Firebase data - error converting value

I have posted question regarding firebase two days ago:
Android Firebase - add authenticated user into database
I got help that I needed and that solved first problem. But now I have a new problem. I was googling for quite some time, there are some posts about this issue but nothing solved my problem. I din't want to spam the previous question so I posted a new one.
When I try reading inserted data from the firebase database I get this error:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Error converting value
"test#user.com" to type 'carServiceApp.My_Classes.Account'. Path
'email', line 1, position 24.
Here is the code:
private async Task LoadData()
{
FirebaseUser users = FirebaseAuth.GetInstance(loginActivity.app).CurrentUser;
id = users.Uid;
var firebase = new FirebaseClient(loginActivity.FirebaseURL);
var items = await firebase.Child("users").Child(id).OnceAsync<Account>();
foreach (var item in items)
{
Account user = new Account();
user.uid = item.Object.uid;
user.name = item.Object.name;
user.lastName = item.Object.lastName;
user.phone = item.Object.phone;
user.email = item.Object.email;
userInput_ime.Text = user.name;
userInput_prezime.Text = user.lastName;
userInput_broj.Text = user.phone;
userInput_email.Text = user.email;
}
}
This is firebase data:
-users
-jwAP2dYNzJeiF3QlmEIEQoruUkO2
email: "test#user.com"
lastName: "user"
name: "test"
phone: "12421"
uid: "jwAP2dYNzJeiF3QlmEIEQoruUkO2"
Interesting thing is that when I try reading data with this:
var items = await firebase.Child("users").OnceAsync<Account>();
This works fine (I get last inserted user) . But when I add 'uid' node, then I get error. I was trying to solve this for quite some time but I just can't figure it out. I guess that there is no problem with the account class because it works in the case without uid node but doesn't work when another child() method is added.
Other information (Account class code and the way of storing that data into the database) you can see in the link at the top.
Note: I tried adding constructor in Account class but that doesn't help.

Ok, so I didn't exactly find a solution for this problem nor do I really understand why was this happening but I have found a workaround. I believe it's not ideal solution and that it does not fix existing problem. Or maybe it was problem with me not understanding firebase logic but here is what I came up with.
So, considering that it was all working fine if I didn't specify that uid node it was obvious there was some problem with class and data in firebase, matching problem I guess. Anyway, I decided to have that last uid node so I can have specific user selected and also to have the same data in firebase as it was in case where it was all working. So, this is how I have inserted data into firebase:
var item = firebase.Child("users").Child(id).PostAsync<Account>(user);
This created users node and child node. And PostAsync method created one more node with random key.
So when I tried reading with this:
var data = await firebase.Child("users").Child(id).OnceAsync<Account>();
It worked without problem. Now firebase data looks like this:
users
JPKdQbwcXbhBatZ2ihBNLRauhV83
-LCXyLpvdfQ448KOPKUp
email: "spider#man.com"
lastName: "man"
name: "spider"
phone: "14412"
uid: "JPKdQbwcXbhBatZ2ihBNLRauhV83"
There is a bit of redundancy, I basically have two ID's, but I don't understand how to create my class so I can get that data any other way so I made it this way. It works fine.
If anyone has better solution, I will gladly change it. Cheers

