What is it?

This repository is a collection of Android sample apps, each one showing how to use a single Firebase product. The samples cover Admob, Firebase AI Logic, Analytics, App Distribution, Auth, Remote Config, Crashlytics, Realtime Database, Data Connect, Firestore, Cloud Functions, In-App Messaging, Cloud Messaging, Performance Monitoring and Cloud Storage.

Each sample is an Android Studio project that can run on a physical device or emulator. To run one, you create a Firebase project in the Firebase console, register the sample's applicationId as the Android package name, and place the downloaded google-services.json file in the app/ directory. Several samples can share one Firebase project.

The samples are meant as starting points for developers integrating Firebase into their own Android apps, and each subfolder includes its own README with setup steps.

  • 01Separate sample app for each major Firebase product
  • 02Runnable as Android Studio projects on devices or emulators
  • 03Shared Firebase project supported across multiple samples
