I used Google sign in authentication in my Android app. After authentication success, no "users" node was found in real-time database. Do I have to create it manually? If yes then how? I want users node and within it Uid of each users.

Thanks for any help.

Authentication and Databases are two different things. Authentication would provide a bunch of data regarding the user that you can later upload to the database. One popular use case of authentication is that you can check whether a user is a new user or old and whether they are signed in or not in the onCreate or onStart method of your main screen. For more info regarding authentication see here. If you want to read and write data to the database then refer to this doc

Authentications don't create database references, you have to create it yourself. The Authentication only creates a user in the Auth section of Firebase.
