Android Example Firebase Database working example

Hi,

I decided to post this working example in the hopes that it can be useful to some people, and also maybe eventually someone will update it. I find database one of the most useful things in Firebase and maybe you do too. After getting frustrated with the almost working firebase realtime database, I put this patchwork together. Although it is not realtime, it does work normally. Anyways hope you like it.

This example allows you to login with facebook, and google, and post and get from the database.

This uses REST operations to post and put and get from the firebase db. You must be logged in to post. I know you can do anonymous login with authex, but it is not implemented here. I used @fredo s custom http and codes for the REST operations. THANKS FREDO!!

Before using this, you must integrate firebase, and implement facebook and/or google login. You will need atleast one of the two login methods working. Google is easier.
Firebase integration: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/integrating-firebase-services.67692/
Google login: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebaseauth-authenticate-your-users.67875/
Facebook integration: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/facebook-extends-firebaseauth-to-support-facebook.67954/

If you want to put to the DB instead of posting, then just change the button command to put instead of post, and it works.

One way to make it update similar to realtime is via notifications (ie. when a user posts something, he broadcasts notification too all users who then refresh their database), but notification is not implemented here.

****DONT DO THIS ON AN ACTIVE DB IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. A PUT COMMAND CAN EASE ALL YOUR DATA. CREATE A NEW DB FOR YOURSELF, OR KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING***

I need this demo to work in order to be able to adapt it to an application that I have previously developed but that uses text messages (SMS). I add captures of my problems.

Thanks for the example. Is there a way to retrieve all the logged values of the field using GET? I have a field called as "DATA" which is getting appended using an ESP8266. Now my requirement is to retrieve ALL the values.

Hi,

Hi !

I saw the example.. Sorry if I sound too basic.

When you say 'get from the database' are you meaning 'querying the database' .. If I were to query the database, can you tell me how to do the following :

1) Create the database and table in Firebase.
2) Ensure that anybody can log into the database
3) Logging into Firebase
4) Fire a query and display the output in say a webview control.

Thanks.
