java arraylist delete_Delete Arraylist data before adding

My Code

private void addOnlineData(final String item) {

mChildEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {

@Override

public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {

if (dataSnapshot != null) {

final String message = dataSnapshot.child("Message").getValue().toString();

final String time = dataSnapshot.child("Time").getValue().toString();

final String from = dataSnapshot.child("From").getValue().toString();

final String seen = dataSnapshot.child("Seen").getValue().toString();

LastSeen lastSeeen = new LastSeen();

long lastTime = Long.parseLong(time);

final String lastSeenTime = lastSeeen.lastSeen(lastTime, getActivity());

mDatabaseReference.child("UserData").child(item).child("Name").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {

@Override

public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

String name = dataSnapshot.getValue().toString();

//CODE GIVEN BELOW WAS HERE

}

@Override

public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

}

});

}

}

The things I've tried

1

Log.d("HHHHH2222", String.valueOf(mChats.size()));

mChats.remove(new HomeScreenChatsHelper(name, message, lastSeenTime, from, seen));

Log.d("HHHHH2222", String.valueOf(mChats.size()));

mChats.add(new HomeScreenChatsHelper(name, message, lastSeenTime, from, seen));

mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

2

Log.d("HHHHH2222", String.valueOf(mChats.size()));

mChats.clear();

mChats.add(new HomeScreenChatsHelper(name, message, lastSeenTime, from, seen));

Log.d("HHHHH2222", String.valueOf(mChats.size()));

mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

My activity just gets user data from firebase and presently it has 2 childs

if I change the data of an user the data in the arraylist should be deleted and added again to the changed data

Suppose the value of User A is X

the value of User B is Y

It shows that way in activity and if I change the value of User A to P from X

I want the activity to show the new data which is P

But in the methods that I tried.

1st One Im getting 3 values which is A = X, B = Y and A = P

As you can see new data is added but existing data isn't removed

In the 2nd Method the activity just keeps refreshing with only ne data which is A = P

When new data is added I want to delete the old data and show the new one without repetition

The methods I tried, The code was inside the onDataChange

Helper Class

public class HomeScreenChatsHelper {

private String Name;

private String LastMessage;

private String LastMessageTime;

private String From;

private String Seen;

public HomeScreenChatsHelper(){

}

public HomeScreenChatsHelper(String name, String lastMessage, String lastMessageTime, String from, String seen) {

this.Name = name;

this.LastMessage = lastMessage;

this.LastMessageTime = lastMessageTime;

this.From = from;

this.Seen = seen;

}

public String getName() {

return Name;

}

public void setName(String name) {

Name = name;

}

public String getMessage() {

return LastMessage;

}

public void setMessage(String message) {

LastMessage = message;

}

public String getTime() {

return LastMessageTime;

}

public void setTime(String time) {

LastMessageTime = time;

}

public String getFrom() {

return From;

}

public void setFrom(String from) {

From = from;

}

public String getSeen() {

return Seen;

}

public void setSeen(String seen) {

Seen = seen;

}

}
