如何在 LIKE_ID、POST_ID + USER_ID 中放入 Firebase

Question

I got a big problem that I can't fix by myself, I need to put in Firebase the Likes of my social network app with the id POSTID + USERID, but actually, I don't know how to bring the postid and paste it in the likes id (post key). The main problem is about the post_key: it gives me a random id instead of the post id but honestly, I have no idea how to bring it, so the result is LIKESID = RANDOMID + USERID, instead of LIKESID = POSTID + USERID I think is very simple to fix it for an expert programmer but as a beginner, this blows my mind

   public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.MyViewHolder> {

Answer 1

The issue is obvious. You create here:

final String post_key = Database.push().getKey();

Always a random Uid. And by using it here:

setlikebuttonstatus(post_key);

You always end up with LIKESID = RANDOMID + USERID as explained in the question. You also wrote the solution: Write the postUid instead the random one.

What is the model here giving you back? Is it just a string?:

holder.post.setText(model.getPost());

Can you share with us how you get the list of posts and we can find a solution. We basicaly need only the key from each post snapshot instead of the data. You probably have it but it's not mapped for your other code to get it.

With the code from the edit you can get the post uid like this and maybe add to the Model class a property id and add it afterdwards like this:

Model model = dataSnapshot.getValue(Model.class);
String key=dataSnapshot.getKey();
model.id=key;
list.add(model);
