Unofficial Android Firebase Starter App

This is an app I built as a starting point for my own hacky projects.

It supports Android API level 19 and higher.

Features

MapsActivity

• Tap a map to set a marker, and send to Firebase.
• Tap a marker to clear it, and remove from Firebase.
• Markers added / moved / removed from Firebase on other clients appear in real time.

ChatActivity

• Type something and post to a chat room.
• Chat messages are posted to Firebase.
• Chat messages created on other clients are synchronized in real time.
