com.firebase:firebase-client-android: VS com.googl

Question

Today meet some problem where I need to know the detailed difference between

compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.4.0'

and

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.6.1' 

Don't make attention to versions

So please share your knowledge.

Answer 1

If you need Firebase Client:

Firebase.getDefaultConfig().setLogLevel(com.firebase.client.Logger.Level.DEBUG);

You need the firebase client library:

dependencies {

    // Firebase
    implementation 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.5.2'

Answer 2

com.firebase:firebase-client-android is legacy. THEY ARE DEPRECATED AS OF MAY 18, 2016.

com.google.firebase:firebase-core is current

You can check it here

Also if you want to know the differrent beetween theme you can check 2 docs https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup
