Get an overview of object-oriented programming in Kotlin for Android development, highlighting core concepts and how Kotlin supports object-oriented design in building apps.

Define a class as a template for objects, add attributes like name, major, and mobile, implement a show function, and instantiate the object in main to display its data.

Explore the difference between returnable and non-returnable functions, using void and unit, with examples in Java, C#, and C++. Learn how to return values and store results in variables.

Explore how constructors in Kotlin provide default values for object properties, showing how a bill type defaults to cash and can be overridden by a different value.

Explore function overloading in Kotlin, using the same name with different parameter types or counts, illustrated by find by barcode or name and sum with two or three parameters.

Learn how to implement inheritance in Kotlin by using a parent class, inheriting with a colon, and calling the display function to print hello from a and hello from b.

Explore overriding in a subclass that inherits from a superclass, using the override keyword to replace the base display method while optionally adding extra behavior via the subclass.

Learn how Kotlin uses a companion object to implement static-like variables, sharing Y across all class instances while instance fields like X remain unique per object, accessed as ClassName.Y.

Learn to create a new Android Studio project and connect it to Firebase, enable email and password authentication, create a Firebase project, and verify the connection in the Firebase console.

Enable Firebase authentication with email and password, then create an Android sign-up screen that collects email, password, and confirmation to register a new user via Firebase.

Learn to implement Firebase authentication with email and password in Android using Kotlin, including sign-up, login, error handling, and navigation from the login activity to the home activity.

Create and log in users with Firebase authentication using email and password, display the current user’s email on the home screen, and implement sign out with a dedicated button.

Implement Firebase authentication UI for Android with email, phone, and Google providers, configure providers, start sign-in activity, and handle results to navigate to the home screen.

Sign in with Google, email, or phone, then implement sign out and delete account actions on the home screen with on-click listeners to return to the main login activity.

Learn to build and test UI authentication with email, phone, and Google in a Kotlin Firebase app. Test sign-in flows, phone verification, and account deletion.

Learn how to integrate Facebook login into an Android app using Firebase authentication, including creating a Facebook app, configuring the Android platform, obtaining hash keys, and updating sdk versions.

Copy the two lines into the string resources and update the application id with your Facebook values; run the app to enable Facebook login.

Explore creating a real-time Firebase database, a NoSQL, hierarchical JSON-like store that supports real-time updates, with configurable read/write rules and optional authentication to secure access.

Build an Android Studio app to add and update courses in a real-time database using Firebase, saving course name and price under the courses node when you click save.

Read data from the Firebase Realtime Database into an Android Kotlin app by attaching a value event listener to the courses/cartland path and update the price in real time.

Read keys and values from Firebase Realtime Database and display them in a list view using a value event listener, a hash map, and an array adapter.

Create a Cloud Firestore collection for courses with documents and fields, and configure read/write rules. Learn about auto ID and adding documents before connecting your Android app.

Connect your Android app to Cloud Firestore, add Firestore library, and create a form with id, name, and price fields with an add button to store courses in a collection.

Add data to Cloud Firestore in an Android Kotlin app by creating a Cloud Firestore instance, building a hash map with id, name, price, and adding to the courses collection.

Learn how to set a custom document name in a Firestore collection by using set instead of add, using the course id as the document name.

Update the course price in Cloud Firestore by targeting the document id three in the corsets collection, applying a price field update, and using an onCompleteListener to confirm success.

Add a delete button to remove a Cloud Firestore document by its id, call delete on the document reference, and display a deleted confirmation when complete.

Learn to retrieve a Firestore document by id in an Android Kotlin app, showing name and price when found and displaying an error when the id does not exist.

Retrieve all documents from the courses collection in Firestore, extract names and prices, and populate a list view using an adapter in Kotlin for Android.

Get collection documents data at real time by switching from addOnCompleteListener to addSnapshotListener, using a querySnapshot to listen for added, deleted, or modified documents and updating the adapter via notifyDataSetChanged.

Retrieve collection documents with a price condition using where clauses to filter results, such as prices less than 45, and observe updates in real time.
