Unable to retrieve data from firebase realtime database on to recyclerview

Ravi Malik :

I am trying to retrieve data from firebase realtime database on to my recyclerview . Earlier i was able to retrieve data on to my recyclerview but don't know what happened it suddenly started showing me error. I get error in this line

User user=snapshot.getValue(User.class);

And this error in logcat window

com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseException: Class com.shivam.chatapp2.Model.User does not define a no-argument constructor. If you are using ProGuard, make sure these constructors are not stripped. at com.google.firebase.database.core.utilities.encoding.CustomClassMapper$BeanMapper.deserialize
