Checking if a particular value exists in the Firebase database

Question

I am making an Android application using Firebase realtime database. When a new user registers on my app, that user\'s data is saved in the Firebase database. <

Answer 1

Works Perfectly for me

DatabaseReference reference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
        Query query = reference
                .child(getString(R.string.dbname_users))
                .orderByChild("username")
                .equalTo(username);
        query.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                if(dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount()>0) {
                    //username found

                }else{
                    // username not found
                }

            }
            @Override
            public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

            }
        });
