在课程上找不到用于Social_Security_Number的设置器/字段

Question

I am getting this warning and then a subsequent NullpointerException.

After looking through articles some more, I tried making sure my Java Class names matched the ones in my Firebase DB, but I am still getting the error.

FirebaseDB:

According to Java Naming conventions , your model class should look like this:

public class EmployeeUser {
    private String userId;
    private String emailAddress;
    private String socialSecurityNumber;

    public EmployeeUser(String userId, String emailAddress, String socialSecurityNumber) {
        this.userId = userId;
        this.emailAddress = emailAddress;
        this.socialSecurityNumber = socialSecurityNumber;
    }

    public EmployeeUser(String emailAddress) {
        this.emailAddress = emailAddress;
    }

    public EmployeeUser() {}

    public String getUserId() {
        return userId;
    }

    public void setUserId(String userId) {
        this.userId = userId;
    }

    public String getEmailAddress() {
        return emailAddress;
    }

    public void setEmailAddress(String emailAddress) {
        this.emailAddress = emailAddress;
    }

    public String getSocialSecurityNumber() {
        return socialSecurityNumber;
    }

    public void setSocialSecurityNumber(String socialSecurityNumber) {
        this.socialSecurityNumber = socialSecurityNumber;
    }
}

You are getting No setter/field for Social_Security_Number found on class error because Firebase is looking for a field named socialSecurityNumber accordingly to your getSocialSecurityNumber() getter method. Your field is Social_Security_Number instead of socialSecurityNumber and therefore that error.
