Problem getting firebase dictionaries

Hello!

I'm having trouble getting a list of firebase dictionaries. Objective: List character skins that are stored in the "birds" attribute. Other attributes like "username" I get correctly. But I'm getting null from the birds attribute.

Follow my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. reference.Child("users")
2.             .Child(userId)
3.             .GetValueAsync()
4.             .ContinueWith(task =>
5.             {
6.  
7.             if (task.IsFaulted)
8.             {
9.                 Debug.LogError("CHECKUSER: TASK IS FAULTED");
10.             }
11.  
12.             if (task.IsCompleted)
13.             {
14.  
15.                 /******* Result ********/
16.                 DataSnapshot snapshot = task.Result;
17.                    
18.  
19.                 /******* Not find ********/
20.                 if (snapshot.GetValue(true) == null)
21.                 {
22.                     Debug.LogWarning("GetUser: the user do not exists.");
23.                     //callbackFunction(null);
24.  
25.                 }
26.                 /******* If find ********/
27.                 else
28.                 {
29.                         Debug.LogWarning("GetUser: the user has found.");
30.  
31.                     /******* JSON PARSE in USER class ********/
32.                    
33.                     string snapshotJson = snapshot.GetRawJsonValue();
34.                     User deserializedUser = new User();
35.  
36.                     MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(snapshotJson));
37.  
38.                     DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(deserializedUser.GetType());
39.                    
40.                     deserializedUser = ser.ReadObject(ms) as User;
41.                     ms.Close();
42.  
43.                     user = deserializedUser;
44.  
45.                    
46.                     Debug.Log(user.username);
47.                     Debug.Log(user.birds);
48.                     Debug.Log(user.birds.Count);
49.  
50. /* result :
51.  
52. TheDraker7
53. UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
54.  
55. System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object]
56. UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
57.  
58. 0
59. UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
60.  
61. */
62.  
63.                     }
64.                 }
65.             });

Follow the User class:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class User
2. {
3.     public string userId { get; set; }
4.     public string username { get; set; }
5.     public string highscore { get; set; }
6.     public int coins { get; set; }
7.  
8.     public IDictionary<string, object> birds;
9.     public List<string> weapons = new List<string>();
10.  
11.     public User()
12.     {
13.  
14.     }
15.  
16.     public User(string username, string highscore, int coins, IDictionary<string, object> birds, List<string> weapons)
17.     {
18.         this.username = username;
19.         this.highscore = highscore;
20.         this.coins = coins;
21.         this.birds = birds;
22.         // this.weapons = weapons;
23.     }

Follow the Firebase data I want to get:

{
"users":{
"teste":{
"birds":{
"0":"default",
"kongetoucan":"kongetoucan"
},
"coins":301,
"highscore":"3",
"userId":"teste",
"username":"TheDraker7"
}
}
}



Please, can you help me?

 

What class do you expect the deserializer to instatiate in case when target field type is interface? I think you should try with Dictionary instead.
