  • UI Components:
    • XML Layouts – Traditional Android layouts for building user interfaces.
    • RecyclerView – For handling dynamic lists of data efficiently.
  • Data Handling:
    • Firebase Realtime Database – For storing and syncing app data in real-time.
    • Firebase Cloud Firestore – For scalable, cloud-based data storage.
  • State Management:
    • LiveData – For managing UI-related data in a lifecycle-conscious way.
    • ViewModel – For storing UI-related data that survives configuration changes.

Firebase Services

  • Firebase Authentication – For user authentication with email, password, Google, GitHub, and password recovery.
  • Firebase Realtime Database – For real-time data sync and storage.
  • Firebase Storage – For storing user-generated content such as images.
