# Firebase

## Android

* In the center of the [Firebase console's project overview page](https://console.firebase.google.com/), click the **Android** icon to launch the setup workflow. If you've already added an app to your Firebase project, click **Add app** to display the platform options.

* On the next screen, enter your **Android package name** & **App nickname** and click on **Register App**. Your package name is generally the **`applicationId`** in your app-level **`build.gradle`** file. If specified, the app nickname will be used throughout the Firebase console to represent this app. Nicknames aren’t visible to users.
