Firebase setValue与不同类型的地图

Question

To update an object in Firebase, I'm using this code, that transforms my model into a dictionary.

This is the method that does such thing:

private static Map<String, Object> getPlayerData(Player player) {
    Map<String, Object> data = new HashMap<>();
    data.put(PLAYER_ID_KEY, player.getId());
    data.put(PLAYER_NAME_KEY, player.getFullName());
    data.put(PLAYER_SCORE_KEY, player.getScore());
    data.put(PLAYER_STATUS_KEY, player.getStatus());
    return data;
}

and this is how I use the result, setting it as a value for theFirebaseRef :

Map<String, Object> playerData = getPlayerData(userAsPlayer, newPlayerStatus);

theFirebaseRef.setValue(playerData, new Firebase.CompletionListener() {/**irrelevant code**/});

It works, but the PLAYER_SCORE_KEY ends up as a string in Firebase, when it should be an int :

I guess it makes sense because I'm doing a Map and declaring its values are of type Object .

Is there a way to make PLAYER_SCORE_KEY be an int when setting the value from a Map<String, Object> ?

Edit:

The getter getScore() returns an int :

public int getScore() {
     return score;
}

Edit:

To clarify, score is stored as a String only when called from my app. When either the web/iOS client add/modify a player, they save it as an int. The problem is that Android is the only one not doing so!

_{(Setting my model as a value as done in the Firebase documentation isn't an option because the Firebase property names are ugly and the server guy uses different names for everything...)}

Answer 1

I believe your problem is your map parameters. You probably will need to make two maps, one with parameters (String, Object) like you have, and another of type (Integer, Object) to hold any integer information. Then set the values in Firebase accordingly.

Otherwise, you might could use Integer.parseInt() on PLAYER_SCORE_KEY to convert it to an integer, then set this value in Firebase directly instead of passing it in the map.
