Firebase Real time database with ListView

hai friends in this tutorial we will learn how to work with firebase listview ,this is used to display the data of Firebase Realtime Database by rows manner,
so before you work with this example you must know the following things 

• what is the firebase 
• why we need to use firebase
• what is tha advanatges of firebase

if you don't know about the above things Firebase setup video

Lets start our work

• creating a new android project

1. I just created a new android project(i.e ListviewTest)
2. In this project we will retrieve the data from Firebase Realtime Database and displays into listview 
3. so now we have to setup our android app to firebase project(if you don't know about please see the below video )

• add the following dependency in our project under project structure build.gradle(Module: app) file in module section

 compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.8.0'  

uses of above dependency

• firebase database dependency used to uses the database feature of firebase 

create User Interface for our Application

• make our activity_main.xml file to below  

activity_main.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
   android:id="@+id/activity_main2"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"  
   android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"  
   android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"  
   android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"  
   tools:context="com.example.mahesh.firebasesample.Main2Activity">  
   <ListView  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="match_parent"  
     android:id="@+id/listview"  
     android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"  
     android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"  
     android:layout_alignParentStart="true"  
     android:layout_marginBottom="11dp" />  
 </RelativeLayout>  

• finally we get user interface like this

ativity_main.xml

• make the MainActivity.java file like this

MainActivity.java

 package com.example.mahesh.firebasesample;  
 import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;  
 import android.widget.ListView;  
 import android.widget.Toast;  
 import com.google.firebase.database.ChildEventListener;  
 import com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot;  
 import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseError;  
 import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseReference;  
 import com.google.firebase.database.FirebaseDatabase;  
 import com.google.firebase.database.ValueEventListener;  
 import java.util.ArrayList;  
 import java.util.Map;  
 public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {  
   DatabaseReference dref;  
   ListView listview;  
   ArrayList<String> list=new ArrayList<>();  
   @Override  
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
     listview=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listview);  
     final ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,list);  
     listview.setAdapter(adapter);  
     dref=FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();  
     dref.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {  
       @Override  
       public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {  
         list.add(dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class));  
         adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();  
       }  
       @Override  
       public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {  
       }  
       @Override  
       public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {  
         list.remove(dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class));  
         adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();  
       }  
       @Override  
       public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {  
       }  
       @Override  
       public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {  
       }  
     });  
   }  
 }
