Connect your Android Things with Firebase (DevFestMN)

Wanna build an IoT device? If you have Android experience, it's easy with Android Things! How do you keep it connected with other Things and devices? With Firebase, of course. In this session, we'll take a look at how some Firebase platform products can be used to build a connected home appliance along with a companion Android app. It'll make use of Cloud Storage, Firestore, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Messaging to keep everything connected.

  8. @CodingDoug You can use the Android Camera2 API! goo.gl/mSDPm3 Issues

    I discovered: • In Developer Preview 0.5: TextureView not supported • Ported to use SurfaceView instead • Removed code that depends on autofocus • In Developer Preview 0.6: TextureView now supported! https://goo.gl/XqTdXM ◦ But it’s slow without a GPU Capturing the picture
  9. @CodingDoug Uploading to Cloud Storage private fun uploadFile(file: File) {

    val sdf = SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss", Locale.US) val storagePath = "/pictures/${sdf.format(Date())}.jpg" val ref = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference(storagePath) ref.putFile(Uri.fromFile(file)) .addOnSuccessListener(this) { Log.i(TAG, "Picture uploaded”) } .addOnFailureListener(this) { e -> Log.i(TAG, "Upload failed", e) } .addOnCompleteListener(this) { file.delete() } }

  16. @CodingDoug Handle incoming ring data message (background) class OnRingMessagingService :

    FirebaseMessagingService() { override fun onMessageReceived(remoteMessage: RemoteMessage) { super.onMessageReceived(remoteMessage) if (remoteMessage.data.containsKey("ring_id")) { val ringId = remoteMessage.data["ring_id"] val intent = Intent(this, AnswerRingActivity::class.java) intent.putExtra("ring_id", ringId) startActivity(intent) } else { Log.w(TAG, "Data message received without ring_id") } } }
  17. @CodingDoug Handle incoming ring (Activity) override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) val extras = intent.extras if (extras == null) { Log.e(TAG, "ring_id was not provided") finish() return } val ringId = extras.getString("ring_id") if (ringId.isEmpty()) { Log.e(TAG, "ring_id was empty") finish() return } // display it... }

  31. @CodingDoug Cloud Storage security rules — universal read and write

    service firebase.storage { match /b/{bucket}/o { match /{allPaths=**} { allow read, write: if true; } } }
  32. @CodingDoug Firestore security rules — universal read and write service

    cloud.firestore { match /databases/{database}/documents { match /{document=**} { allow read, write: if true; } } }
  33. @CodingDoug • Yeah, it’s easy to get started without security

    • All reads and writes should require user authentication (minimally) • Also consider data validation rules • See also for Storage: https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/security/ • See also for Firestore: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/security/get-started What to do about security?
  34. @CodingDoug App login with FirebaseUI — launch UI flow findViewById<Button>(R.id.btn_sign_in).setOnClickListener

    { startActivityForResult( AuthUI.getInstance() .createSignInIntentBuilder() .setAvailableProviders(listOf(AuthUI.IdpConfig.GoogleBuilder().build())) .build(), RC_SIGN_IN) }
  35. @CodingDoug App login with FirebaseUI — handle login results override

    fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data) if (requestCode == RC_SIGN_IN) { val response = IdpResponse.fromResultIntent(data) if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) { // handle login } } }
  36. @CodingDoug • UI for various provider logins aren’t supported on

    Android Things • Android Thing may not even have a screen! • Anonymous login works, not a great solution • Best to get identified user credentials for a real login How does a Thing get logged in?
  37. @CodingDoug • Nearby Messages ◦ Secure pub/sub messaging model ◦

    Selects from Wifi, BT, BLE ◦ Didn’t work with Android Things 0.6.1 ☹ • Nearby Connections ◦ Peer-to-peer networking, high bandwidth, low latency ◦ Selects from Wifi, BT, BLE Nearby API — https://developers.google.com/nearby/
  38. @CodingDoug Too much code to show here! 1. Both: Check

    for ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission 2. Thing: Begin “advertising” with P2P_CLUSTER strategy 3. App: Begin “discovering” with P2P_CLUSTER strategy 4. Both: Connect to peer 5. Both: Send/receive Google Auth token 6. Both: Disconnect 7. Thing: Sign in with token using Google Auth and Firebase Auth APIs Use Nearby Connections to share a token (or anything)
  39. @CodingDoug Log in Thing with Google and Firebase APIs private

    fun trySignIn() { Log.d(TAG, "Signing in with token " + token) val credential = GoogleAuthProvider.getCredential(token, null) FirebaseAuth.getInstance().signInWithCredential(credential) .addOnSuccessListener(this, { result -> val user = result.user Log.d(TAG, "signInWithCredential ${user.displayName} ${user.email}") finish() }) .addOnFailureListener(this, { e -> Log.e(TAG, "signInWithCredential onFailure", e) }) }

  41. @CodingDoug • Code cleanup • Better UI • Productization -

    currently only good for hobbyists ◦ Can't expect a typical customer to manage a Firebase project ◦ Currently no way to programmatically create a project ◦ Restructure Firestore and Storage for multi-customer tenancy ◦ Can’t use FCM topics securely - need to use device tokens This project needs…
  42. @CodingDoug • Better security ◦ Allow users to confirm Nearby

    Connections auth tokens (like BT pairing) ◦ Tighter security rules for both Storage and Firestore This project needs…
  43. @CodingDoug • Facial sentiment detection via Cloud Functions • Voice

    intercom (AudioTrack, AudioRecord) ◦ Add speech to text with Google Cloud Speech API • “Digital keys” ◦ Guest app ◦ QR codes Some ideas
