In appybuilder code editor it is showing that firebase is a variable and in Kodualr ide it showing error in @UsesLibraries

How did you write that in IDE? If you wrote “UseseLibraries”, then it is normal to give error.

Can you give error log then? So we can see what is wrong with your code. Otherwise it will be hard to find your error by asking and asking questions.

Starting Code
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.;
import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.;
import com.google.appinventor.components.common.ComponentCategory;
import com.firebase.*;

@DesignerComponent(version = 1, description = “This Extension was created with the AppyBuilder Code Editor.
” +
“Create your own here:
https://editor.appybuilder.com
”,
category = ComponentCategory.EXTENSION,
nonVisible = true, iconName = “http://appyBuilder.com/extensions/icons/extension.png”)
@SimpleObject(external = true)
@UsesLibraries(libraries = “firebase.jar”)

Error

It will Import all Classes in the package rather than a specific Class.

So basically it’s a wildcard character.

Edit: FYI - Most will argue that this isn’t good practice because it can cause collisions if you aren’t careful.
