What is a GDG?
Google Developer Groups (GDGs) are for developers who are interested in Google's developer
technology; everything from the Android, App Engine, and Google Chrome platforms, to product APIs
like the Maps API, YouTube API and Google Calendar API.
A GDG can take many forms -- from just a few people getting together to watch our latest video, to
large gatherings with demos and tech talks, to events like code sprints and hackathons. However, at
the core, GDGs are focused on developers and technical content, and the core audience should be
developers.
#gdg_kharkiv_center
A GDG is
● Run by passionate individuals in the developer community
● A place to learn about Google Technologies and Tools for developers.
● A place to see what local companies and developers are doing with these
technologies
● Focused on developers and educational technical content
● Open to the public with a public membership
● A place to meet cool and smart people in tech :)
#gdg_kharkiv_center
A GDG is NOT
● Run by a corporation
● A place to hear a very salesy pitch at any time
● Focused on end users or consumer content
● A closed group

FirebaseOverview
#gdg_kharkiv_center
HistorySeptember 2011 - James Tamplin and Andrew Lee
founded Envolve, that provided developers an API
that let them integrate online chat into their
websites
April 2012 - Tamplin and Lee decided to separate
the chat system and the real-time architecture that
powered it, founding Firebase as a separate
company
21 October 2014 - Firebase announced it had been
acquired by Google
#gdg_kharkiv_center
History
February 16, 2016 - David East announced Firecasts
video series for Firebase developers
May 18, 2016 - James Tamplin and Francis Ma
present Firebase Overview on Google I/O ‘16
January 18, 2017 - Google announced that it signed
an agreement to acquire Fabric and Crashlytics from
Twitter, and that those services would join the
Firebase team.

AuthenticationBe together, not the same!
#gdg_kharkiv_center
Authentication
#gdg_kharkiv_center
Enable Authentication types
#gdg_kharkiv_center
@Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { …
if (requestCode == RC_SIGN_IN) { GoogleSignInResult result = Auth.GoogleSignInApi.getSignInResultFromIntent(data); if (result.isSuccess()) { // Google Sign In was successful, authenticate with Firebase GoogleSignInAccount account = result.getSignInAccount(); firebaseAuthWithGoogle(account); } else { // Google Sign In failed, update UI appropriately // ... } } }
Authentication (Google Sign In)
#gdg_kharkiv_center
AuthCredential credential = GoogleAuthProvider.getCredential(acct.getIdToken(), null);mAuth.signInWithCredential(credential) .addOnCompleteListener(this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() { @Override public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) { Log.d(TAG, "signInWithCredential:onComplete:" + task.isSuccessful());
// If sign in fails, display a message to the user. If sign in succeeds // the auth state listener will be notified and logic to handle the // signed in user can be handled in the listener. if (!task.isSuccessful()) { Log.w(TAG, "signInWithCredential", task.getException()); Toast.makeText(GoogleSignInActivity.this, "Authentication failed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } // ... } });
Authentication (Google Sign In)
#gdg_kharkiv_center
FirebaseAuth.getInstance().signOut();
Sign out

