Android Studio and Firebase - "Message Board" Part 1

Creating the "Message Board" application using Android Studio and Firebase in the Kotlin programming language . This is the first part of the course. Firebase Real Time Database allows us not to worry about how to set up a server for a database on the cloud, but to worry only about our application. Using Firebase we write code only for our application, which can write and read to a database on the cloud in real time.

In this part we create a project, connect Firebaseto the project. We create Fragmentto select, edit, and mix photos. We create activities for editing ads, as well as classes for limiting the size of photos; we compress large photos from7mbto a smaller size using functions that we will create in lessons. Let's learn to work with Coroutine and the Picasso, PixImagePicker libraries. Let's learn to work with Jsone files. We add the ability to select a country and city from a special Json file. Create an AlertDialog to select the country and city. We learn to work with SearchView to search for cities and countries, we learn to use RecyclerView and RecyclerView Adapter. We create screen layouts and design the application. Let's learn how to create a NavigationDrawer menu. In this part we will prepare an application for further work with the database. The course is intended for beginners who have already installed Android Studioand have little skills in this area. I explain all the steps step by step. Based on this application, you can create your own application Blog, online store, food order and much more.
