Trying to retrieve field from one collection based on UID of two collections matching

I am trying to retrieve the name of each student where their userUID matches up from the attendance collection and the student collection i.e if the two user UID's match I would like to return the name associated with the userUID from the student collection. I am querying the attendance table to begin.

Here is my code:

public void viewAttendance(View v) {

    attendanceRef2.orderBy("sessionID", Query.Direction.ASCENDING)

            .get().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<QuerySnapshot>() {

        @Override

        public void onSuccess(QuerySnapshot queryDocumentSnapshots) {

            String data = "";



            for (QueryDocumentSnapshot documentSnapshot : queryDocumentSnapshots) {

                Attendance attendance = documentSnapshot.toObject(Attendance.class);

                Student studentName = documentSnapshot.toObject(Student.class);



                String sessionID = attendance.getSessionID();

                String studentID = attendance.getUserUID();

                String attendanceUID = studentName.getUserUID();

                String name;



                if (studentID.equals(attendanceUID)){



        name = studentName.getName();

                    data+= "Session ID: " + sessionID + "n" + "Student Name: " + name + "nn";

                }

            }

            textViewData.setText(data);

        }

    });

}

You're loading a single document from a single collection in the code your now have. If you want to load the student from a different collection, you will have to do so inside the loop with another get() like: db.collection("Users").document(studentID).get().addOnCompleteListener(....

You will need an onSuccess, just you like have for your outer listener. And then inside that new onSuccess you load the user information from the new document that you loaded with Student studentName = documentSnapshot.toObject(Student.class);

You're getting closer. You need to load two documents:

The attendance information

The user information for the student

Since the user name comes from the second document, you can only call DocumentSnapshot.toObject once that second document has been loaded (so in the onComplete or onSuccess callback of the second listener). Something like:

public void viewAttendance(View v) {

  attendanceRef2.orderBy("sessionID", Query.Direction.ASCENDING)

        .get().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<QuerySnapshot>() {

    @Override

    public void onSuccess(QuerySnapshot queryDocumentSnapshots) {

        String data = "";



        for (QueryDocumentSnapshot documentSnapshot : queryDocumentSnapshots) {

            Attendance attendance = documentSnapshot.toObject(Attendance.class);



            String sessionID = attendance.getSessionID();

            String attendanceUID = attendance.getUserUID();

            String studentUID = studentName.getUserUID();



            if (attendanceUID.equals(studentUID)){

                db.collection("Student").document(studentUID).get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<DocumentSnapshot>() {

                    @Override

                    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<DocumentSnapshot> task) {

                        Student studentName = task.getResult().toObject(Student.class);

                        textViewData.setText(studentName);

                        // Or maybe: textViewData.setText(studentName.getName());



                        data+= "Session ID: " + sessionID + "n" + "Student Name: " + studentName + "nn";

                        textViewData.setText(data);

                    }

                });



            }

        }

    }

  });

}

The name variable when trying to print out the data is confusing me Frank, after the if statement finishes how does it fetch the name based on the userUID's.

– Sean Gallagher
Aug 22 '18 at 13:45

Aha... I has missed those lines. Since they need the name (which is only available after the second document has also loaded), they need to be inside the second callback. I updated my answer.

Aug 22 '18 at 14:01

when I search the student collection then use .document("name") is this implying that name is a document. Because I am looking for the name of the students which is a field within a document held in the student collection

The name variable when trying to print out the data is confusing me Frank, after the if statement finishes how does it fetch the name based on the userUID's.

Aha... I has missed those lines. Since they need the name (which is only available after the second document has also loaded), they need to be inside the second callback. I updated my answer.

with this updated solution I am getting a runtime error in the logcat, it is pointing to this line textViewData.setText(studentName);

when I search the student collection then use .document("name") is this implying that name is a document. Because I am looking for the name of the students which is a field within a document held in the student collection

You're getting closer. You need to load two documents:

The attendance information

The user information for the student

public void viewAttendance(View v) {

  attendanceRef2.orderBy("sessionID", Query.Direction.ASCENDING)

        .get().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<QuerySnapshot>() {

    @Override

    public void onSuccess(QuerySnapshot queryDocumentSnapshots) {

        String data = "";



        for (QueryDocumentSnapshot documentSnapshot : queryDocumentSnapshots) {

            Attendance attendance = documentSnapshot.toObject(Attendance.class);



            String sessionID = attendance.getSessionID();

            String attendanceUID = attendance.getUserUID();

            String studentUID = studentName.getUserUID();



            if (attendanceUID.equals(studentUID)){

                db.collection("Student").document(studentUID).get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<DocumentSnapshot>() {

                    @Override

                    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<DocumentSnapshot> task) {

                        Student studentName = task.getResult().toObject(Student.class);

                        textViewData.setText(studentName);

                        // Or maybe: textViewData.setText(studentName.getName());



                        data+= "Session ID: " + sessionID + "n" + "Student Name: " + studentName + "nn";

                        textViewData.setText(data);
