I’m not gonna build the whole thing for you buddy, I’ll help you with starting but, not doing the whole thing for you.

You don’t have to do the whole thing, then what’s the fun for me? I have no idea how to do the build.gradle and dependencies thingy :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Neither do I. I think to import libraries though, you can do this.

@UsesLibraries(libraries = "firebase.jar")

So now your extension at the top should look like this.

@DesignerComponent(version = 0,
                   description = "",
                   category = ComponentCategory.EXTENSION,
                   nonVisible = true,
                   iconName = "websiteToIcon")
@SimpleObject(external = true)
@UsesLibraries(libraries = "firebase.jar")
@UsesPermissions(permissionNames = "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE, android.permission.READ_PHONE_NUMBERS") // For example
public class ExtensionName extends AndroidNonvisibleComponent implements Component {

To add multiple, just do what I did with the permissions (separate with ,)

Taken from FirebaseDB.java at MIT Sources

Ok, well if you need a list of libraries go here then click TOOLS and goto View Libraries.

If this guide is old, and you shouldn’t listen to it, why is it still pinned?

Link not working. Please update!
It will help us alot.

#100

I cannot update the links to whatever is on this Community that is mine, because I no longer have it on my computer. When I was banned from the community, I either uploaded it to Google Drive or deleted it from my computer, this is one that got deleted.

#101

Oh!
I’ve started learning to build extensions. That could help me alot and maybe more like me.

#102

Maybe @KodularCreator team can help as I think file is available but access denied.

#103

Not able to download this please upload

#104
