[Set Up Firebase Realtime Database]

Create Firebase Realtime Database

Step 1: Log in Google account, go to Firebase Console by browser

Step 2: Open the Firebase > Realtime Database (inside Build) >
Create Database > Set up location > Enable ‘Start in locked mode’

Step 3: Click inside Realtime Database > Rules > Edit rules, change
read & write to ‘true’ > Publish:

Connect to Firebase in Android Studio

Step 1: Tools> Firebase

Step 2: Realtime Database > Get started with Realtime Database

[KOTLIN]

Step 3: Connect to Firebase > Add the Realtime Database SDK to your
app

Access Firebase Authentication system in coding

Step 1: Make variable for Database (before OnCreate function)

private lateinit var database : DatabaseReference

Activity: MainActivity.kt

*Button functions which link to corresponding activity by using intent

 Prepared by Low Han Cheng

Activity: InsertData.kt

Step 1: Button & inputs:

a) Add button function
binding.btnInsert.setOnClickListener{}

b) Set up variables to store input data

val firstName = binding.etFirstName.text.toString()
val lastName = binding.etLastName.text.toString()
val age = binding.etAge.text.toString()
val userName = binding.etUserName.text.toString()

c) Create class file named as ‘User’, which contains the following properties:
data class User(
val firstName : String? = null,
val lastName : String? = null,
val age : String? = null,
val userName : String? = null){
}

d) Define ‘User’ variable which stored the inputs data that passed to the User data class
val User = User(firstName,lastName,age,userName)

Step 2: Insert data into Firebase database: Access this database path
a) Get instance of database and define the location
database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Users")

b) Insert data and define actions for success or fail task execution

Child path named with the Insert User class data (firstName, lastName, age, username)
username filled by user

database.child(userName).setValue(User).addOnSuccessListener {

binding.etFirstName.text.clear()
binding.etLastName.text.clear() If task
binding.etAge.text.clear()
execution
binding.etUserName.text.clear()
success
Toast.makeText(this,"Successfully Saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()

}.addOnFailureListener{ If task
Toast.makeText(this,"Failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show() execution
} fail

Activity: ReadData.kt

Step 1: Button & inputs:

a) Add button function
binding.btnRead.setOnClickListener{}

b) Set up variables to store username input data

val userName : String = binding.etUsername.text.toString()

c) Validate the input

if (userName.isNotEmpty()){
readData(userName)

}else{

Toast.makeText(this,"PLease enter the Username",

Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()

Step 2: Read data in Firebase database:

a) Make function for reading data
private fun readData(userName: String) {}

b) Read data and define actions for success or fail task execution
database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Users")
database.child(userName).get().addOnSuccessListener {

if (it.exists()){ Read data

Activity: UpdateData.kt [pt.1]

Step 1: Button & inputs:

a) Add button function
binding.btnUpdate.setOnClickListener{}

b) Set up variables to store input data and pass them to updateData function
val userName = binding.etUserName.text.toString()
val firstName = binding.etFirstName.text.toString()
val lastName = binding.etLastName.text.toString()
val age = binding.etAge.text.toString()

updateData(userName,firstName,lastName,age)

Step 2: Update data in Firebase database:

a) Make function for updating data
private fun updateData(userName: String, firstName: String, lastName:
String, age: String){}

b) ‘user’ variable which uses HashMap to pair up filled-in data with corresponding path
name in database
val user = mapOf<String,String>(
"firstName" to firstName,
"lastName" to lastName,
"age" to age
)

c) Update data and define actions for success or fail task execution
database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Users")
database.child(userName).updateChildren(user).addOnSuccessListener {

binding.etUserName.text.clear() Update data

binding.etFirstName.text.clear() If task
binding.etLastName.text.clear() execution
