java - firebase database keys to arraylist

Question

i am trying to add the keys from a firebase database to an arraylist in my onDataChange method.

        mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("events");
    mDatabase.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
                @Override
                public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                    if(dataSnapshot.exists()) {
                        for (DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {

                            String event = snapshot.getKey();
                            Log.d("did it work??", event);
                            eventList.add(event);
                        }
                    }
                }
                @Override
                public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
                }
