Prerequisites ✅

• Android Studio Hedgehog or newer
• Android device or emulator (API 24+) 📲
• A Firebase project with:
  • Email/Password sign‑in enabled
  • Realtime Database created and rules configured for authenticated users

Setup 🛠️

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/AasthathecoderX/Recipe_Manager.git
   cd Recipe_Manager
   

2. Configure Firebase

• Create a Firebase project and add an Android app with your package name.
• Download google-services.json and place it in app/src/main/.
• In the Firebase console, create a Realtime Database and note its URL.
• Ensure your database rules allow authenticated read/write for users/{uid} paths.

3. Update database URL

  FirebaseDatabase.getInstance(
"https://YOUR-PROJECT-ID-default-rtdb.asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app/"
)

4. Sync and run

• Open the project in Android Studio.
• Sync Gradle and run the app on a device or emulator ▶️.

Usage 👇

• Sign up / login:
  First, create an account in the Firebase console by registering your email and setting a password for this app’s project (Authentication → Users → Add user). ✍️
  Then use the same email and password to log in from the app. Optionally enable “Always remember me” to save credentials locally 💾.

• Manage folders:

• Tap the + button to create a new folder ➕.

• Use the search bar to filter folders by name in real time 🔎.

• Single tap a folder to open its recipes 📂.

• Double tap a folder name to rename it ✏️, then press Save.

• Long press a folder to reveal the delete icon and tap it to remove the folder 🗑️.
