This is a sample chat application that I am currently using to explore concepts in the Android SDK.
The goal of OpenChat is to make me a better Android developer who uses best practices in design, architecture and coding 😄. Here are some of the features to expect:
- Authentication via providers such as Google, Facebook, Github, e.t.c as well as email/phone number combination with password
- Public and private channels. Private channels will allow one on one chat between chat participants
- Sending and receiving of file attachments
- Chat notifications
Features Implemented:
- Authentication via Google
- Messages sync via Firebase Realtime Database
- Single public channel
- Sending of notifications to devices via Firebase Cloud Messaging
