Android Firestore - Update object in Array leads to unsupported type












1














I am confused about using new firestore function



https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/add-data#update_elements_in_an_array



In a firestore document I have the array "List" with custom objects "MyObect"



...update("TestArray", FieldValue.arrayUnion("Test"));


works fine and as expected.



But when I try this:



MyObject object = new MyObject(Value1, Value2);    
...update("List", FieldValue.arrayUnion(object));


I ended up with error



java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid data. Unsupported type: com.my.app.MyObject
at com.google.firebase.firestore.core.UserData$ParseContext.createError(com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore@@17.1.3:293)
at com.google.firebase.firestore.UserDataConverter.parseScalarValue(com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore@@17.1.3:405)
at com.google.firebase.firestore.UserDataConverter.parseData(com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore@@17.1.3:254)
at com.google.firebase.firestore.UserDataConverter.parseArrayTransformElements(com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore@@17.1.3:419)

at com.google.firebase.firestore.UserDataConverter.parseUpdateData(com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore@@17.1.3:171)
at com.google.firebase.firestore.DocumentReference.update(com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore@@17.1.3:239)


EDIT
Here is my database structure:



/UserData/UserID/Data/DataSet01/



Under this path I have a few values like:




  • name

  • birth

  • gender

  • List(array)


birth gender List(array)



DocumentReference document= FirebaseFirestore.getInstance().document("UserData").collection("UserID").document("DataSet01");
document.update("TestArray", FieldValue.arrayUnion("test"));


Adds the field "TestArray" and any given string, in the case above "test".



But the following code doesnt work:



DocumentReference document= FirebaseFirestore.getInstance().document("UserData").collection("UserID").document("DataSet01");
document.update("List", FieldValue.arrayUnion(myObject));

  • Please add your database structure to see your TestArray as well as your List array.
