As a developer, you may have come across the need to integrate a quotes offline android app with Admob GDPR and Firebase. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a quotes offline android app that integrates Admob GDPR and Firebase.

What is Admob GDPR?

Admob GDPR is a compliance module that helps you comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when using Admob, a popular mobile advertising platform. GDPR is a regulation that requires app developers to obtain explicit consent from users before collecting and processing their personal data.

What is Quotes Offline Android App?

Quotes Offline Android App is a mobile app that stores quotes in offline mode. This means that users can access the quotes even when they are offline or without an internet connection.

Tutorial: Creating a Quotes Offline Android App with Admob GDPR and Firebase

Step 1: Create a new Android Project

• Open Android Studio and create a new project.
• Choose "Empty Activity" as the project template.
• Name your project "Quotes Offline" and choose a location to save it.

Step 2: Add Admob GDPR to your Project

• Add the Admob SDK to your project by adding the following lines to your app-level build.gradle file:

  dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.3.0'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gdpr:20.3.0'
  }

• Add the following lines to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file:

  <application>
  <meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
      android:value="YOUR_APP_ID"/>
  <meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.DEMOGRAPHICS_LIMITS"
      android:value="YES"/>
  </application>

• Replace "YOUR_APP_ID" with your actual Admob app ID.

Step 3: Add Firebase to your Project

• Add the Firebase SDK to your project by adding the following lines to your app-level build.gradle file:

  dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:21.0.2'
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:21.0.2'
  }

• Add the following lines to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file:

  <application>
  <meta-data
      android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated"
      android:value="false"/>
  </application>

• Initialize Firebase in your app by adding the following code to your app's main activity:

  FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this);

  Step 4: Add Quotes Offline Feature

• Create a new class called "Quote" to represent a quote:

  public class Quote {
  private String text;
  private String author;
  
  public Quote(String text, String author) {
      this.text = text;
      this.author = author;
  }
  
  public String getText() {
      return text;
  }
  
  public String getAuthor() {
      return author;
  }
  }

• Create a new class called "QuoteDatabase" to manage the quotes:

  public class QuoteDatabase {
  private SQLiteDatabase db;
  
  public QuoteDatabase(Context context) {
      db = new SQLiteOpenHelper(context, "quotes.db", null, 1).getWritableDatabase();
  }
  
  public void addQuote(Quote quote) {
      db.execSQL("INSERT INTO quotes (text, author) VALUES (?,?)", new Object[]{quote.getText(), quote.getAuthor()});
  }
  
  public List<Quote> getQuotes() {
      List<Quote> quotes = new ArrayList<>();
      Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM quotes", null);
      while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
          Quote quote = new Quote(cursor.getString(1), cursor.getString(2));
          quotes.add(quote);
      }
      cursor.close();
      return quotes;
  }
  }

• Create a new class called "MainActivity" to display the quotes:

  public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
  private QuoteDatabase quoteDatabase;
  
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
      quoteDatabase = new QuoteDatabase(this);
  
      List<Quote> quotes = quoteDatabase.getQuotes();
      RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
      recyclerView.setAdapter(new QuoteAdapter(quotes));
  }
  }

  Step 5: Integrate Admob GDPR with Firebase

• Create a new class called "AdmobGDPR" to integrate Admob GDPR with Firebase:

  public class AdmobGDPR {
  private FirebaseAnalytics firebaseAnalytics;
  private AdRequest adRequest;
  
  public AdmobGDPR(Context context) {
      firebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(context);
      adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
  }
  
  public void requestAd() {
      firebaseAnalytics.logEvent("ad_request", new Bundle());
      AdView adView = findViewById(R.id.ad_view);
      adView.loadAd(adRequest);
  }
  
  public void showAd() {
      AdView adView = findViewById(R.id.ad_view);
      adView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
  }
  }

• Initialize Admob GDPR in your app's main activity:

  AdmobGDPR admobGDPR = new AdmobGDPR(this);

• Request an ad in your app's main activity:

  admobGDPR.requestAd();

• Show the ad in your app's main activity:

  admobGDPR.showAd();

  Step 6: Run the App

• Run the app on a physical device or emulator.
• The app should display the quotes offline and show ads when requested.

That's it! You have now created a quotes offline android app with Admob GDPR and Firebase.
