Deleting entry from firebase

[JH1]

Hi can you assist me with this please.

I am trying to delete single entries from firebase. When I press delete, it deletes the entry in the app but it is still there in firebase. When I use clear tag, it deletes everything in firebase.

When I use clear tag, it deletes everything in firebase

You do not show these blocks ?

This is strange, why not just store the list?

[JH1]

This is how I did it with clear tag

it is stored in database, im just saying, if I remove one from the app, I wanted to remove that same one from the database as well
For example, just to delete aspirin. Doesn't make sense to try and remove it?

[TIMAI2]

This works OK for me

Make sure Your MedBox.txt is not empty and that the content exists in your firebase data under /Meds

[JH1]

Just to clarify, this is the set up you have above?

[TIMAI2]

Did you test it?

[JH1]

Yes I did, didn't work for me

[TIMAI2]

@JH1

didn't work for me

Doesn't really help much

What didn't work ? Have you used Do It in companion to check output as each stage ?

To be on the safe side set

ProjectBucket = Automatic_Pill_Dispenser

at the start on the Button18 click event

Sorry, I meant its the same issue, it deletes from my list in the app but is still stored in firebase

[TIMAI2]

OK, what do you get back in your taglist value ? (the raw return of taglist)
and what is the value in MedBox.Text ?

[TIMAI2]

Had another look, the issue is the "clear" procedure, which empties the textbox.

To overcome this, set the listview selection to a variable, and use this in the Button19 and TagList events

Also, in the clear procedure you set the selectionIndex to the selectionIndex ?

[JH1]

I get the exact value

[JH1]

Actually, Button 18 is not the delete button, its the add.

So you're saying move the clear from the add button blocks to the delete blocks?

[TIMAI2]

@JH1

Button 18 is not the delete button, its the add.

I said button19....

@JH1

So you're saying move the clear from the add button blocks to the delete blocks?

I did not say that at all ???

Look at my latest blocks, and change yours to match.
Make a selection from the listview, then hit button19
This will remove the selection from the listview and on firebase

[JH1]

Okay I am just understanding, I tried it and it works!

Thank you very much
