Add Serverless Functionality to Android Apps with Firebase

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Shows a working Android selfie app that uploads images to Cloud Storage, sends them to Google Cloud DLP via Cloud Functions for Firebase, and writes a redacted-image URL into Firestore so the app displays the anonymized photo. Uses Kotlin coroutines, the Play Services await helper, and WorkManager to guarantee uploads across restarts. Demo redacts a drivers license live and Firestore updates succeed, proving the end-to-end flow works.
