# Android Manual Linking
The following steps are only required if your environment does not have access to React Native auto-linking.
## 1. Update Gradle Settings
Add the following to your projects `/android/settings.gradle` file:
```groovy
include ':@react-native-firebase_database'
project(':@react-native-firebase_database').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, './../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/database/android')
```
## 2. Update Gradle Dependencies
Add the React Native Firebase module dependency to your `/android/app/build.gradle` file:
```groovy
// ..
dependencies {
// ..
implementation project(path: ":@react-native-firebase_database")
}
```
## 3. Add package to the Android Application
Import and apply the React Native Firebase module package to your `/android/app/src/main/java/**/MainApplication.java` file:
Import the package:
```java
import io.invertase.firebase.database.ReactNativeFirebaseDatabasePackage;
```
Add the package to the registry:
```java
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
return Arrays.asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new ReactNativeFirebaseDatabasePackage(),
```
## 4. Rebuild the project
Once the above steps have been completed, rebuild your Android project:
```bash
npx react-native run-android
```
