Static Methods

fromProto(Firestore firestore, RunQueryRequest proto)

public static Query fromProto(Firestore firestore, RunQueryRequest proto)

Returns a Query instance that can be used to execute the provided RunQueryRequest.

Runtime metadata (as required for limitToLast() queries) is not restored and as such, the results for limitToLast() queries will be returned in the original backend order.

Parameters

Name	Description
firestore	`Firestore` a Firestore instance to apply the query to
proto	`RunQueryRequest` the serialized RunQueryRequest

Returns

Type	Description
Query	a Query instance that can be used to execute the RunQueryRequest

protected Query(FirestoreRpcContext<?> rpcContext, Query.QueryOptions queryOptions)

Parameters

Name	Description
rpcContext	`com.google.cloud.firestore.FirestoreRpcContext<?>`
queryOptions	`com.google.cloud.firestore.Query.QueryOptions`
