Wow. Thank you! I wasted my time reading at firestore documents for this function. I am so disappointed that they did not include a function like this one. Damn google.

[@brandophiri3618]

can you please make a video on how to achieve pagination with algolia search and recyclerview android

[@AlexMamo]

If I'll find some free time, I will. In the meanwhile check firebase.google.com/products/extensions/firestore-algolia-search

[@nosikuminyoi18]

Hello, great video. But how do i add a filter to the query, for example get search results with type:Sports

[@AlexMamo]

I think this article will help: medium.com/firebase-tips-tricks/how-to-filter-firestore-data-cheaper-705f5efec444

[@ryanmechery7373]

I don't have much experience with asynchronous programming and am confused on how to get data from asyncSearch in the new algolia documentation. If I try and access data from the CompletableFuture object, Android returns NetworkOnMainThreadException.

[@AlexMamo]

Without seeing your code, I cannot be much of a help. So please post a question on StackOverflow, so I or other developers can help you.

[@mistermom2847]

hi there! could i ask at 9.56 where is the context within the new arrayadapter coming from?

[@AlexMamo]

It is defined as Context context = getApplicationContext(); in the activity class.

[@yilmaztuzen8918]

İf i duplucate my all data another thirty party why i continue using firebase? My all data in algolia. Can i use it for complate database?

[@AlexMamo]

No, you cannot. Alogia doesn't offer what does Firestore. It only applies to search.

[@terlanabaszade9221]

Hi Alex. Can you make it with kotlin?

[@AlexMamo]

If I'll find some free time, perhaps I will do it with Kotlin too.

[@mohamedayad70]

what if my firestore document isn't that simple ? I mean if it is a Product (with name , description , image ..etc ) , how can I convert the JSONObject to Product.clas in order to add it in a list then I can pass that list to a recyclerView adapter ? and thank you for your help with your great videos all the time

[@AlexMamo]

You can use the GSON library as explained here stackoverflow.com/questions/24322776/how-to-convert-a-java-object-to-a-jsonobject

[@mohamedayad70]

@@AlexMamo sorry I didn't get it

[@AlexMamo]

@@mohamedayad70 You can use a library to convert an object of type Product to a JSONObject, if this is what you need.

[@mohamedayad70]

@@AlexMamo no , I want to parse the jsonobject to a product Because my Firestore documents are products so I want to get the product and add it to list so I can show it in a recyclerview And again thanks for your interesting ❤️

[@AlexMamo]

@@mohamedayad70 In that case, there is no need to convert a document to a JSONObject, you can simply use toObject() method. This converts the document to an object of the desired class.

[@kennethdelacruz9485]

What if I changed the name of my product how can I update my Json file in algolia?

[@AlexMamo]

I f you change a name in Firestore you should also change that in Algolia. Check the docs.

[@kennethdelacruz9485]

@@AlexMamo is it possible to do this without using a 3rd party?

[@AlexMamo]

@@kennethdelacruz9485 Good question. The resoponse is yes, only if you're using a workaround as explained here: medium.com/firebase-tips-tricks/how-to-filter-firestore-data-cheaper-705f5efec444

[@kennethdelacruz9485]

@@AlexMamo I finally solved it. First I query all the items an store it on a List myList then in my EditText TextWatcher on onTextChanged I get the text of the EditText and send it on my method search(String text) then use an if statement for(Item i: myList) if(i.getName.toLowerCase().contains(newText.toLowerCase()) newList(i); adapter.add(newList);

[@AlexMamo]

@@kennethdelacruz9485 Good to hear that, Kenneth.

[@4212017]

can you make an example using algolia kotlin client pls?

[@AlexMamo]

If I'll get some free time, I'll do it.

[@PDc-y3x]

Great tutorial Alex! By the way, if I have an existing documents from my firestore database, how can I import them to Algolia? Thanks

[@AlexMamo]

Thak you, @Ｈｅｉｓｅｎｂｅｒｇ. Do you have any problem regarding that operation? If you have a hard time implementing that, please post a question on StackOverflow, using its own MCVE, so I and other Firebase developers can help you.

[@neerajaggarwal4689]

Can we do it in option menu search dialog rather than edit text

[@AlexMamo]

You can do it also there.

[@neerajaggarwal4689]

Thanks.

[@al-efada9144]

how can I do so using Recyclerview ?? please help me

[@AlexMamo]

stackoverflow.com/questions/49277797/how-to-display-data-from-firestore-in-a-recyclerview-with-android/49277842 is a recommended way in which you can retrieve data from a Cloud Firestore database and display it in a RecyclerView using FirestoreRecyclerAdapter.

[@juantry0015]

me salvaste tio!!

[@AlexMamo]

Good to hear that ;)

[@YashSompura]

It is data duplication. Share data with other third party.

[@AlexMamo]

That's the way it works.

[@geragera5342]

thanks

You're very welcomee, cheers!
