have you tried safeDk – Sports

If you are simple set of key/value pairs that get pulled into your app you can try services that use Parse Server as back-end , something like back4app.com . – Gorton

I've solved with Parse https://parseplatform.org/ there's also a baas implementation provided by https://www.back4app.com/ with a free tier

Answer 2

Yeah, you can use Huawei Remote Configuration, it mostly matches Firebase for API style.

Sign up for the Huawei console https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/agconnect/remote-configuration/

Add the dependencies:

implementation 'com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-core:1.5.2.300'
implementation 'com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-remoteconfig:1.5.2.300'
implementation 'com.huawei.hms:hianalytics:6.0.0.300'

Fetch the same as Firebase Remote Config:

config = AGConnectConfig.getInstance()
config.fetch(0) // a value of 0 here is for DEBUGGING ONLY, delete for prod (giving a 12 hour refresh period)
    .addOnSuccessListener {
        config.apply(it)
        Log.d(TAG, "Applied")
        //update based on RemoteConfig
    }
