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

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

    @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.
