The Admin SDKs are meant to be used in a trusted environment, such as your development machine, a server you control, or Cloud Functions. They are explicitly not meant to be used in client-side applications.

The common approach to create an administrative app is to:

  1. Create your own server-side API, with either Cloud Functions or on your own server, and expose URL endpoints that can be called from an app. In this code you'll use the Admin SDK, and you'll implement both the logic you need (i.e. creating user accounts), and the logic to secure access to it.
  2. Then call this custom API endpoint from within you Android application.
