I'm using GraphView library. My code below gets data from Firebase real-time database and updates the graph with values from database, but it isn't sorted. I need it to be sorted in ascending order in X axis. The data in X axis is Long type, then it's converted to date.
I've tried adding dp[index]
to array list and using different sorting methods, but nothing seems to work.
@Override
public void onStart() {
reference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot snapshot) {
FirebaseAuth auth;
auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
FirebaseUser user = auth.getCurrentUser();
String id = user.getUid();
DataPoint[] dp = new DataPoint[(int) snapshot.child(id).getChildrenCount()];
int index = 0;
for(DataSnapshot myDataSnapshot : snapshot.child(id).getChildren()){
PointValue pointValue = myDataSnapshot.getValue(PointValue.class);
dp[index] = new DataPoint(pointValue.getxValue(), pointValue.getyValue());
index ++;
}
lineGraphSeries.resetData(dp);
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError error) {
}
});
super.onStart();
}
AlertDialog, where data is being written to the database:
builder.setPositiveButton("ADD",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
if(TextUtils.isEmpty(weightEditText.getText().toString()) || TextUtils
.isEmpty(dateEditText.getText().toString())) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Please provide weight and date",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else{
linearLayout.addView(createNewTextView(weightEditText.getText().toString(),
dateEditText.getText().toString()));
String id = user.getUid();
String randomId = reference.push().getKey();
try {
Date date = sdf.parse(dateEditText.getText().toString());
long x = date.getTime();
int y = Integer.parseInt(weightEditText.getText().toString());
PointValue pointValue = new PointValue(x,y);
reference.child(id).child(randomId).setValue(pointValue);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
builder.setView(view);
builder.show();
PointValue class:
public class PointValue {
long xValue;
int yValue;
public PointValue() {
}
public PointValue(long xValue, int yValue) {
this.xValue = xValue;
this.yValue = yValue;
}
public long getxValue() {
return xValue;
}
public int getyValue() {
return yValue;
}
}
@EDIT
Thanks to @Frank van Puffelen, I've managed to sort my data from Firebase Database using orderByChild() https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/android/lists-of-data#sort_data
below working solution:
@Override
public void onStart() {
FirebaseAuth auth;
auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
FirebaseUser user = auth.getCurrentUser();
String id = user.getUid();
Query dateAscendingOrder = database.getReference("users")
.child(id).orderByChild("xValue");
dateAscendingOrder.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot snapshot) {
DataPoint[] dp = new DataPoint[(int) snapshot.getChildrenCount()];
int index = 0;
for (DataSnapshot myDataSnapshot : snapshot.getChildren()){
PointValue pointValue = myDataSnapshot.getValue(PointValue.class);
dp[index] = new DataPoint(pointValue.getxValue(), pointValue.getyValue());
index++;
}
lineGraphSeries.resetData(dp);
}
