Firebase and Android Jetpack: fit like a glove
summary
A working demo stock-tracker ties Firebase (Firestore and Realtime DB) to Android Jetpack using LiveData subclass wrapping a Firestore snapshot listener, a ViewModel that survives configuration changes and a repository layer so activities stay tiny. Queries return live lists transformed via MediatorLiveData into RecyclerView backed by ListAdapter + DiffUtil to avoid jank. Background sync uses FCM topics to trigger WorkManager one-off syncs. Source code is available and the live demo runs though the uploaded APK isn’t published.
