After you log in the user , you can update his info using this method:

FirebaseUser mFirebaseUser = mFirebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
mFirebaseUser.updateProfile(new UserProfileChangeRequest.Builder()
        .setDisplayName("Someone")
        .setPhotoUri(someImageUri)
        .build());

For additional fields you would have to create entries in the Realtime DB.

It adds the info into the internal firebase profile system (aka. the FirebaseUser) , the only limitation is you can only add name and photo. – Hristo Stoyanov May 03 '17 at 14:06
