Firebase database always returns null

Question

When reading from this firebase database it always returns null instead of the value I need.

I have tried pulling it in the form of a String with the String.class but its still null.

What I need to pull from the data base is just the int dose and the pName variable in this case would be dfdf

final FirebaseDatabase aDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
final DatabaseReference mDatabase = aDatabase.getReference();
DatabaseReference myRef =  aDatabase.getReference(pName).child("dose");

// Read from the database
myRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
       // This method is called once with the initial value and again
       // whenever data at this location is updated.
       Integer Value = dataSnapshot.getValue(Integer.class);
       String peter = Integer.toString(Value);
       count.setText(peter);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancelled(DatabaseError error) {
        count.setText("E");
    }
});

Answer 1

Try changing -

DatabaseReference myRef =  aDatabase.getReference(pName).child("dose");

to -

DatabaseReference myRef =  mDatabase.child(pName).child("dose");

you should be running on mDatabase not aDatabase and get the child not reference

And change the listener to

addListenerForSingleValueEvent
