I am interested in using firebase (firebase.google.com), to create a sync feature for times. This would mean that times are stored in the database, and then the same times can be used in the app, and on a desktop web version (which I am interested in writing). The feature would work with firebase's authentication feature, which would allow google sign-in.

This would probably (for the android app), mean a rewrite of databasehandler.java, along with adding a sign-in fragment (probably to the sidebar).

I would like to ask a bit about how the database works internally, and how easy it would be to replace it with a firebase online database. (which uses JSON).
