChatlist (ds.getValue(ModelChatlist.class));
chatlistList.add(chatlist);
}
