How would I save a series of text input’s on a screen to Firebase? I have 5 onboarding screens with a list of questions the user needs to fill out that I need to capture.
Would I use cloud variables and use create object with fields like this example?
Also - I have this dropdown thing for intensity. The Intensity of training is a button and when that is clicked it shows 4 different options that I need saved as well. But i realized the tutorial i went through had these as app variables instead of cloud variables.
What’s the best way to get these dropdowns stored like the text input fields?
When you say “drop downs” I assume from your screenshot you mean a List Viewer.
When a user clicks on a listview item, their choice is stored in a green “item” block. You can assign this block to an app variable and then store that variable in Firebase just like you’ve done with the text input blocks.
These two things have to be the same, either a variable or a text input’s text. I would use a variable but that’s up to you.
Okay, thanks. I’ll have to keep playing around with it. I just don’t understand what I need to do with the blocks to make this work.
Is this how you assign the listview item block to an app variable?
No. And I’m sorry I haven’t been able to provide a screenshot of blocks. I’ve been away from my computer for a couple days.
Set app variable Gender to [item].
The [item] block is green and you just drag it from the “when list viewer item is clicked” event block.
So the left side of your screenshot is correct (setting a variable value) but the right side is not. It needs to be the [item] block. And that block can only be used inside of the “when list viewer item is clicked” event block.

You’re awesome! Thank you so much. I finally have it writing to Firebase.
Thanks for getting me started with the structure!
