ShoppingList++

ShoppingList++ is the companion Android app for the Udacity course Firebase Essentials : Build a Shopping List App.

The course covers everything you need to know to incorporate the Firebase into an Android App.

For an explanation of how to use this repository, please refer to the Using ShoppingList++ Github Repository document and The Github Code & Resources document.

##Seeing Errors?

As mistakes in the original repository are fixed, the code will be rebased and re-uploaded here. The good news is if students discover errors or optimizations, the code will be updated. The unfortunate side effect is that this will destroy Github forks and stars as well as require the code to be re-downloaded to get the newest updates. So my humble suggestion is to NOT fork or star this repository. Instead, you can bookmark this page. If you are not checking out branches and instead making the app the thorough way you can check out the change log to see what was fixed. If you're working through the fast way you can re-clone the repository.

shoppinglistplusplus's Issues

Missing google-services.json

On Lesson 1 i try to compile this code but it failed because google-services.json file is missing.
i've try to find it inside the project but i can not see it everywhere. Where is it?

Thanks for help.

Missing gradle.properties file

The "Connect to Firebase" tutorial in Lesson 1 mentions that I should paste my Firebase root URL in the project properties. However, in the latest git repo there seems to be no such file included in the project. As a result I cannot add my URL and I get the error below when importing the project into Android Studio.

Error:(29, 0) Could not find property 'UniqueFirebaseRootUrl' on com.android.build.gradle.AppExtension_Decorated@2c58abb4.
Open File

I tried adding a file with this name manually from Android Studio and from the file system (and declaring the variable that way) but this does not work.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for any help!

Branch 3.12 use_owner_data-solution: encoded email is used to reference a user

When setting the title of the toolbar. The firebase reference in the Main Activity references the user by their encoded email rather than the user id.

Obsolete Methods error

After setting up project in Android Studio When I try and login or Signup into the app it always shows the following error:

FirebaseError: Projects created at console.firebase.google.com must use the new Firebase Authentication SDKs available from firebase.google.com/docs/auth/

Do I need to update each and every method attached with the logging and signing up in ?

Error signing in

Some or the other err comes up when I try to run the app.

No License Mentioned

I wanted to inquire about the lack of an OSS license for the code in this repo. I'd like to include some of this code in a series of blog posts I intend to write about re-architecting an android application, but want to make sure I'm not violating your rights to this code.

Clarification needed on Project's License.

Some License must be added to the project, for making it clear how other people can use it i.e. terms of use.

Branch 3.16 owner_list_permission-solution - encoded email is used rather than uid

To check if a user is a owner of a list, the encoded email is being used here rather than the uid.
