Inconsistent behavior for Firebase Realtime Database

I try to update the data in Firebase Realtime Database through Android app. It will only occasionally work after I open the app and wait for some time. Most of the time it does not work. In my case, working mean the data is updated in cloud. I am wondering why it work sometimes and do not work sometimes. There is no error or warning in Logcat. Once it works, it will continue to work until the app is restarted.

DbHelper class

public class DbHelper {

    static final String TAG = "ttt";



    int count = 0;



    private static FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();

    private static DatabaseReference myRef = database.getReference("message");



    TextView tv;



    public DbHelper(final TextView tv){

        this.tv = tv;



        myRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {

            @Override

            public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

                String text = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);

                tv.setText(text);

                Log.d(TAG, "Value is: " + text);

            }



            @Override

            public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

                Log.w(TAG, "Failed to read value.", databaseError.toException());

            }

        });

    }



    public void testing(){

        myRef.setValue("test"+count++);

    }

}

MainActivity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    TextView textTesting;

    DbHelper dbHelper;



    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);



        textTesting = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_testing);

        dbHelper = new DbHelper(textTesting);



        FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);

        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override

            public void onClick(View view) {

                dbHelper.testing();

            }

        });

    }

}

Added

DatabaseReference connectedRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference(".info/connected");

connectedRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {

    @Override

    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot) {

        boolean connected = snapshot.getValue(Boolean.class);

        if (connected) {

            Log.d(TAG, "connected");

        } else {

            Log.d(TAG, "not connected");

        }

    }



    @Override

    public void onCancelled(DatabaseError error) {

        System.err.println("Listener was cancelled");

    }

});

What do you mean by "it does not work"? What happens? Do you see any errors or messages in Logcat?

Is there any reason why you put Firebase operations in a separate class instead of using instant creations?

@SamTew Do you have disk persistence ("offline capabilities") enabled? If the data is updated locally but never synced to Firebase: it sounds like a network issue.

@SamTew Check Logcat for any messages from Firebase such as D/FA: Connected to remote service to see if your app is actually connecting to the Firebase services.

@Grimthorr I found out the reason. The DNS used by ISP is the problem. Change to Google DNS solved my problem
