java - FirebaseRemoteConfig getString is empty

Question

hey guys I was having a problem with firebase remote config basically the part I blurred out has a json array that looks like this:

 [
      {
        "owner": "1",
        "platform": "android"
      },
      {
        "owner": "2",
        "platform": "ios"
      }
 ]

and then in the "onCreate" method in java I used this code here:

mFirebaseRemoteConfig = FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance();
configSettings = new FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings.Builder()
    .setMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds(3600)
    .build();
mFirebaseRemoteConfig.setConfigSettingsAsync(configSettings);

and when I try to get the value as a string with this code:

String object = FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance().getString("mobile_database");

if I go in debug mode it shows that object = "" it's just an empty string is there anything that I am doing wrong?

I tried making research but I can't find anything useful?

Thanks in advance :)

PS (before someone marks it as duplicate these links did not help me :D

Is there a way to create an audience of developer builds?

getString Outside of a Context or Activity

Answer 1

You are not calling the fetch method so the RemoteConfig is falling back to your local config if you have set one. See how to fetch and activate values.