This was suppose to be a comment, but this is just suppose to be an addition for anyone that needs help with this issue.
I know that this answer has been out there for a while but this still seems to be a running structural quirk with Firebase and the usage of their rules. I ran into this issue with a complex structure that looked kind of like this
-Orders
-9876trfghji (User ID)
-0
BusnID: "ty890oihg"
Name: "Some Name"
AddOns: Object
ItemData: Object(containing other objects)
UserID: "9876trfghji"
Note: In this case as well as the case with cordas, you will see that both of the final objects has a UserID or uid.
I also was running into the issue of class de-serialization of the object without having the actual User ID in the objects data when it was being sent back to the device.
The reason that you have a “redundant” usage of the user id is for a security measure with the Firebase rules. The first UserID with the structure above you are able to control the access to the information based off of the users id without having to have an extra validation clause in the rules. Currently as of this post the the rule below would protect the data based on the User ID.
“Orders” : {
"$uid":{
".read":"auth != null",
".write":"auth.uid == $uid"
}
}
this allows the user with only the authorized user id to write content but anyone that has valid credentials can view the data.
The second User ID has to be placed in the object because without it you would not be able to do a standard cast to the object because your object would not have all of the data it would need to create the object. Regardless of if you are using a package like GoogleGson or Newtonsoft.Json the object still isn't full.
There is how ever a work around for this problem besides re-entering the User ID into the object. With the object that I have above I decided to just re-enter the User ID in my personal code to save the time and hassle of manual creation.
Using the Firebase.Database NuGet package you can manually create the object. Here is an example of the object in cordas problem
public static void GetUser_Firebase(User user, FirebaseApp app)
{
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.GetInstance(app);
DatabaseReference reference = database.GetReference($"/users/{user.UserID}");
//"Using for getting firebase information", $"/users/{user.UserID}"
reference.AddListenerForSingleValueEvent(new UserInfo_DataValue());
}
class UserInfo_DataValue : Java.Lang.Object, IValueEventListener
{
private string ID;
public UserInfo_DataValue(string uid)
{
this.ID = uid;
}
public void OnCancelled(DatabaseError error)
{
//"Failed To Get User Information For User "
}
public void OnDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot)
{
Dictionary<string, string> Map = new Dictionary<string, string>();
var items = snapshot.Children?.ToEnumerable<DataSnapshot>(); // using Linq
foreach(DataSnapshot item in items)
{
try
{
Map.Add(item.Key, item.Value.ToString()); // item.value is a Java.Lang.Object
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//"EXCEPTION WITH DICTIONARY MAP"
}
}
User toReturn = new User();
toReturn.UserID this.ID;
foreach (var item in Map)
{
switch (item.Key)
{
case "email":
toReturn.email = item.Value;
break;
case "lastName":
toReturn.lastName = item.Value;
break;
case "name":
toReturn.name = item.Value;
break;
case "phone":
toReturn.phone = item.Value;
break;
}
}
}
}
Update
There is something that I would like to mention that I left out when I was writing this and that is the usage of Firebase.Database NuGet package with the Gson NuGet package and the Newtonsoft.Json Library
If you decide to use the FIrebase.Database library just know that you will be working very close with the Java.Lang and the Java.Util libraries. Objects like Java.Lang.Object can be very difficult and time consuming to write the code needed to de-serialize the data, but don't fear Gson is here!
The Gson package if you allow it can take a large load of work off of your hands for class de-serialization if you allow it. Gson is a library that will allow you to do Java.Lang.Obj to json string de-serialization. I know it seems weird, hand it an object get back a string sounds counter intuitive I know but just bear with me.
Here is an example of how to us the Gson Library with the object in cordas problem.
public static void Get_User(User user, FirebaseApp app)
{
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.GetInstance(app);
DatabaseReference reference = database.GetReference($"Users/{user.UserID}");
reference.AddListenerForSingleValueEvent(new User_DataValue(user, app));
//$"Trying to make call for user orders Users/{user.UserID}");
}
class User_DataValue : Java.Lang.Object, IValueEventListener
{
private User User;
private FirebaseApp app;
public UserOrderID_Init_DataValue(User user, FirebaseApp app)
{
this.User = user;
this.app = app;
}
public void OnCancelled(DatabaseError error)
{
//$"Failed To Get User Orders {error.Message}");
}
public void OnDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot)
{
//"Data received for user orders");
var gson = new GsonBuilder().SetPrettyPrinting().Create();
var json = gson.ToJson(snapshot.Value); // Gson extention method obj -> string
Formatted_Output("Data received for user order json ", json);
User user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<User>(json); //Newtonsoft.Json extention method string -> object
//now the user is a fully populated object with very little work
}
For anyone that might run into this in the future I hope that this helps

Modification in SAP cloud application

I have an issue adding some code in SAP cloud application.
I have to retrieve the ID of the employee that creates an order in C4C and print it in a camp z (or "label") called CreatedECC. When an emp creates this order a form is created where you can see emp name, date, delivery status, creation date, created by, etc... here is where the label was added for me to retrieve the userID and print it. Im not sure if someone can help me with the code... there is so much i can share.
Im new to javascript (and SAP cloud app) so i dont entirely understand the code and that´s why i need help
The code is:
import ABSL;
import AP.CRM.Global;
var query_mapping;
var sel_param_mapping;
var result_mapping;
this.IsConsistent = true;
var i = 0;
foreach (var item in this.Item)
{
if (!item.Plant.IsInitial())
{
item.Plant = item.Plant.ToUpperCase();
query_mapping = Plants.QueryByElements;
sel_param_mapping = query_mapping.CreateSelectionParams();
sel_param_mapping.Add(query_mapping.PlantID, "I", "EQ", item.Plant);
result_mapping = query_mapping.Execute(sel_param_mapping);
if (!result_mapping.GetFirst().IsSet())
{
raise MsgNoFoundPlantID.Create("E", item.Plant);
i = 1;
}
}
}
if (i == 1)
{
this.IsConsistent = false;
}
I spoke with a partner via skype (i think he helped with the development) and he told me the steps i need to follow wich are:
Create the patch in the corresponding development. Done.
Add a reference object and select the customizing camp that was created for you
Add your code so that a variable would be equal to the value Context.GetCurrentIdentityUUID. Through that value you get the userID you need to print in the customizing camp... And that is all

