Answer 1

You didn't setDate(), so getDate() is null.

                    // creating new HashMap
                    User map = new User();

                    // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
                    map.put(TAG_ID, id);
                    map.put(TAG_USER, user);
                    map.put(TAG_DATE, cdate);

I don't see any use of HashMap is any of the code. But for testing, just leave this here.

Add map.setName(user); map.setDate(cdate);

That's it.

Answer 2

Put this

Log.d(TAG, txtCreateDate == null ? "txtCreateDate is null" : usersList.get(position) == null ? "usersList.get(position) is null" : usersList.get(position).getDate() == null ? "usersList.get(position).getDate() is null" : "nothing is null");

Before

 txtCreateDate.setText(usersList.get(position).getDate().toString());

Also, don't you need to initialize your usersList?
