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.

Only RunQueryRequests that pertain to the same project as the Firestore instance can be deserialized.

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

Constructors

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

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

Parameters

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

Methods

addSnapshotListener(EventListener<QuerySnapshot> listener)

public ListenerRegistration addSnapshotListener(EventListener<QuerySnapshot> listener)

Starts listening to this query.

Parameter

Name	Description
`listener`	`EventListener<QuerySnapshot>` The event listener that will be called with the snapshots.

Returns

Type	Description
`ListenerRegistration`	A registration object that can be used to remove the listener.

addSnapshotListener(Executor executor, EventListener<QuerySnapshot> listener)

public ListenerRegistration addSnapshotListener(Executor executor, EventListener<QuerySnapshot> listener)

Starts listening to this query.

Parameters

Name	Description
`executor`	`Executor` The executor to use to call the listener.
`listener`	`EventListener<QuerySnapshot>` The event listener that will be called with the snapshots.

Returns

Type	Description
`ListenerRegistration`	A registration object that can be used to remove the listener.

count()

public AggregateQuery count()

Returns a query that counts the documents in the result set of this query.

The returned query, when executed, counts the documents in the result set of this query without actually downloading the documents.

Using the returned query to count the documents is efficient because only the final count, not the documents' data, is downloaded. The returned query can even count the documents if the result set would be prohibitively large to download entirely (e.g. thousands of documents).

Returns

Type	Description
`AggregateQuery`	a query that counts the documents in the result set of this query.

Returns

Type	Description
`Query`	The created Query.

`fieldValues`	`Object[]` The field values to end this query at, in order of the query's order by.

Returns

Type	Description
`Query`	The created Query.

endBefore(DocumentSnapshot snapshot)
