This is the Part 13 of “Build a Social Media App on Android Studio” tutorial, and we are going to cover the following functionalities in this article:
- We are going to delete the Blog written by the user.
- Blogs can only be deleted by the owner of blogs. In the top right of the blog, a button is there.
- After clicking on that a popup will come in that Delete button will come. After clicking on Delete, the blog will be successfully deleted from the blogs.
Step By Step Implementation
Step 1: Working with the AdapterPosts.java file
We will get the node inside the “Posts” which we want to delete. We are directly deleting the snapshot reference value.
Query query= FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Posts").orderByChild("ptime").equalTo(pid); query.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() { @Override public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { for (DataSnapshot dataSnapshot1:dataSnapshot.getChildren()){ dataSnapshot1.getRef().removeValue();//removing the value after getting reference } pd.dismiss(); Toast.makeText(context,"Deleted Successfully",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } @Override public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) { } });
Below is the updated code for the AdapterPosts.java file.
