saving json object to firebase in android

Question

I am new to firebase, and I am trying to put json object data into my firebase. I know how to put data as a class object into firebase, But I want to put json object data.

Yes, you can achieve this. Start by converting your json to a string then do the following:

  String jsonString; //set to json string
  Map jsonMap = new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, new TypeToken>() {}.getType());

I am using the "updateChildren" method because I want the JSON object added directly to the root of my child object

  firebaseDatabaseRef.child("users").child(uid).updateChildren(jsonMap);

If you don't care or you would like to set a new node, use

 firebaseDatabaseRef.child("users").child(uid).child({your new node}).setValue(jsonMap);
