Simple, real-time, one-to-one chat app for Android

FChat

This is a simple real time one-to-one chat app for android using firebase database. Users can login using their google accounts and have conversations with other registered members.

Before you use:

1. Create a firebase project in your firebase console
2. Enable google login for firebase in your firebase project (more http://www.androidhive.info/2016/06/android-getting-started-firebase-simple-login-registration-auth/)
3. Create SHA1 fingerprint in your system

Windows: keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android (From Java->jdk-bin)

Mac/Linux: keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

(For production, the json file is to be created from play store console)

4. Download and add google-services.json file in the app directory (more https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup)

For reference, see https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/firebase-android/#0

I have provided my google-services.json as a sample (DO NOT USE IT IN YOUR OWN PROJECT, IT WILL NOT WORK)
