Getting data from firebase real time db

[haroldcwh2]

Hope to seek some directional advice as I am currently not able to get data from real time firebase.

Have set up the blocks and real time database as follows and wish to get the “meditation-msg1” and display it in screen label. However what’s displayed is " [ object object ] ". Many thanks in advance if any Guru can kindly advice.

Hi haroldcwh2,

As shown in the screenshot of your database, ‘meditation-msg1’ is actually under the key ‘000001’, that is under ‘wisdom-quotes’. Because of this you will have to reference all three of these keys in your code.

To achieve this, you will have to add a ‘join’ block from the Text blocks. Next, using text boxes input the three keys into each in the appropraite order. In your case, that is ‘wisdom-quotes’, ‘000001’ and then ‘meditation-msg1’. Next, put some forward slashs in-between the keys.

Below is a visual example:

Hope this helps

@haroldcwh2 you might want to mark the actual post that was the solution - as the actual solution, rather than your reply

Good idea… Here’s the solution blocks that I eventually leaned towards:

Have also added a random integer generator at the tail part of the “Join” so that messages stored in firebase may be randomly shown in the App Screen each time button is clicked.
