Can firebase android SDK work without sockets? -


we've deployed real-time solution (on top of firebase) communicates on 3g network. commercial purposes, looking agreements network provider provide sort of firewall, whitelists specific set of domain names or ips provided us. unfortunately, they've mentioned socket communication not supported in this.

i know javascript firebase sdk falls http in case sockets not available. there fallback available in android sdk well, allow firebase function in absence of socket io?

(i know rest apis allow this, wanted know if firebase sdk automatically fall-back this, or have manually)

the firebase javascript sdk indeed access database using long polling in browsers web sockets not available.

the native firebase sdks android , ios not have such fallback, since these mobile platforms support sockets natively.
