Firebase Chatroom

Introduction

Note: This lab should be done in pairs

In this lab you will be working in pairs to create a chatroom app using Firebase. The chatroom consists of a chat window showing all messages, an edit text to type in a message, and a send button to send the message.

When you send the message, it should immediately be synced to all users through Firebase.

Hint: You can use custom classes when storing and retrieving data in Firebase.
