I need a easy example for start connecting my database in cloud and do tests whit this library

Thanks

Firebase did changed the use of the old support Library and switched to use now AndroidX. The newest Artifacts are using AndroidX

I guess you need to use AndroidX to be able to use it. I can be wrong though (don´t know).

The error suggests a problem in the definition of fields set in AndroidX but you are using Android Support Library.

I don´t really know how to solve it as i am using AndroidX in my SDK.

Edit to add: Have you tried to run the Jetifiertool? Did it changes anything after you run it? Run jetifiertool, jetify all libraries, reload the librarys, clean project, try again.

For reference:

Google Play services and Firebase migrating to AndroidX

Later this year, the Google Play services and Firebase SDKs will migrate from the Android Support libraries to androidx-packaged library artifacts. We are targeting this change for June/July of 2019. This will not only make our SDKs better, but make it easier for you to use the latest Jetpack...

I put my json and name of packet of my project cloud in Firestore, is this ok?

The jsonfile you downloaded from Firebase console? Yes, it must be named google-services.json and placed in the project folder.

 

[cas6678]

ok, I`ll try whit android x follow this https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/androidx-sdk.107236/

Now:

1. Open Tools - B4A Sdk manager.
OK
2. Install all recommended items. This will make the switch to AndroidX. You can always go back to the previous SDK. All is
OK
3. Open Tools - Jetifier.
OK
4. Click on Jetify. It is possible that the jetifier will fail to jetify a few libraries. In most cases you can ignore it as those libraries don't need to be jetified.
OK. Just one no. jython.standalone-2.5.3.jar
5. Clean the project (Ctrl + P)
OK
6. Run your project. The compilation dialog will tell you which SDK was used:
BUT, (Android Support Library). I expected (AndroidX SDK)



?

 

[DonManfred]

BUT, (Android Support Library). I expected (AndroidX SDK)

try to create a empty file name [sdkpath]\extras\b4a_remote\androidx.txt

 

[cas6678]

I have followed your instructions but I must confess that I do not know what we have done....but work

The manifest is from your example, no modifications

compared to your post #7 reference, saw one diference...

'CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseFirestore.Firebase)

I've tried both and the result is the same, don't work

 

[Erel]

Can you upload the generated Objects\AndroidManifest.xml file?

 

[cas6678]

Attached

 

[DonManfred]

Your manifest does not have a Firestore-Registrar

1. FirebaseAuth 1.06
2. FirebaseNotification 1.24
3. FirebaseFirestore 0.67

to be sure:

4. FirebaseAnalytics version?

 

[cas6678]

I don't understand "Your manifest does not have a Firestore-Registrar" I am using your example, the one that came to me next to the libraries: FirestoreEx

I have version 1.1 of FirebaseAnalytics, but it is not called in your example.

Maybe the example I'm using is too complicated (at least for me)

Ist there a simpler example so I can connect to my database in the cloud? to then see the power of the @DonManfred library?

 

[DonManfred]

I have version 1.1 of FirebaseAnalytics, but it is not called in your example

It is used here:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)

FirebaseAnalytics 1.12 i do have.

I hope it is ok for @Erel to post it here

also used here and this is the important one

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)

For you manifest and the missing Firestoreregistrar:

It is this part which is missing in your manifest

<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.firestore.FirestoreRegistrar"
android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar"/>

Try again with firebaseanalytic 1.12 please.

Sorry, i named the zip wrong. It contains 1.12

 

[DonManfred]

Ist there a simpler example so I can connect to my database in the cloud? to then see the power of the @DonManfred library?

the problematic part is the first setup. Once it is setup correctly we can go further.
But the setup must be done successfully first.

In fact we came further by every answer step by step.

I´m positive that FirebaseAnalytics 1.12 will bring you further now ;-)

Please be patient; i´m there to help you till it runs!

 

[DonManfred]

You do not need to add Firebaseanalytics lib to your project.
The new version must be present in your internal libraryfolder when compiling. That´s all...

 

[cas6678]

ok, now I understand. I didn't know why you wanted something I didn't use

now FirebaseAnalytics 1.12

and now the manifest have the mssing part. Attached.

but not work,

[Erel]

Many things are missing from the manifest file.

Looks like you are missing this line:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)

I recommend you to create a small project and upload it.

 

[cas6678]

I recommend you to create a small project and upload it.

Yes, I prefer, but I need to have an elementary base code to start. Unless it allows me to connect to my database and write and / or read something

I only found https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/chargeable-firebase-cloud-firestore.105067/ and it is with that example that I started working.

Looks like you are missing this line:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)

You're right, but I did it following the instructions of the thread:

Setup Firebase Firestore:
- Replace this line from the firebaseintegrationtutorial

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)

with this one

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseFirestore.Firebase)

now I reversed the action (manifest) and work. I have seen that the app has made changes to my database. However, if you can tell me a simple project as a basic example, I think it would be easier. Because I think it will be difficult for me to understand each of the lines of this code.

But it work

Thanks.

 

[DonManfred]

You're right, but I did it following the instructions of the thread

Above i posted my ACTUAL Manifest which does NOT contain this old code from the example from 2017!

I told you that this part is the interesting one. You answered with a new manifest.xml and i was expecting you DID used the code i posted.
Seems you did not :-(

But it work

This is how we could start now. . But surely in a new thread!

BTW There is NO WAY to give any congrete Example as it all depends on the Databasestructure used.

The example already shows
- how to read values
- how to create Values in a Collection.

There is not much to say more.

If you have any specific question then please start a new thread for any question you have. i´ll try to give you an answer there.

At least you now have it working ;-)

 

[cas6678]

I told you that this part is the interesting one. You answered with a new manifest.xml and i was expecting you DID used the code i posted.
Seems you did not :-(

I did it both ways, but none worked because I had more problems, the library I didn't have.

You're right, it works. I will try to understand the code and ask in another thread.

I already have to entertain a few days



Thanks @DonManfred and @Erel
