Hey everyone! I am confused as to how to get the value from firebase and receive the value from thunkable using cloud variables. Can anybody help me?

In Thunkable there are 3 types of variables that you can set in the initialize stage. App variables which will only be available as long as the app is running and once the app is closed or exit then the values are gone. Stored variables which will save the values in your mobile so that the next time the app runs can read these variables and show/manipulate the values. Cloud variables are those who maps the keys of the Firebase RTDB. So when you want to read data stored in Firebase under user_id/job_id/job_code for example then you just add a cloud variable to your app and the name of the variable is the database key (in this example user_id/job_id/job_code) and the variable will show the content of this key in the database. That is in short.

So how do I get the value that is under that key?

Just have the cloud variable name to be the same as the key in the database.

But how do I retrieve the value? Should I set the my label to the cloud variable?

Assign the cloud variable to a label in your screen and the value will show as the label text

No. You need to use this block to set firebase values: [image] And this block to retrieve them: [image] Change the variable type from “app” to “cloud” and replace “name” with “user_id”: [image]

Nope. What are you trying to do? Are you wanting someone to type in a value and then have it stored in Firebase? Because that’s what the third set of blocks I posted above would do.

I want to retrieve the value from Firebase. I have a value under the name “user_id” in firebase. I want to set the text input to the value of “user_id” How do I do that?
