I believe the FirebaseAuth object only has the capability to get the currently signed-in user's details.

Maybe you could create a User object in your schema and have the UID from the Firebase Users as the key:

users
---UID
------first_name
------last_name
------etc...

And then with that, you get a user's ID with a simple Firebase Query like:

FirebaseDatabase.getReference('users').orderByKey().equalTo(yourUID)

if you need an other user detail you need to store what you need at the firebase you can't use the auth method

To get user uid, simple use user.geUid();, for example:

    FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
    String userUid = user.getUid());
