FIREBASE for ANDROID By: Dhrumil Shah
The Realtime Backend for your App
Creating an app shouldn’t require managing complex infrastructure.
THE FULL STACK
The full stack is never really that simple
… and neither is the client side
The user doesn’t care about your backend
THE USER EXPECTS Speed Offline Multi-platform Simple Authentication
FIREBASE The Realtime Backend for your App
THE FIREBASE BACKEND
None
CLOUD DATABASE NoSQL data-store Returns JSON from a RESTful API
None
REALTIME DATA Whenever data is updated in Firebase, it sends
the update down to every listening client
None
STORE DATA Firebase ref = new Firebase("https://<your-firebase-app>.firebaseio.com/message"); ref.setValue("All the things");
SYNC DATA Firebase ref = new Firebase("https://<your-firebase-app>.firebaseio.com/message"); ref.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot) { System.out.println(snapshot.getValue()); } @Override public void onCancelled(FirebaseError error) { } });
OFFLINE
INTERMITTENT OFFLINE What happens when you go through a tunnel?
Firebase clients store a local cache of your data. When the user goes offline, the app still works as expected with the local cache.
ENTENDED OFFLINE What happens when you go on a flight?
On mobile, Firebase persists data to a local store. The app will continue to work even across app restarts.
ONE LINE OF CODE Firebase.getDefaultConfig().setPersistenceEnabled(true);
None
Firebase supports several forms of authentication Email & Password Google
Twitter Facebook Github Anonymous … and even custom backends
AUTHENTICATION ref.authWithOAuthToken("google", "<OAuth Token>", new Firebase. AuthResultHandler() { @Override public
void onAuthenticated(AuthData authData) { // the Google user is now authenticated with your Firebase app } @Override public void onAuthenticationError(FirebaseError firebaseError) { // there was an error } });
None
SECURITY By default everyone can read and write { "rules":
{ ".read": true, ".write": true, } }
SECURITY Everyone can read, but no one can write {
"rules": { ".read": true, ".write": false, } }
SECURITY Secure specific parts of your firebase { "rules": {
".read": true, “message”: { ".write": false, } } }
