2 # Bazel Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) example
3
4 FCM requires certain information about your app (API key, app ID, project id,
5 etc) to be present in the `res/values/values.xml` resource file. This example
6 shows how to use the tools provided in the
7 [bazelbuild/tools_android](https://github.com/bazelbuild/tools_android) repo to
8 generate the `values.xml` file from the `google-services.json` file from your
9 Firebase console.
10
11 ## Building the Example
12
13 To build the example:
14
15 1. Make sure the `ANDROID_HOME` environment variable is set to the absolute path
16 of your Android SDK.
17
18 2. Go to the Firebase console for your project, and in Settings, download
19 `google-service.json`, and replace the sample file in the `app` directory.
20
21 3. Run `bazel build //app` in the project.
22
23 ## Applying the Example to Your Code
24
25 To apply this example to your code:
26
27 1. Add the following to your `WORKSPACE` file:
28 ```python
29 TOOLS_ANDROID_VERSION = "0.1"
30 http_archive(
31 name = "tools_android",
32 strip_prefix = "tools_android-" + TOOLS_ANDROID_VERSION,
33 url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/tools_android/archive/%s.tar.gz" % TOOLS_ANDROID_VERSION,
34 )
35 load("@tools_android//tools/googleservices:defs.bzl", "google_services_workspace_dependencies")
36 google_services_workspace_dependencies()
37 ```
38
39 2. Add the following to your `BUILD` file:
40 ```python
41 load("@tools_android//tools/googleservices:defs.bzl", "google_services_xml")
42
43 GOOGLE_SERVICES_XML = google_services_xml(
44 package_name = "com.example.myapplication",
45 google_services_json = "google-services.json"
46 )
47 ```
48
49 3. Add `GOOGLE_SERVICES_XML` to the `resource_files` attribute of your
50 `android_binary` rule. For example:
51 ```python
52 android_binary(
53 ...
54 resource_files = glob(["src/main/res/**"]) + GOOGLE_SERVICES_XML,
55 ...
56 )
57 ```
58
59 4. Bazel's `AndroidManifest.xml` merging logic does not merge permissions from
60 dependent libraries (see issue [#5411](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5411)).
61 You may need to add the following permissions to the `AndroidManifest.xml` of
62 your top-level `android_binary` rule:
63 ```xml
64 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
65 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
66 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
67 <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
68 ```
69
70 ## Manual Integration
71
72 It's also possible to run the Google Services values.xml generator manually and
73 add the results to your project:
74
75 1. Go to the Firebase console for your project, and in Settings, download
76 `google-service.json`.
77
78 2. From the workspace root of the `tools_android` project, run the Google
79 Services XML generator:
80 ```
81 bazel run //third_party/googleservices:GenerateGoogleServicesXml -- \
82 com.example.myapplication \
83 /absolute/path/to/google-services.json \
84 /tmp/values.xml
85 ```
86 The arguments are the package name for your app, the absolute file path to
87 the `google-services.json` file, and finally the file path for `values.xml`.
88
89 3. Merge the resulting `values.xml` file into your `values.xml` file (or put the
90 file into your `res/values` directory if you don't already have a
91 `values.xml` file). Alternatively, the `values.xml` file can be put into a
92 separate `res/values` directory and added to the `resource_files`. For the
93 example here, if `values.xml` is in
94 `app/src/main/google_services_xml/res/values/values.xml`, the `BUILD` file
95 would have
96 `resource_files = glob(["src/main/res/**"]) + ["src/main/google_services_xml/res/values/values.xml"],`.
