In this video series we will learn how to use the FirebaseUI FirestoreRecyclerAdapter, to implement a RecyclerView into our app, that displays a Collection of Firestore Documents and updates new data in realtime.

In part 1 we will create a new Android Studio project, connect it to the Firestore database with the Firebase Assistant, add the Design Support and the CardView library dependencies and lastly prepare some icon drawables and a menu file.
