Implementation

Firebase Auth

• signInWithEmailAndPassword method is used when signing in where email and password is verified with the one in system.
• createUserWithEmailAndPassword method is used when signing up in the system, It adds the user and in return we get the UID for the user, which is used in storing other details in Firebase Database and Storage.
• If the user is already signed in, onStart of the activity Firebase User is created by fetching the current user and directly open the application instead of getting Login activity.
