I am developing a simple chat application and i followed this tutorial [this video] to create this chat. But i am facing a problem with my dataSnapshot. I have deployed the app on 2 phones. But what happens is, when the Datasnapshot detects changes in the database, it doesn't update my listview with only my recent chat but together with previous messages already in the chat and i end up having duplicated messages. In the tutorial, it worked fine. I don't really know if it is because of the foreach loop. Why is this happening? public void OnDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot) { var items = snapshot.Child("key")?.Child("users id")?.Children?.ToEnumerable<DataSnapshot>(); HashMap map; foreach(DataSnap

Hi Patrick, thanks for the reply and suggestion. I can use the non real time messaging but that will kill the purpose of the app service. I found ( [this video] ) which I think I can start with.
