Add Objects to custom listView with Firebase

Question

I want to add an whole object to my listview using Firebase. Have been illustration this with a image because sometimes an image is just easier than text.

Firebase tutorials show how to return each child as an item and display it with Firebase UI and I want to almost do the same thing but the difference is that I want the whole object to be the child and the childs inside that object will be additional information for each listitem.

So in my image I have object Camping and the "Mountains", "Nature", "Place". In an custom listView I want the different values be set to textViews.to be the

This is how I get the child items with the Firebase UI:

protected void onStart(){
    super.onStart();
    Firebase items = rootRef.child("events");
    final FirebaseListAdapter<String> fireAdapter = new FirebaseListAdapter<String>(
            this,String.class,R.layout.list_item,items) {
        @Override
        protected void populateView(View view, String s, int i) {
            TextView testText = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
            testText.setText(s);
            trucks.add(s);
        }
    };
    listView.setAdapter(fireAdapter);
}

UPDATE

Here is code how I get mountains value to be set to a textview in my custom listview layout:

private void getUpdatesEvents(DataSnapshot dataSnapshotRoot){
    events.clear();
    for(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot : dataSnapshotRoot.getChildren()){
        Events e = new Events();
        e.setName(dataSnapshot.getValue(Events.class).getName());
        events.add(e.getName());
    }
    if(events.size()>0){
        ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,R.layout.list_item,R.id.textView2,events);
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }
    else{
        Toast.makeText(this,"There is no data",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

"and the childs...will be additional information for each listitem". Where will the information be displayed? On the list item itself or in an activity that opens when the list item is clicked? — Bill

You've to use Cardview layout instead of a Listview.
