How to limit concurrent connections on Firebase Android

it might be not the place, but in Firebase's site it seems that it is acceptable to ask here. In the free plan of them, where you are limited to 100 devices connected at the same time, is it when you use the AddValueEventListener () function, which make you still updated realtime.

what I want to do is just to request some data from the DB, and have users scrolling and getting more information and data when they want. I do it just to learn development, but in what I assume I will reach the 100 Devices/Users fast.

If I use the AddListenerForSingleEventValue () which actually Detach the listener after the first call, will it be possible to have more then 100 devices using my app with the data provided by the application? do they mean in the site that I cannot have more then 100 listeneres at the same time? (and if I detach it it's fine)

You'd be surprised about that. Most developers vastly over-estimate the number of concurrent users they will get. But if you do get them, that'd be a good problem to have. :-)

Calling addListenerForSingleEventValue() will remove the listener after the first value, but it will not close the connection. To programmatically close the connection, call Firebase.goOffline() and then Firebase.goOnline() again.
