Chat is the style of young people today. Before the chat most people prefer to SMS. But the feature of SMS is very limited, this is what developers think the apps to create an application similar to SMS, but has features that are far superior. And in the end emerged Android Chatting Applications Diverse as it is today.

This application I created to show the concept of sending messages using chat applications and the use of two firebase features of the features NoSQL realtime database and Email Authentication

Setting In Firebase Console.

Go to https://console.firebase.google.com and make an account to gain access to their console. After you gain access to the console you can start by creating your first project.

The next step:

Give the package name of your project

Give your project id

Select your country

after that, go to your project dashboard. Find the Auth and click get started. Go to set up sign in method and choose Email & Password and enable it.

Setup your firebase database rules like this

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "auth != null",
    ".write": "auth != null"
  }
}

Now it's time to continue the configuration to our Android process using android studio. This time I will create a simple application that contains firebase authentication and realtime database chat. Login Password Registration, Forgot Password, Change Email, Change Password Sign Out, Submit chat and history chat.
