In your code, you have this:

dbBillPaid.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

        billPaidList.clear();


        for(DataSnapshot customerSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
            // Customer customer = customerSnapshot.getValue(Customer.class);
            BillPaid billPaid =  customerSnapshot.getValue(BillPaid.class);

            billPaidList.add(billPaid);
        }

The for loop above is iterating inside the direct children and returning a String, thus you get that error.

Assuming you have this db:

billpaid
     pushid
        order_id:...

Then remove the the loop and use the following to solve the error:

dbBillPaid.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

        billPaidList.clear();

            BillPaid billPaid =  dataSnapshot.getValue(BillPaid.class);

            billPaidList.add(billPaid);
        }

Thankyou Sir Your assumption for Database is correct. But if i dont use For loop than will if get multiple records??

Umang Over a year ago

I tried removing for loop and there is no such error now. but as i said it fetches only 1 Order or Row. I want each row to display i.e. more than 1 row. Than is there any alternate of FOR Loop?? I also tried Type Casting when i was using For loop.... BillPaid billPaid = (BillPaid) dataSnapshot.getValue(BillPaid.class); but still not resolved

Umang Over a year ago

Thankyou Sir. It is been resolved. No For Loop required. I made a mistake in creating DB as u assumed was my goal but forgot to make entry of pushid.

Peter Haddad Over a year ago

okay great, also if you want to retrieve each field alone then just do, with a for loop: String name=customerSnapshot.child("order_id").getValue().toString()
