java long转object,无法将java.lang.Long类型的对象转换为java.util.Date类型

I'm migrating to Firebase new version and I get the following error when trying to getvalue from the snapshot

com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseException: Can't convert object of type java.lang.Long to type java.util.Date

This happens when trying to getvalue from the snapshot in the following method

public void getUpdates(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot){

Item item = dataSnapshot.getValue(Item.class);

itemArrayList.add(item);

itemAdapter.refreshItem(itemArrayList);

}

I guess it has something to do with the Item object, but it worked before, so I can't figure out what's wrong. I'm using dates indeed.

Firebase item structure

Item object

private String title;

private String description;

private HashMap picturesHashMap;

private Date publishedDate;

private Date deletionDate;

private String condition;

private String delivery;

private String uid;

private int reported;

private boolean given;

private Location location;

private String frontImage;

private String uniqueID;

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Firebase doesn't support Date class objects so you need to store them as long/timestamp which you have already done.

1463845578489 is a long which needs to be stored in a long variable and not a Date

change your variable declaration to

private long publishedDate;

Then to convert long to a valid Date object you can use this

Date d = new Date(publishedDate);
