Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}
	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"
        
    

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]
        
    

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.jernkuan:FirebaseUI-Android:'
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.jernkuan</groupId>
	    <artifactId>FirebaseUI-Android</artifactId>
	    <version></version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.jernkuan" % "FirebaseUI-Android" % ""
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.jernkuan/FirebaseUI-Android ""]]

FirebaseUI for Android — UI Bindings for Firebase

Build Status

FirebaseUI is an open-source library for Android that allows you to quickly connect common UI elements to Firebase APIs like the Realtime Database or Firebase Authentication.

A compatible FirebaseUI client is also available for iOS.

Installation

FirebaseUI is published as a collection of libraries separated by the Firebase API they target. Each FirebaseUI library has a transitive dependency on the appropriate Firebase SDK so there is no need to include those separately in your app.

In your app/build.gradle file add a dependency on one of the FirebaseUI libraries.

dependencies {
    // FirebaseUI Database only
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.2.0'

    // FirebaseUI Auth only
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:1.2.0'

    // FirebaseUI Storage only
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:1.2.0'

    // Single target that includes all FirebaseUI libraries above
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:1.2.0'
}

If you're including the firebase-ui-auth dependency, there's a little more setup required.

After the project is synchronized, we're ready to start using Firebase functionality in our app.

Compatibility with Firebase / Google Play Services Libraries

FirebaseUI libraries have the following transitive dependencies on the Firebase SDK:

firebase-ui-auth
|--- com.google.firebase:firebase-auth
|--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth

firebase-ui-database
|--- com.google.firebase:firebase-database

firebase-ui-storage
|--- com.google.firebase:firebase-storage

Each version of FirebaseUI has dependency on a fixed version of these libraries, defined as the variable firebase_version in common/constants.gradle. If you are using any dependencies in your app of the form compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-*:x.y.z' or compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-*:x.y.z' you need to make sure that you use the same version that your chosen version of FirebaseUI requires.

For convenience, here are some examples:

| FirebaseUI Version | Firebase/Play Services Version | |--------------------|--------------------------------| | 1.2.0 | 10.2.0 | | 1.1.1 | 10.0.0 or 10.0.1 | | 1.0.1 | 10.0.0 or 10.0.1 | | 1.0.0 | 9.8.0 | | 0.6.2 | 9.8.0 | | 0.6.1 | 9.6.1 | | 0.6.0 | 9.6.0 | | 0.5.3 | 9.4.0 | | 0.4.4 | 9.4.0 | | 0.4.3 | 9.2.1 | | 0.4.2 | 9.2.0 | | 0.4.1 | 9.0.2 | | 0.4.0 | 9.0.0 |

Usage

Sample App

There is a sample app in the app/ directory that demonstrates most of the features of FirebaseUI. Load the project in Android Studio and run it on your Android device to see a demonstration.

Before you can run the sample app, you must create a project in the Firebase console. Add an Android app to the project, and copy the generated google-services.json file into the app/ directory. Also enable anonymous authentication for the Firebase project, since some components of the sample app requires it.

If you encounter a version incompatibility error between Android Studio and Gradle while trying to run the sample app, try disabling the Instant Run feature of Android Studio. Alternatively, update Android Studio and Gradle to their latest versions.

Contributing

Installing locally

You can download FirebaseUI and install it locally by cloning this repository and running:

./gradlew :library:prepareArtifacts :library:publishAllToMavenLocal

Deployment

To deploy FirebaseUI to Bintray

  1. Set BINTRAY_USER and BINTRAY_KEY in your environment. You must be a member of the firebaseui Bintray organization.
  2. Run ./gradlew clean :library:prepareArtifacts :library:bintrayUploadAll
  3. Go to the Bintray dashboard and click 'Publish'.
    1. In Bintray click the 'Maven Central' tab and publish the release.

Tag a release on GitHub

  • Ensure that all your changes are on master and that your local build is on master
  • Ensure that the correct version number is in common/constants.gradle

Contributor License Agreements

We'd love to accept your sample apps and patches! Before we can take them, we have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.

Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement (CLA).

  • If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an individual CLA.
  • If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA.

Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll be able to accept your pull requests.

Contribution Process

  1. Submit an issue describing your proposed change to the repo in question.
  2. The repo owner will respond to your issue promptly.
  3. If your proposed change is accepted, and you haven't already done so, sign a Contributor License Agreement (see details above).
  4. Fork the desired repo, develop and test your code changes.
  5. Ensure that your code adheres to the existing style of the library to which you are contributing.
  6. Ensure that your code has an appropriate set of unit tests which all pass.
  7. Submit a pull request and cc @puf or @samtstern