C# google contact api deleted contact

currently I´m writing on a outlook plugin for syncing goolge contacts with outlook but I have to cover some special case:
When a contact gets deleted on google side, my application detects the missing contact and creates a new contact based on the contact info from the outlook one.
Is there a way to get an event or history from google that tells me a user deleted this contact(s)?
Edit 1:
Here is my code how I´m accessing the contacts (what is working FINE):
public GoogleAccessor()
{
var parameters = new OAuth2Parameters()
{
ClientId = CLIENTID,
ClientSecret = CLIENTSECRET,
RedirectUri = REDIRECTURI,
Scope = SCOPES
};
string url = OAuthUtil.CreateOAuth2AuthorizationUrl(parameters);
//An own webbrowser for processing the access tokens
IAuthorizationCodeProvider authcodeProvider = new Presentation.BrowserAuthorizationCodeProvider(new Presentation.BrowserAuthentificatorVM());
parameters.AccessCode = authcodeProvider.GetAuthorizationCode(url);
if(parameters.AccessCode == null)
throw new GoogleOAuthException("AccesCode returned 'null' and failed!");
OAuthUtil.GetAccessToken(parameters);
this._contactsRequest = new ContactsRequest(new RequestSettings(APPLICATIONNAME, parameters) {AutoPaging = true});
}
public IList<IContact> GetAllMappedContacts()
{
Feed<Google.Contacts.Contact> f = _contactsRequest.GetContacts();
this._feedUri = new Uri(f.AtomFeed.Feed);
var photoList = new List<PhotoObject>();
foreach (var entry in f.Entries)
{
var photoObject = GetContactPhoto(entry);
if(photoObject != null)
photoList.Add(photoObject);
}
_googleMapper = new GoogleMapper(f.Entries);
return _googleMapper.MapToLocalContacts();;
}

The thing about syncing in general is that syncing is normally meant to work in one direction.
Source Data -> Data Flow -> Received Data.
In this instance, Outlook is your source data and Google is your received data. All information needs to come from your source. Since this is an Outlook add-in you are creating my suggestion would be to add a button to your add-in ribbon. You can call the button whatever ever you like (maybe "dontSyncButton"), but it's purpose is going to be Categorization of your contact.
Make it so that that when a contact is selected and then the button is clicked, the contact is given a special categorization (perhaps "Dont Sync").
Now give some logic to your code that executes the sync, and have that logic decide whether to sync the contact. Also, give some logic to tell the program to delete the contact out of Google for you if the contacts contains the special category. Semi-Pseudo Code below:
if(contact.Categories.ToString() == "Dont Sync")
{
//Don't Sync Contact
If(googleContact.Exists())
{
//Delete contact from Google if it exist
googleContact.Delete();
}
}
else
{
//Sync Contact
}
It would be nice if Outlook had many modifiable properties that weren't visible to users, but since it does not this is really one of the best options I can think of. I do this to sync contacts from a shared Outlook folder to personal ones and it has worked well so far.
Hope this helps!

