Android Question Anonymous login to Firebase for READ ONLY data

[trepdas]

hi.

for my project I need the app user to anonymously login in order to READ ONLY the project's database.
only after login he may modify this database.

I work in B4A.

I've been searching around at the last couple of days for solutions and got completely lost...

Can someone throw me a lead on how to start this ?



Thanks

READ ONLY the project's database

wich database? Firebase Reatimedatabase? SQLite?

Reatimedatabase

It is simple to do it with FirebaseStorage. You just need to set a rule that allows all to read: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebasestorage-simple-file-storage-backend.68350/

I'm not familiar with Firebase RealtimeDatabase.

yes it looks much simplier.
I think I will aim to storage files instead of handling database for now.
I will keep the database (file) structured as json for future use

Thank you !

You may also have a look at this: It is using Firebase to store the Location of Drivers.

Reatimedatabase

You can do this with the reatimedatabase too, both have the same rule system Storage and Realtime.

ok, after long hours of considering the pros and cons
(that included registering an apache sql , checking out xampp, playing around in coding csv to json, etc...
I think I'll go for the realtime...

if you can't beat them , join them

hmm..so Back to title ?

right...
so my next question would be :

with the firebaseauth lib, I couldn't find the code to anonymously login to firebase...
I understood that I would need the OKhttp library ....
