Social Media app Using Firebase

In this series I will show you how you can create a  social media app using firebase . 

We will have cool features and you guys will learn a lot about firebase and after watching this series you will be able to create any kind of apps.

Firebase is a mobile platform that helps you quickly develop high-quality apps, grow your user base, and earn more money. Firebase is made up of complementary features that you can mix-and-match to fit your needs, with Google Analytics for Firebase at the core. You can explore and integrate Firebase services in your app directly from Android Studio using the Assistant window shown in figure 1.

First make sure you have installed Google Repository version 26 or higher, using the following steps:

Click Tools > SDK Manager.

Click the SDK Tools tab.

Check the Google Repository checkbox, and click OK.

Click OK to install.

Click Background to complete the installation in the background, or wait for the installation to complete and click Finish.

You can now open and use the Assistant window in Android Studio by following these steps:

Click Tools > Firebase to open the Assistant window.

Click to expand one of the listed features (for example, Analytics), then click the Get Started tutorial to connect to Firebase and add the necessary code to your app.

 Add Firebase using the Firebase console

Adding Firebase to your app involves tasks both in the Firebase console and in your open Android project (for example, you download Firebase config files from the console, then move them into your Android project).

Step 1: Create a Firebase project

Before you can add Firebase to your Android app, you need to create a Firebase project to connect to your Android app. Visit Understand Firebase Projects to learn more about Firebase projects.

Create a Firebase project

Step 2: Register your app with Firebase

After you have a Firebase project, you can add your Android app to it.

Visit Understand Firebase Projects to learn more about best practices and considerations for adding apps to a Firebase project, including how to handle multiple build variants.

Go to the Firebase console.

In the center of the project overview page, click the Android icon (plat_android) to launch the setup workflow.

If you've already added an app to your Firebase project, click Add app to display the platform options.

Enter your app's package name in the Android package name field.

What's a package name, and where do you find it?

Make sure to enter the package name that your app is actually using. The package name value is case-sensitive, and it cannot be changed for this Firebase Android app after it's registered with your Firebase project.

(Optional) Enter other app information: App nickname and Debug signing certificate SHA-1.

How are the App nickname and the Debug signing certificate SHA-1 used within Firebase?

Click Register app.

Step 3: Add a Firebase configuration file

Add the Firebase Android configuration file to your app:

Click Download google-services.json to obtain your Firebase Android config file (google-services.json).

Move your config file into the module (app-level) directory of your app.

What do you need to know about this config file?

To enable Firebase products in your app, add the google-services plugin to your Gradle files.

In your root-level (project-level) Gradle file (build.gradle), add rules to include the Google Services Gradle plugin. Check that you have Google's Maven repository, as well.

In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle), apply the Google Services Gradle plugin:

Step 4: Add Firebase SDKs to your app

To your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle), add the dependencies for the Firebase products that you want to use in your appp

Sync your app to ensure that all dependencies have the necessary versions.
