Inconsistent behavior for Firebase Realtime Database
I try to update the data in Firebase Realtime Database through Android app. It will only occasionally work after I open the app and wait for some time. Most of the time it does not work. In my case, working mean the data is updated in cloud. I am wondering why it work sometimes and do not work sometimes. There is no error or warning in Logcat. Once it works, it will continue to work until the app is restarted.
DbHelper class
public class DbHelper
static final String TAG = "ttt";
int count = 0;
private static FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
private static DatabaseReference myRef = database.getReference("message");
TextView tv;
public DbHelper(final TextView tv)
this.tv = tv;
myRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener()
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot)
String text = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
tv.setText(text);
Log.d(TAG, "Value is: " + text);
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError)
Log.w(TAG, "Failed to read value.", databaseError.toException());
);
public void testing()
myRef.setValue("test"+count++);
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
TextView textTesting;
DbHelper dbHelper;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
textTesting = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_testing);
dbHelper = new DbHelper(textTesting);
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
@Override
public void onClick(View view)
dbHelper.testing();
);
Added
DatabaseReference connectedRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference(".info/connected");
connectedRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener()
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot)
boolean connected = snapshot.getValue(Boolean.class);
if (connected)
Log.d(TAG, "connected");
else
Log.d(TAG, "not connected");
@Override

Is there any reason why you put Firebase operations in a separate class instead of using instant creations?

@SamTew Do you have disk persistence ("offline capabilities") enabled? If the data is updated locally but never synced to Firebase: it sounds like a network issue.
