I am creating an Android application and I'm currently trying to implement user authentication using Firebase. As far as I can tell, my app is connected to my Firebase server.
I encounter a runtime error when attempting to switch from the SignIn activity to the SignUp activity via a button press. The app crashes and I encounter a runtime error.
So far as I can tell, the runtime error is from the SignUp activity's onCreate() call when I attempt to initialize a FirebaseAuth object with FirebaseAuth.getInstance(). This call fails due to
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process seniordesign.phoneafriend. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context).
However, I make this call in my Application class' onCreate() method which I thought would be fine. I added the initalizeApp() call to the SignUp's onCreate() call but no dice. I've looked for others with this issue but have not found anything similar. Thanks for any help.
