I have started a project at Firebase and I defined a cloud variable (at database tab). I have copied the apiKey and databaseURL to my app (at Firebase Settings). I don’t know why I can’t change the value of this variable from Firebase. Is there any video shows how to setup a cloud variable at Fireb…

Could anybody help me with some steps to connect my app with a firebase project?

I am also wondering how to view the cloud variables initialized in the app in Firebase. Generally speaking, it would be awesome to have some consolidated/more detailed documentation on how cloud variables work with Firebase.

@nicnok The “cloud” type variables seem to be stored in the Thunkable real-timeDB, even after setting up firebase.

When I click the button, I don’t navigate to the other screen. If I put the navigate block above the list block, I do navigate to the other scre…

I’m sure this is not the only coding block in your project and therefore I need to ask you two questions. Is your Firebase API key and database URL supplied in the project properties? You are trying to use the cloud variable as a list. However when cloud variables are first created they hold n…

I would also make sure you can access existing data before trying to create/update new data. You should be able to set a label’s text to a cloud variable with the full pathname to a Firebase value.

However when cloud variables are first created they hold null value and to be able to use them as list you will have to first initialize them in your code with empty list. That was it! I didn’t know that there’s a difference between “null” and “empty”! I’ve added a block to set the cloud variable…
