Retrieving data from Firebase Realtime Database in Android

Question

I\'m new to Firebase and NoSQL. I have an Android Demo, with a City Autocomplete Text Field in which I want to populate the cities I have from my Firebase DB, while typing.<

Answer 1

Of course OrderByValue returns nothing because that's the booleans you have.

you can use the startAt and endAt methods to do so. (The below is Firebase 2.0's Code)

var ref = new Firebase("https://dinosaur-facts.firebaseio.com/dinosaurs");
ref.orderByKey().startAt("b").endAt("b\uf8ff").on("child_added", function(snapshot) {
  console.log(snapshot.key());
});

You can explore more on the Firebase 3 documentation site here.

What Ryan did was right. However, you have to implement startAt on the dataSnapshot to make sure that your "live" search works.