Rules
Firebase Database, pt1Basics
#gdg_kharkiv_center
With FirebaseDatabase
private DatabaseReference mDatabase;
// ...
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
Get Database reference
#gdg_kharkiv_center
public class BatteryStatus { public int level; public int status;
public BatteryStatus() { }
public BatteryStatus(int level, int status) { this.level = level; this.status = status; }}
Use POJOs or primitive types
#gdg_kharkiv_center
With FirebaseDatabase
BatteryStatus batteryStatus = new
BatteryStatus(lastBatteryLevel, lastIsChargingStatus);
mDatabase.child("battery_status").child("current_status").setVal
ue(batteryStatus);
mDatabase.child("voting").setValue(lastVote);
Write values
#gdg_kharkiv_center
Written values visible in console
#gdg_kharkiv_center
mDatabase.child("battery_status").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() { @Override public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { BatteryStatus batteryStatus1 = dataSnapshot.child("current_status").getValue(BatteryStatus.class); lastBatteryLevel = batteryStatus1.level; }
@Override public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
} });
Read values = listen to changes
#gdg_kharkiv_center
private void onPerformTransaction(DatabaseReference postRef) { postRef.runTransaction(new Transaction.Handler() { @Override public Transaction.Result doTransaction(MutableData mutableData) { Voting p = mutableData.getValue(Voting.class); if (p == null) { return Transaction.success(mutableData); }
p.setValue(true); // Set value and report transaction success mutableData.setValue(p); return Transaction.success(mutableData); }
@Override public void onComplete(DatabaseError databaseError, boolean b, DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { // Transaction completed } });}
Transactions
Firebase Database, pt2How to make queries in NoSQL
#gdg_kharkiv_center
It’s a JSON tree
{ "users": { "droid_ninja": { "name": "Android Ninja", "battery_status": { "74": true }, }, "raspberry_pike": { ... }, "fire_tamplin": { ... } }}
Structure data
#gdg_kharkiv_center
{ // This is a poorly nested data architecture, because iterating the children // of the "chats" node to get a list of conversation titles requires // potentially downloading hundreds of megabytes of messages "chats": { "one": { "title": "Phone battery discussions", "messages": { "m1": { "sender": "droid_ninja", "message": "Looks like Doze Mode doesn’t help" }, "m2": { ... }, // a very long list of messages } }, "two": { ... } }}
Avoid nesting
#gdg_kharkiv_center
// Conversation members are easily accessible // and stored by chat conversation ID "members": { // we'll talk about indices like this below "one": { "droid_ninja": true, "fire_tamplin": true, "raspbery_pike": true }, "two": { ... }, "three": { ... } },
Flatten data structures
#gdg_kharkiv_center
{ // Chats contains only meta info about each conversation // stored under the chats's unique ID "chats": { "one": { "title": "Battery talks", "lastMessage": "ninja: Battery exhausting", "timestamp": 1459361875666 }, "two": { ... }, "three": { ... } },
...
Flatten data structures
#gdg_kharkiv_center
// An index to track Ada's memberships{ "users": { "droid_ninja": { "name": "Droid Ninja", // Index Ada's groups in her profile "groups": { // the value here doesn't matter, just that the key exists "gdg": true, "geeks": true
"foreigners": false } }, ... },
Use an index
#gdg_kharkiv_center
"groups": { "gdg": { "name": "GDG", "members": { "droid_ninja": true, "fire_tamplin": true, "raspberry_pike": true } }, ... }}
Use an index
#gdg_kharkiv_center
firebase.database.Query class
#gdg_kharkiv_center
ChildEventListener childEventListener = new ChildEventListener() { @Override public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String previousChildName) {}
@Override public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String previousChildName) {}
@Override public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {}...};ref.addChildEventListener(childEventListener);
ListsJust push()
#gdg_kharkiv_center
Ordering
#gdg_kharkiv_center
// My top posts by number of starsString myUserId = getUid();Query myTopPostsQuery = databaseReference.child("user-posts").child(myUserId) .orderByChild("starCount");myTopPostsQuery.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() { // TODO: implement the ChildEventListener methods as documented above // ...});
Ordering
#gdg_kharkiv_center
Filtering
#gdg_kharkiv_center
/ Last 100 posts, these are automatically the 100 most recent// due to sorting by push() keysQuery recentPostsQuery = databaseReference.child("posts") .limitToFirst(100);
Limit
#gdg_kharkiv_center
// My top posts by number of starsmyTopPostsQuery.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() { @Override public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { for (DataSnapshot postSnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()) { // TODO: handle the post } }
@Override public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {}});
Filtering example
#gdg_kharkiv_center
Query biggest value of “weight”
ref
.orderByChild("weight")
.limitToLast(2)
.on("child_added", function(snapshot) {
console.log(snapshot.key());
});
More query examples
And more...There are a lot of tools in the box
