Firebase is a famous product of Google which is used by so many developers to add backend functionality for their website as well as apps. The Firebase will make your job really easier for the backend database and handling the database. In this article, we will take a look at the implementation of the Firebase Realtime Database in Android. In this article, we will be adding an Email and password authentication inside our app and along with that, we will be performing the CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations inside our application using the Firebase Realtime Database.

What we will be building in this article?  

In this article, we will be building a simple Android Application in which we will be firstly authenticating the user with their email and password. After that, we will display the list of courses that are available on Geeks for Geeks in the recycler view. We will be able to perform CRUD operations on these courses. Below is the video in which we will get to see what we are going to build in this article. 

Step by Step Implementation

Step 1: Create a new Project 

To create a new project in Android Studio please refer to How to Create/Start a New Project in Android Studio. Note that select Java as the programming language.

Step 2: Connect your app to Firebase

After creating a new project navigate to the Tools option on the top bar. Inside that click on Firebase. After clicking on Firebase, you can get to see the right column mentioned below in the screenshot.

Inside that column Navigate to Firebase Realtime Database. Click on that option and you will get to see two options on Connect app to Firebase and Add Firebase Realtime Database to your app. Click on Connect now and your app will be connected to Firebase. After that click on the second option and now your App is connected to Firebase.  

After connecting your app to Firebase you will get to see the below screen.  

After that verify that dependency for the Firebase Realtime database has been added to our Gradle file. Now navigate to the app > Gradle Scripts and inside that file check whether the below dependency is added or not. If the below dependency is not added in your build.gradle file. Add the below dependency in the dependencies section. Below is the complete dependencies section in which there are dependencies for authentication as well as the database. 

dependencies {
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
    // dependency for picasso for loading image from url 
    implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.4'
    // dependency for firebase database. 
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:20.0.0'
    implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:28.2.1')
    // dependency for firebase authentication. 
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
}

After adding this dependency sync your project and now we are ready for creating our app. If you want to know more about connecting your app to Firebase. Refer to this article to get in detail about Adding Firebase to Android App.  

Step 3: Creating 4 different empty activities

Navigate to the app > Your app’s package name > Right-click on it > New > Activity > Select Empty Activity and Create a New Activity. Below is the name for the four different activities which we have to pass while creating new activities. 

  • AddCourseActivity: This activity we will use for adding a new Course.
  • EditCourseActivity: This activity will be used to edit our course as well as delete our course.
  • LoginActivity: This activity will be used for Login purposes for existing user login.
  • RegisterActivity: This activity is used for the registration of new Users.

MainActivity.java file will be already present in which we will be displaying the list of courses in RecyclerView

Step 4: Working with AndroidManifest.xml file

Navigate to app > AndroidManifest.xml file and add internet permissions to it. Below is the complete code for the AndroidManifest.xml file. Inside this file, we are also changing our launcher activity to Login Activity. Comments are added in the code to get to know in more detail. 

XML




    package="com.gtappdevelopers.firebasecrudapp">
 
    <!--permissions for internet-->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
 
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.FirebaseCrudApp">
        <activity
            android:name=".EditCourseActivity"
            android:label="Edit Course" />
        <activity
            android:name=".AddCourseActivity"
            android:label="Add Course" />
        <activity
            android:name=".RegisterActivity"
            android:label="Register" />
        <!--login activity is set as launcher activity-->
        <activity android:name=".LoginActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
 
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity" />
    </application>
 
</manifest>


 Step 5: Updating colors.xml file

Navigate to the app > res > values > colors.xml and add the below colors to it. 

XML




<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    <color name="purple_200">#296D98</color>
    <color name="purple_500">#296D98</color>
    <color name="purple_700">#296D98</color>
    <color name="teal_200">#FF03DAC5</color>
    <color name="teal_700">#FF018786</color>
    <color name="black">#FF000000</color>
    <color name="white">#FFFFFFFF</color>
 
    <color name="black_shade_1">#0e2433</color>

    <color name="dark_blue_shade_2">#17388E</color>
    <color name="light_blue_shade">#12B2E6</color>
 
</resources>


 
Step 6: Updating our themes.xml file 

Navigate to the app > res > values > themes.xml and add the below code to it. 

XML




<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="Theme.FirebaseCrudApp" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Primary brand color. -->

        android:shape="ring"
        android:thicknessRatio="8"
        android:useLevel="false">
 
        <!--set the size of the shape-->
        <size
            android:width="76dip"
