In my use-case, I do not want to cache a specific part of the Firebase Database at all in my Android app.

I have tried the following things:

1) This change is made in the Application class of my app.

FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().setPersistenceEnabled(false);
FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("point-To-Place-I-don't-wanna-cache").keepSynced(false);

2) Removed FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().setPersistenceEnabled();from the application class.
Put FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("point-To-Place-I-don't-wanna-cache").keepSynced(false);in the activity before database access.

3) A few more combinations of the above commands.

Nothing seemed to work.

When you call setPersistenceEnabled(true), all data that the client recently received is cached to disk.

There is no way to exclude certain nodes from that disk persistence.
