During authentication the user is created with email and user name. Now I am trying to update that user with new fields like first name, last name, address, etc on registration time. But when I try to insert a new field it updates with the new fields and the old fields are removed.
public class User {
String uid,userName,firstName,lastName,email;
public User() {
}
//called on the time of auth
public User(String email, String userName) {
this.email = email;
this.userName = userName;
}
//called on registration process
public User( String firstName, String lastName,String mobileNo) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.mobileNo = mobileNo;
}
@Exclude
public Map<String, Object> toMap() {
HashMap<String, Object> result = new HashMap<>();
result.put("email", email);
result.put("userName", userName);
result.put("firstName", firstName);
result.put("lastName", lastName);
return result;
}
The following methods are used to add and update the firebase database. The addUser method is functional properly but during the update method it replace the old data.
String userId = getUid(); // its retrun firebase current user id as I use
// auth authentication
//first time entry in database
private void writeNewUser(String name, String email) {
User user = new User(name, email);
Map<String, Object> postValues = user.toMap();
mDatabase.child("users").child(userId).setValue(postValues);
}
//Its called during the registration porecess
private void updateUser() {
User user = new User(firstName, lastName, email);
Map<String, Object> postValues = user.toMap();
mDatabase.child("users").child(userId).updateChildren(postValues);
}
