Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a cross-platform messaging solution that lets you reliably deliver messages at no cost.



You can send notification messages to drive user re-engagement and retention.



To write your Firebase Cloud Messaging Android client app, use the
FirebaseMessaging API and Android Studio 1.4 or higher with Gradle.



FCM clients require devices running Android 4.0 or higher that also have the Google Play Store app installed, or an emulator running Android 4.0 with Google APIs. Note that you are not limited to deploying your Android apps through Google Play Store.

Set up Firebase and the FCM SDK * If you haven't already,
add Firebase to your Android project.

* In Android Studio, add the FCM dependency to your app-level build.gradle file: implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.1.0'

Create a Service that extends FirebaseMessagingService.



Here is the full code of
FCMService.kt class FCMService : FirebaseMessagingService() { override fun ?

BottomSheetDialog is simple dialog styled as bottom sheet.



BottomSheetDialog implementation is quite simpler and easier than normal Dilaogs. You can just attach view for it and then display it.



Here is simple example. This tutorial is developed using kotlin.


MainActivity.kt val dialog = BottomSheetDialog(this) val bottomSheet = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.bottom_sheet, null) bottomSheet.buttonSubmit.setOnClickListener { dialog.dismiss() } dialog.setContentView(bottomSheet) dialog.show()
bottom_sheet.xml &lt?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt &ltandroid.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/bottomSheet" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="10dp"&gt &ltTextView ?

BottomSheetBehavior is An interaction behavior plugin for a child view of CoordinatorLayout to make it work as a bottom sheet. Bottom sheet is something like sliding a view from bottom to top, you may already seen this design in Google Play Music or VLC media player app.

Here is the simple example of using
BottomSheetBehavior in Android, code is developed in Kotlin.
MainActivity.kt

val bottomSheetBehavior = BottomSheetBehavior.from(bottomSheet) bottomSheetBehavior.setBottomSheetCallback(object : BottomSheetBehavior.BottomSheetCallback() { override fun onStateChanged(bottomSheet: View, newState: Int) { when (newState) { BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_EXPANDED -> { textBottom.text = getString(R.string.slide_down) //textFull.visibility = View.VISIBLE } BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_COLLAPSED -> { textBottom.text = getString(R.string.slide_up) //textFull.visibility = View.GONE ?

Sometime we need RecyclerView filled with dynamic row count. For example, some row has 3 columns, and some has 2 columns, and some should have only one column like that.

Here is the simple example of dynamic grid count using GridLayoutManager in RecyclerView.

val layoutManager = GridLayoutManager(this, 6) layoutManager.spanSizeLookup = object : GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() { override fun getSpanSize(position: Int): Int { when (position) { 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20 -> return 2 3, 4, 9, 10, 15, 16, 21, 22, 24, 25 -> return 3 5, 11, 17, 23 -> return 6 else -> return 2 } } } recyclerView.layoutManager = layoutManager

Thank You

Here is the simple example of maintaining database using
Firebase instead of
SQLite in
Kotlin Programming Language. Step 1. Login into
Firebase Console and create your project. Step 2. Navigate into Database and follow the steps given there. Step 3. Create your Android project and add the following classpath into root of the project's build.gradle.

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1' Step 4. And then add the following plugin into your module's build.gradle.

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' Step 5. And then add the following dependency into your module's build.gradle.

implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-firestore:3.3.1' That's all you wanted to access the Firebase's Firestore API in your project.

Here is the methods to create document(Like table in SQLite), Add data to document, edit data from document, delete data from document.

Add data to document using Hashmap. //Create employee using hashmap val employ?

Here is the simple example of Authentication process using
Firebase in
Kotlin Programming Language.



Step 1. Login into
Firebase Console and create your project.



Step 2. Navigate into Authentication and enable your preferred login methods.



Step 3. Create your Android project and add the following classpath into root of the project's build.gradle.

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1' Step 4. And then add the following plugin into your module's build.gradle.

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' Step 5. And then add the following dependency into your module's build.gradle.

implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.3.1' That's you wanted to access the Firebase's Authentication API in your project.

Here is the methods to Sign In, Sign Out and delete the account. Sign In private fun signIn() { // Choose authentication providers val providers = Arrays.asList(AuthUI.IdpConfig.GoogleBuilder().build(), ?

Hi Friends, Maybe you all heard/used text scanning using camera feature or extracting text from Image. But this sample made it very easy for you. You can made it in very simple line of code.



You can download the source code from
OCRSample and import the library as a module into your project.



Example usage :
MainActivity.java public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private TextView textView; private final int CAMERA_SCAN_TEXT = 0; private final int LOAD_IMAGE_RESULTS = 1; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); textView = findViewById(R.id.textView); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelect?
