Creating groups with Firebase Realtime Database in Android app
I have an Android app that uses the Firebase Realtime Database. At the moment it is a single user app, in that when a user logs in, using Firebase Auth, the data they create is kept private to them. What I need to do for the next phase of the project is to allow for the creation of teams or user-groups that have access (read and write) to the data currently created by a single user.
The database structure and rules for doing this are understood, however, the issue I have is how to create the groups.
I did find the following blog and it is very close to what I need, it does not make clear how a new user would create the pending membership entry in a specific "chat" (this is a group chat sample).
https://firebase.googleblog.com/2016/10/group-security-in-firebase-database.html
Any points on resolving this final issue would be much appreciated.
