Firebase Android Open Source Development This repository contains a subset of the Firebase Android SDK source. It currently includes the following Firebase libraries, and some of their dependencies: firebase-abt firebase-appdistribution firebase-common firebase-common-ktx firebase-crashlytics firebase-crashlytics-ktx firebase-crashlytics-ndk firebase-database firebase-database-ktx firebase-database-collection firebase-datatransport firebase-firestore firebase-firestore-ktx firebase-functions firebase-functions-ktx firebase-inappmessaging firebase-inappmessaging-ktx firebase-inappmessaging-display firebase-inappmessaging-display-ktx firebase-messaging firebase-messaging-directboot firebase-perf firebase-perf-ktx firebase-remote-config firebase-remote-config-ktx firebase-storage firebase-storage-ktx Firebase is an app development platform with tools to help you build, grow and monetize your app. More information about Firebase can be found at https://firebase.google.com. Table of contents Getting Started Testing Unit Testing Integration Testing Proguarding APIs used via reflection APIs intended for developer consumption APIs intended for other Firebase SDKs Publishing Dependencies Commands Code Formatting Contributing Getting Started Install the latest Android Studio (should be 3.0.1 or later) Clone the repo (git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:firebase/firebase-android-sdk.git) When cloning the repo, it is important to get the submodules as well. If you have already cloned the repo without the submodules, you can update the submodules by running git submodule update --init --recursive. Import the firebase-android-sdk gradle project into Android Studio using the Import project(Gradle, Eclipse ADT, etc.) option. firebase-crashlytics-ndk must be built with NDK 21. See firebase-crashlytics-ndk for more details. Testing Firebase Android libraries exercise all three types of tests recommended by the Android Testing Pyramid. Depending on the requirements of the specific project, some or all of these tests may be used to support changes. ⚠️ Running tests with errorprone To run with errorprone add withErrorProne to the command line, e.g. ./gradlew :<firebase-project>:check withErrorProne. Unit Testing These are tests that run on your machine's local Java Virtual Machine (JVM). At runtime, these tests are executed against a modified version of android.jar where all final modifiers have been stripped off. This lets us sandbox behaviors at desired places and use popular mocking libraries. Unit tests can be executed on the command line by running ./gradlew :<firebase-project>:check Integration Testing These are tests that run on a hardware device or emulator. These tests have access to Instrumentation APIs, give you access to information such as the Android Context. In Firebase, instrumentation tests are used at different capacities by different projects. Some tests may exercise device capabilities, while stubbing any calls to the backend, while some others may call out to nightly backend builds to ensure distributed API compatibility. Along with Espresso, they are also used to test projects that have UI components. Project Setup Before you can run integration tests, you need to add a google-services.json file to the root of your checkout. You can use the google-services.json from any project that includes an Android App, though you'll likely want one that's separate from any production data you have because our tests write random data. If you don't have a suitable testing project already: Open the Firebase console If you don't yet have a project you want to use for testing, create one. Add an Android app to the project Give the app any package name you like. Download the resulting google-services.json file and put it in the root of your checkout. Running Integration Tests on Local Emulator Integration tests can be executed on the command line by running ./gradlew :<firebase-project>:connectedCheck Running Integration Tests on Firebase Test Lab You need additional setup for this to work: gcloud needs to be installed on local machine gcloud needs to be configured with a project that has billing enabled gcloud needs to be authenticated with credentials that have 'Firebase Test Lab Admin' role Integration tests can be executed on the command line by running ./gradlew :<firebase-project>:deviceCheck This will execute tests on devices that are configured per project, if nothing is configured for the project, the tests will run on model=panther,version=33,locale=en,orientation=portrait. Projects can be configured in the following way: firebaseTestLab { // to get a list of available devices execute `gcloud firebase test android models list` devices = [ '<device1>', '<device2>', ] } Annotations Firebase SDKs use some special annotations for tooling purposes. @Keep APIs that need to be preserved up until the app's runtime can be annotated with @Keep. The @Keep annotation is blessed to be honored by android's default proguard configuration. A common use for this annotation is because of reflection. These APIs should be generally discouraged, because they can't be proguarded. @KeepForSdk APIs that are intended to be used by Firebase SDKs should be annotated with @KeepForSdk. The key benefit here is that the annotation is blessed to throw linter errors on Android Studio if used by the developer from a non firebase package, thereby providing a valuable guard rail. @PublicApi We annotate APIs that meant to be used by developers with @PublicAPI. This annotation will be used by tooling to help inform the version bump (major, minor, patch) that is required for the next release. Proguarding Firebase SDKs do not proguard themselves, but support proguarding. Firebase SDKs themselves are proguard friendly, but the dependencies of Firebase SDKs may not be. Proguard config In addition to preguard.txt, projects declare an additional set of proguard rules in a proguard.txt that are honored by the developer's app while building the app's proguarded apk. This file typically contains the keep rules that need to be honored during the app' s proguarding phase. As a best practice, these explicit rules should be scoped to only libraries whose source code is outside the firebase-android-sdk codebase making annotation based approaches insufficient.The combination of keep rules resulting from the annotations, the preguard.txt and the proguard.txt collectively determine the APIs that are preserved at runtime. Publishing Firebase is published as a collection of libraries each of which either represents a top level product, or contains shared functionality used by one or more projects. The projects are published as managed maven artifacts available at Google's Maven Repository. This section helps reason about how developers may make changes to firebase projects and have their apps depend on the modified versions of Firebase. Dependencies Any dependencies, within the projects, or outside of Firebase are encoded as maven dependencies into the pom file that accompanies the published artifact. This allows the developer's build system (typically Gradle) to build a dependency graph and select the dependencies using its own resolution strategy Commands For more advanced use cases where developers wish to make changes to a project, but have transitive dependencies point to publicly released versions, individual projects may be published as follows. # e.g. to publish Firestore and Functions ./gradlew -PprojectsToPublish="firebase-firestore,firebase-functions" \ publishReleasingLibrariesToMavenLocal Developers may take a dependency on these locally published versions by adding the mavenLocal() repository to your repositories block in your app module's build.gradle. Code Formatting Java Java code in this repo is formatted with the google-java-format tool. You can enable this formatting in Android Studio by downloading and installing the google-java-format plugin. The plugin is disabled by default, but the repo contains configuration information and links to additional plugins. To run formatting on your entire project you can run ./gradlew :<firebase-project>:googleJavaFormat To auto-format, just run ./gradlew :<firebase-project>:gJf Kotlin Kotlin code in this repo is formatted with the ktfmt tool. You can enable this formatting in Android Studio by downloading and installing the ktfmt plugin. Enable the plugin in Preferences | Editor | ktfmt Settings. and set code style to Google (internal). To run formatting on your entire project you can run ./gradlew :<firebase-project>:ktfmtFormat Contributing We love contributions! Please read our contribution guidelines to get started.
