Error validating date in firebase database

Question

I’m trying to validate whether or not there’s a date in the bank. The situation that occurs is the following, I have a screen with a calendarview, when selecting a date it is displayed in a textview. After the date has been chosen, I click the schedule button, with this the user, the resource (selected in a spinner) and the date (selected in the calendarview) are inserted in my database in the firebase. However, I want to validate whether the selected date already exists in the bank or not. If it exists, it will display a message that this date is not available, if there is no schedule normally. But, when I perform this validation with the code below, error occurs on the android monitor and my application closes. Can anyone help me? Hugs. Follow android studio code, database and android monitor error.

Answer 1

Your problem is related to some null object (Nullpointerexception), check the objects you make '.toString()' in your 'btnAgendarRecurso.setOnClickListener...' that probably the problem will be there....
