Google Login And Registration For Android Using Firebase Authentication

In this tutorial, we will learn how to build simple google login and registration for android using Firebase Authentication. We have added Email & Password login and Google Account login feature.

Firebase automatically stores user information in the database. Login with the google feature is best as you can enter the apps without entering the email and password.

Why Google Login and Registration?

1. User Convenience: Google Login eliminates the need for users to create and remember multiple usernames and passwords making the onboarding process smoother and faster.

2. Increased Security: Firebase Authentication utilizes Google’s secure infrastructure which provide robust protection against unauthorized access and data breaches.

Google Login and registration for Android Using Firebase Authentication

1. Enabling Firebase Auth

1. Go to the android studio and click Tools ⇒ Firebase. Then click on the Authentication tab.

2. Click on the Connect to firebase option.

3. If you are creating a new project then you have to give a new project name otherwise you can select the project you have made.
4. Then you have to select the second option to add firebase authentication to your app. Click on apply changes. This adds plugins and implementation in your Gradle file.

2. Enable Authentication Feature

1. Go to the site firebase.google.com.You have to select the authentication tab, then click on the sign-in method.
2. Enable both the option Email/password and Google.

3. Creating an Android Project

1. Open Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all the details.
2. Open AndroidManifest.xml file and Internet permission to your app.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

3. Gradle and plugin will add automatically when you do Step 1.
4. On the Home_Screen.java add the following code. This code will execute when the user will successfully sign in to an application.

package com.androidhire.loginwithfirebase;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import com.androidhire.loginwithfirebase.databinding.HomeScreenActivityBinding;
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth;

public class Home_screen extends AppCompatActivity {

    private FirebaseAuth mAuth;
    private HomeScreenActivityBinding binding;

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        mAuth.addAuthStateListener(authStateListener);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        binding = HomeScreenActivityBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        setContentView(binding.getRoot());

        mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

        binding.signout.setOnClickListener(v -> mAuth.signOut());
    }

    private final FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener authStateListener = firebaseAuth -> {
        if (firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser() == null) {
            startActivity(new Intent(Home_screen.this, singin_activity.class));
        }
    };
}

5. Create a new activity and name that activity signin.java and add the following code to that java file.

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.google.android.gms.auth.api.signin.GoogleSignIn;
import com.google.android.gms.auth.api.signin.GoogleSignInAccount;
import com.google.android.gms.auth.api.signin.GoogleSignInClient;
import com.google.android.gms.auth.api.signin.GoogleSignInOptions;
import com.google.android.gms.common.SignInButton;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException;
import com.google.android.gms.tasks.OnCompleteListener;
import com.google.android.gms.tasks.Task;
import com.google.firebase.auth.AuthCredential;
import com.google.firebase.auth.AuthResult;
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth;
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseUser;
import com.google.firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider;

public class singin_activity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static final String TAG = "";
    private EditText inputEmail, inputPassword;
    private FirebaseAuth mAuth;
    private ProgressBar progressBar;

    SignInButton button;
    private final static int RC_SIGN_IN = 123;
    GoogleSignInClient mGoogleSignInClient;
    FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener mAuthListner;

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {

        super.onStart();

        mAuth.addAuthStateListener(mAuthListner);

    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

        //check the current user
        if (mAuth.getCurrentUser() != null) {
            startActivity(new Intent(singin_activity.this, Home_screen.class));
            finish();
        }

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_singin_activity);

        inputEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.email);
        inputPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
        Button ahlogin = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ah_login);

        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                signIn();
            }
        });


        btnSignIn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                startActivity(new Intent(singin_activity.this, singup_activity.class));
            }
        });


        mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

        // Checking the email id and password is Empty

                    return;
                }

                progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);


                //authenticate user
                mAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
                        .addOnCompleteListener(singin_activity.this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {

                        });
            }

        });


        mAuthListner = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {

        startActivityForResult(signInIntent, RC_SIGN_IN);
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        // Result returned from launching the Intent from GoogleSignInApi.getSignInIntent(...);

}

6. Create a new activity call it signup_activity.java. Add the below code to the java file.

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.google.android.gms.tasks.OnCompleteListener;
import com.google.android.gms.tasks.Task;
import com.google.firebase.auth.AuthResult;
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth;
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseUser;

public class singup_activity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private EditText name, email_id, passwordcheck;
    private FirebaseAuth mAuth;
    private static final String TAG = "";
    private ProgressBar progressBar;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_singup_activity);


        TextView btnSignUp = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.login_page);

        btnSignUp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(singup_activity.this, singin_activity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });


        mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

        email_id = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input_email);
        progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
        passwordcheck = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input_password);
        Button ahsignup = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_signup);


        ahsignup.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                String email = email_id.getText().toString();
                String password = passwordcheck.getText().toString();

                if (TextUtils.isEmpty(email)) {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Enter Eamil Id", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    return;
                }
                if (TextUtils.isEmpty(password)) {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Enter Password", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    return;
                }
                progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

                mAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
                        .addOnCompleteListener(singup_activity.this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
                            @Override
                            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {

                                progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);

                                if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                                    // Sign in success, update UI with the signed-in user's information
                                    Log.d(TAG, "createUserWithEmail:success");
                                    FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
                                    Intent intent = new Intent(singup_activity.this, Home_screen.class);
                                    startActivity(intent);
                                    finish();
                                } else {
                                    // If sign in fails, display a message to the user.
                                    Log.w(TAG, "createUserWithEmail:failure", task.getException());
                                    Toast.makeText(singup_activity.this, "Authentication failed.",
                                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                                }

                            }


                        });
            }
        });


    }
}

7. In the signin_activity.xml add the following code to your file. Through this user can log in to the application using google or email and password.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
            android:hint="@string/email_id"
            android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:textColorHint="@android:color/darker_gray" />


        <EditText

            android:textColorHint="@android:color/darker_gray" />

        <!-- Login Button -->
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/ah_login"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="20dip"
            android:background="@color/colorAccent"
            android:text="@string/login"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black" />

        <TextView
            android:gravity="center"

    </LinearLayout>



    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progressBar"
        android:layout_width="20dp"
        android:layout_height="20dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center|bottom"
        android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
        android:visibility="gone" />

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

8. Add XML code to singup_activity.xml. In this user can create a new account using Email and password. If the email exists then it will not create a new account.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingLeft="24dp"
        android:paddingRight="24dp"
        android:paddingTop="56dp">


        <!-- Email Label -->

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/input_email"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="Email"
            android:inputType="textEmailAddress" />

        <!-- Password Label -->

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/input_password"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
