    Comment on it

    Firebase is a real-time database. It is a NoSQL database which stores data as simple JSON. Benefit of using firebase is, it sync data by itself. Suppose if we update some data in the database then we will get listeners in our code to listen for the updated data. Same way it does for adding new data, removing of data.

    Create Firebase account :

    1. Open https://www.firebase.com/signup/

    2. Create app name and it will give you app url for your database having ".firebaseio.com" in the end.

    3. Download the library from https://www.firebase.com/docs/android/.

    Full source code is also attached as attachment. You can also find the firebase library under libs folder.

    In this Activity we have created a form to input 3 fields from user. On Add button click data will be added to firebase database. On Update button click data will be updated to firebase database. We have placed listeners in code, so if we make any changes in the database it will automatically read that data and will be display the changes made in the app.
