Creating a succesful app is still too hard, developers time and resources are limited and it doesnt make sense for developers to be managing dozen different tools for a App.Hence To accelerate app making let me introduce Firebase - A cross platform backend as a service.

With help of a challenge app(case study Github-link : https://github.com/Rishabhk07/challenge) where people can challenge each other to complete different tasks and upload their videos or photos with the task completed on their Challenge Feed, i will give you an insight on different aspects of Firebase like

• Database
• Authentication
• Storage
• Cloud Messaging
• Dyanamic Links
• Analytics
• Benefits and drawbacks of Firebase

Outline

• Analysing your App with Firebase Analytics

• With just 2 lines of code and a config file you can get Firebase Analytics, which gives an overview of all the key metrics of your app like

• number of Active user from montly weekly daily

• revenues from in app purchases

• how often users are coming back to your app

• where users are coming from

• Events in Analytics

• Audiences with different parameteres

• Attribution in Firebase

• Funnels in Firebase

• Creating & Managing Firebase Database

• Cloud hosted nosql Database

• Real time Data - no need of ‘pull to refresh’

• how Database is structured in Firebase - key value pair with hierarchical structure

• mapping schemaless JSON into JAVA classes

• benefits & drawbacks of Nested JSON data like scalibility issues

• Nested Datastructure vs Flatten Datastructure

• using FirebaseUI-Databse Library to Fetch data easily from Firebase

• Offline Capabilities of Firebase Database

• Authenticate your User

• Email & passwords Authentication

• Social Providers

• Facebook Login

• Google Sign-in

• twitter

• github

• runs on same Technology that powers google’s Authentication system

• using FirebaseUI-Authentication Library to implement Login flow with best practises

• Store your Photos, audios, Videos with Firebase Storage

• store photos like profile pics.

• Retrieve photos

• Cloud Messaging

• GCM is now FCM

• sending notification without writing a single line of code

• sending notifications to Analytics Audience

• scheduling in notifications

• sending notification when app is background & foreground

• sending notification to a single user

• Dyanamic Links

• what are dyanamic links and its use cases

Requirements

A Laptop with Android Studio installed
