Hi all. my app will be display a real-time data of body temperature and heart rate from the firebase. I already can display it in the app by using List\_Viewer. But I have to always click the list viewer to keep updated the data displayed. Is it any way to make it always display the updated data without have to click the list viewer.

You can do this in **three** different ways

1- Using a loop

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/7/0735aab2a8aa3a1034c65b308c6d936c7325ed0f.png)

In this example, once you click `Button1` the loop will start and read the content and display it in `Label1`. This will go on until you close the app

2- Using a Timer  
Setup the timer as shown and choose the interval

Then add whatever blocks you want in the `Fire` coding block.

3- Using Initializes or Changes block  
You need to first create `cloud variables`

Then use the `Initializes or Changes` block to detect change

Of course you will need to create the necessary codes and labels for each entry you want to monitor.

Hope this helps
