Saba Nayab :
While Registering an account using Firebase auth I stored emails in 2 categories Teacher and Student. I add emails to Firestore 2 different categories Teacher and Student with email and password. When I login I want to check that email belongs to which category (Teacher or Student) how can I do that I tried the firestore query isequalsto but it didn't differentiate.
Here is my database
Teacher
Student
Any other possible solution?
here is my code for login activity

Using two different collections, one for each type of your users isn't quite a flexible solutions. Another more simpler solution might be:
Firestore-root
|
--- users (collection)
|
--- uid (document)
| |
| --- email: "[email protected]"
| |
| --- password: "********"
| |
| --- type: "student"
|
--- uid (document)
|
--- email: "[email protected]"
|
--- password: "********"
|
--- type: "teacher"
See, I have added the type of the user as a property of your user object. Now, to get a user based on the email address, please use the following lines of code:
FirebaseFirestore rootRef = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
CollectionReference usersRef = rootRef.collection("users");
Query query = usersRef.whereEqualTo("email", "[email protected]")
query.get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<QuerySnapshot>() {
@Override
public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<QuerySnapshot> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
for (QueryDocumentSnapshot document : task.getResult()) {
String email = document.getString("email");
String password = document.getString("password");
mAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).addOnCompleteListener(/* ... */);
}
}
}
});
Once the user is authenticated, to redirect the user to the corresponding activity, please use the following lines of code:
String uid = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid();
usersRef.document(uid).get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<DocumentSnapshot>() {
@Override
public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<DocumentSnapshot> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
DocumentSnapshot document = task.getResult();
if (document.exists()) {
String type = document.getString("type");
if(type.equals("student")) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Student.class));
} else if (type.equals("teacher")) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Teacher.class));
}
}
}
}
});
