Insert Data Into The Firebase Database In Android Apps

Introduction

Android is one of the most popular operating systems for mobile. Firebase is the most popular backend for Android. Firebase is the emerging technology in mobile Application development. Firebase is more secure and it is a Cloud based platform. It provides the loT of Services to make your Application very efficient in a secure manner. It is easy to track Crash Report and maintain your data in the Cloud. I will show you how to insert the data into Firebase database in Android apps, using an Android Studio.

Requirements

  • Android Studio.
  • Firebase account.
  • Little bit XML and Java knowledge.
  • Android emulator (or) an Android mobile.
  • Stable internet connection.
  • Download link (Android Studio)

Steps should be followed are given below.

Carefully follow my steps to insert the data into Firebase database in Android apps, using an Android Studio and I have included the source code given below.

Step 1

Open an Android Studio and start the new project.

Step 2

Put the Application name and the company domain. If you wish to use C++ to code the project, mark the Include C++ support, followed by clicking Next.

Android

Step 3

Select an Android minimum SDK. Afterwards, you need to choose the minimum SDK. It will show an approximate percentage of people, using that SDK, followed by clicking Next.

Step 4

Choose Empty activity, followed by clicking Next.

Step 5

Put the activity name and layout name. Android Studio basically takes Java class name is what you provide for the activity name, and click Finish.

Android

Step 6

Connect your Application to your Firebase account.

Step 7

This app contains the insert data module, so you need to connect to the real-time database. Click Add the real-time database to your app.

Android

Step 8

It will make some changes to your gradle module. Click Accept changes.

Step 9

Go to activity_main.xml, followed by clicking Text bottom. This XML file contains the designing code for an Android app. In the activity_main.xml, copy and paste the code given below.

Activity_main.xml code
