Minglr - Dating App

It's a clone of Tinder dating App where users can see cards of other users and swipe left for "nope" or right for "yep". If two users swipe "yep" for each other, a match is made and they can chat to each other.

Getting Started

This app uses the Gradle build system and Google's Firebase.

To add Firebase, go to Firebase console:

1. Create a project, and follow the instructions to get google-services.json file. Once the file is downloaded, copy and paste to the app's folder.

2. Go to the newly created project and choose Authentication. On the Sing-in method tab, choose Email/Password provider

3. Go to the database and activate "Realtime Database". On the rules tab make sure only authenticated users have access by setting up the configuration to this:

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "auth != null",
    ".write": "auth != null"
  }
}

4. Go to Storage and activate storage. On the rules tab make sure it's configured to this:

service firebase.storage {
  match /b/{bucket}/o {
    match /{allPaths=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
    }
  }
}

NOTE: This app won't work without Firebase.

Once Firebase is properly setup, build this project by using the "gradlew build" command or use "Import Project" Android Studio.
