How to retrieve current user id and put into a fragment

Question

I'm make a account fragment, so I want to retrieve name and image data, but it make my apps force close:

This is my account fragment:

 import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.net.Uri; import android.nfc.Tag; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.annotation.NonNull; import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.util.Log; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.Toast; import com.bumptech.glide.Glide; import com.bumptech.glide.request.RequestOptions; import com.google.android.gms.tasks.OnCompleteListener; import com.google.android.gms.tasks.Task; import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth; import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseUser; import com.google.firebase.firestore.DocumentSnapshot; import com.google.firebase.firestore.FirebaseFirestore; import com.google.firebase.storage.FirebaseStorage; import com.google.firebase.storage.StorageReference; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.zip.Inflater; import de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView; import static android.support.constraint.Constraints.TAG; /** * A simple {@link Fragment} subclass. */ public class AccountFragment extends Fragment { private StorageReference storageReference; private FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth; private FirebaseFirestore firebaseFirestore; private Uri mainImageURI = null; private String user_id; private TextView accountName; private CircleImageView accountImage; public AccountFragment() { // Required empty public constructor } @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { // Inflate the layout for this fragment View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_account, container, false); getUser(); return view; } protected void getUser() { FirebaseUser currentUser = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser(); user_id = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid(); accountName = getView().findViewById(R.id.account_name); accountImage = getView().findViewById(R.id.account_image); firebaseFirestore.collection("Users").document(user_id).get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener < DocumentSnapshot > () { @Override public void onComplete(@NonNull Task < DocumentSnapshot > task) { if (task.isSuccessful()) { if (task.getResult().exists()) { String name = task.getResult().getString("name"); String image = task.getResult().getString("image"); mainImageURI = Uri.parse(image); accountName.setText(name); RequestOptions placeholderRequest = new RequestOptions(); placeholderRequest.placeholder(R.drawable.person); Glide.with(AccountFragment.this).setDefaultRequestOptions(placeholderRequest).load(image).into(accountImage); } } else { String error = task.getException().getMessage(); Toast.makeText(getContext(), "(FIRESTORE Retrieve Error) : " + error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } }); } }

this is my error log

which is here

getUser();

and here

user_id = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid();

this is my mainActivity

//fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.main_container, fragment); fragmentTransaction.commit(); } }

it shows some error too in here

super.onStart();

I'm sorry because my English is not good, and I am also a new user in this forum, I think I need to be guided.

Answer 1

Apparentely you is using the not instancied variable to get data. Try change the to it:

protected void getUser() {

FirebaseUser currentUser = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();

user_id = currentUser.getUid();
....
}

Answer 2

This worked for me here:

//in Class definition.
private FirebaseFirestore firebaseFirestore;
private FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth;
private FirebaseUser currentUser;

//Declareation in Oncreate()
currentUser = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
userId = currentUser.getUid();
private void setUserName() {
    /*
        Assign the value of profile_name_of field in the document of the current user
        under Users collection.
        pre:---.
        post: changes the value of the instance variable of username.
     */

    firebaseFirestore.collection("Users").document(userId)
            .get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<DocumentSnapshot>() {

        @Override
        public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<DocumentSnapshot> task) {
            DocumentSnapshot documentSnapshot = task.getResult();

            if(documentSnapshot.exists()){

                List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
                Map<String, Object> map = documentSnapshot.getData();

                if(map != null){

                    for(Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : map.entrySet()){
                        list.add(entry.getValue().toString());
                    }

                    username = list.get(0);
                    Toast.makeText(context,
                          "username"+username,
                          Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }
        }
    });
}

Answer 3

Tol get the uid of the user, simply use the following lines of code:

FirebaseUser firebaseUser = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
if (firebaseUser != null) {
    String uid = firebaseUser.getUid(); //Do what you need to do with your uid
}

It's also important to check the firebaseUser for nullity.
