I have 2 'create event' activities, where a person can enter the details of an event and upload them to Firebase. The task seems pretty simple but for some reason Firebase Database is looping continuously and adding data unnecessarily. I want an Event node with each event details as child nodes 

CreateEvent2.java

```
package com.example.admin.college20;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class CreateEvent2 extends AppCompatActivity {

    private EditText mEventTitle, mEventLocation, mEventCategory;
    private Button mNextButton;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_create_event2);

        mEventTitle = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.event_title);
        mEventLocation = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.event_location);
        mEventCategory = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.event_category);
        mNextButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nextButton);

        final String event_title = mEventTitle.getText().toString().trim();
        final String event_location = mEventLocation.getText().toString().trim();
        final String event_category = mEventCategory.getText().toString().trim();

        mNextButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                 if(event_title !=null && event_location !=null && event_category!=null ){
                Intent i = new Intent(CreateEvent2.this, CreateEvent3.class);
                i.putExtra("title", event_title);
                i.putExtra("location", event_location);
                i.putExtra("category", event_category);
                startActivity(i);
            }
        }

        });

    }
}

```