NetSuite custom record search through suiteTalk using C#

We are having an issue with searching a custom record through SuiteTalk. Below is a sample of what we are calling. The issue we are having is in trying to set up the search using the internalId of the record. The issue here lies in in our initial development account the internal id of this custom record is 482 but when we deployed it through the our bundle the record was assigned with the internal Id of 314. It would stand to reason that this internal id is not static in a site per site install so we wondered what property to set up to reference the custom record. When we made the record we assigned its “scriptId’ to be 'customrecord_myCustomRecord' but through suitetalk we do not have a “scriptId”. What is the best way for us to allow for this code to work in all environments and not a specific one? And if so, could you give an example of how it might be used.
Code (C#) that we are attempting to make the call from. We are using the 2013.2 endpoints at this time.
private SearchResult NetSuite_getPackageContentsCustomRecord(string sParentRef)
{
List<object> PackageSearchResults = new List<object>();
CustomRecord custRec = new CustomRecord();
CustomRecordSearch customRecordSearch = new CustomRecordSearch();
SearchMultiSelectCustomField searchFilter1 = new SearchMultiSelectCustomField();
searchFilter1.internalId = "customrecord_myCustomRecord_sublist";
searchFilter1.#operator = SearchMultiSelectFieldOperator.anyOf;
searchFilter1.operatorSpecified = true;
ListOrRecordRef lRecordRef = new ListOrRecordRef();
lRecordRef.internalId = sParentRef;
searchFilter1.searchValue = new ListOrRecordRef[] { lRecordRef };
CustomRecordSearchBasic customRecordBasic = new CustomRecordSearchBasic();
customRecordBasic.recType = new RecordRef();
customRecordBasic.recType.internalId = "314"; // "482"; //THIS LINE IS GIVING US THE TROUBLE
//customRecordBasic.recType.name = "customrecord_myCustomRecord";
customRecordBasic.customFieldList = new SearchCustomField[] { searchFilter1 };
customRecordSearch.basic = customRecordBasic;
// Search for the customer entity
SearchResult results = _service.search(customRecordSearch);
return results;
}

I searched all over for a solution to avoid hardcoding internalId's. Even NetSuite support failed to give me a solution. Finally I stumbled upon a solution in NetSuite's knowledgebase, getCustomizationId.
This returns the internalId, scriptId and name for all customRecord's (or customRecordType's in NetSuite terms! Which is what made it hard to find.)
public string GetCustomizationId(string scriptId)
{
// Perform getCustomizationId on custom record type
CustomizationType ct = new CustomizationType();
ct.getCustomizationTypeSpecified = true;
ct.getCustomizationType = GetCustomizationType.customRecordType;
// Retrieve active custom record type IDs. The includeInactives param is set to false.
GetCustomizationIdResult getCustIdResult = _service.getCustomizationId(ct, false);
foreach (var customizationRef in getCustIdResult.customizationRefList)
{
if (customizationRef.scriptId == scriptId) return customizationRef.internalId;
}
return null;
}

you can make the internalid as an external property so that you can change it according to environment.
The internalId will be changed only when you install first time into an environment. when you deploy it into that environment, the internalid will not change with the future deployments unless you choose Add/Rename option during deployment.

How to get all the users in Zendesk

I have created users using CreateOrUpdateUser() method but i was unable to fetch all the users from zendesk. I am getting null for "oListUser" also I tried to fetch user list for Organization but for that also i am getting null.Any help would be appreciated. There is no issue with the connection.
Code:
ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi oZen = new ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi("https://waresolution.zendesk.com", "j#se.com", "87ggh76IO");
List<User> oListUser = oZen.GetUsers();
User oUsers = new ZenDeskApi.Model.User();
oUsers.Email = "r#se.com";
oUsers.IsVerified = true;
oUsers.Name = "R r";
oUsers..........// Other properties
int a = oZen.CreateOrUpdateUser(oUsers);
List<Organization> oOrg = oZen.GetOgranizations();
foreach (var orgItem in oOrg)
{
int orgId = orgItem.Id;
}

Take a look at this zendesk api client for C#.net on Github. See the JUSTEAT blog for more details. You can use this client to get all users like this:
Create a client:
IZendeskClient client = new ZendeskClient(
new Uri("my-zendesk-api-host-endpoint"),
"my-zendesk-username",
"my-zendesk-token"
);
Then you can use the Search resource to search all users:
var result = client.Search.Find(new ZendeskQuery<User>().WithCustomFilter("y", "x"));
You can download the code as a Nuget here

I am using ZendeskApi_v2 and I am able to get all the users using api as follows:
var userList = api.Users.GetAllUsers();
Here userList is GroupUserReponse.I doubt whether we have any method GetUsers().Atleast its not available in the version which I am using.Once you get the response you can iterate through it.
I see that this question is related to ZenDeskApi which is available at this location:
https://github.com/eneifert/ZenDeskApi.
Sorry,I have not worked on it and tried this.

Not sure if you got a response to this but for anyone else looking for info on the API:
Try instead of:
ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi oZen = new ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi("https://waresolution.zendesk.com", "j#se.com", "87ggh76IO");
ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi oZen = new ZenDeskApi("https://waresolution.zendesk.com", "j#se.com", "87ggh76IO");
Also, to get a paginated list of 100 users instead of the group response, just call:
var zendeskUsers = oZen.Users.GetAllUsers().Users;
