Firebase snapshot getValue could not pars int suddenly - firebase

Question

I hade a strange happening today with my Firebase project.
Suddenly the
AddressChatMessage chatMessage = snapshot.getValue(AddressChatMessage.class);
parsed everything ok for the AddressChatMessage except for one int.
Took me 2 hour until i tried this, setting the field to public
public int type;
Note I use this code for weeks without problem and today Android studio made some core updated to 2.3.2 and maybe that trigger this strange event.
Here´s the AddressChatMessage.java nothing strange except that the public int type cannot be private, if it is, it will be zero, that too is strange, usually Firebase give out a logcat warning when pojo parsing fails. I have 10 other modell classes like this with plenty of int´s

return getType() == ChatAdapter.MessageType.NORMAL.ordinal();

#Exclude

When cleaning the code using Lint. Lint suggested changes like "This can be private instead of public" - I accidentally set the getType() to private access.
