How to read specifc value under 1 node Android Firebase

Question

I have a data structure that looks like this

TABLENAME {
USERID { 
USERID: ...
DATE: ....
}
}

I want to only read / retrive the DATE value, how can I do that?

I tried:

Log.d("Print Date", snapshotValue.get("DATE")); 

but it doesn't work it says required string found object.

Basically I want to do something like this, if it can be done without using MAP;

String date = snapshot.getValue("DATE");

Answer 1

Try

snapshot.child("DATE").getValue().toString();
