| # FirebaseUI Auth for Android | ||
|
|
||
| FirebaseUI Auth is a modern, Compose-based authentication library for Firebase Authentication on Android. | ||
|
|
||
| `10.x` is currently a beta release. | ||
|
|
||
| If you used the older FirebaseUI Auth guides, the biggest change in `10.x` is that the recommended sign-in flow now uses Compose screens instead of `Intent` builders and `ActivityResultLauncher` callbacks. | ||
|
|
||
| FirebaseUI Auth provides the following benefits: | ||
|
|
||
| - Credential Manager integration for faster sign-in on Android. | ||
| - Material 3 UI that can inherit your app theme. | ||
| - Multiple authentication providers, including email/password, phone, Google, Facebook, Apple, GitHub, Microsoft, Yahoo, Twitter, anonymous auth, and custom OAuth. | ||
| - Multi-factor authentication support, including SMS and TOTP. | ||
| - Built-in flows for account management, account linking, and anonymous user upgrade. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Before you begin | ||
|
|
||
| 1. [Add Firebase to your Android project](https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup). | ||
| 2. Make sure your app is set up for Jetpack Compose. | ||
| 3. In the [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/), enable the sign-in methods you want to support. | ||
|
|
||
| Add FirebaseUI Auth to your app module: | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| dependencies { | ||
| implementation("com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:10.0.0-beta02") | ||
|
|
||
| // Most apps also declare Firebase and Compose dependencies directly. | ||
| implementation(platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:<latest-version>")) | ||
| implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-auth") | ||
|
|
||
| implementation(platform("androidx.compose:compose-bom:<latest-version>")) | ||
| implementation("androidx.compose.material3:material3") | ||
|
|
||
| // Required only if Facebook Login support is needed | ||
| implementation("com.facebook.android:facebook-login:<latest-version>") | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| The high-level FirebaseUI Auth API is Compose-based, so if your app is not already using Compose you will need to enable it first. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Provider configuration | ||
|
|
||
| Some providers need additional setup before you can sign users in. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Google Sign-In | ||
|
|
||
| - Enable Google in the Firebase console. | ||
| - Add your app's SHA fingerprint in Firebase. | ||
| - Download the updated `google-services.json`. | ||
| - `AuthProvider.Google(..., serverClientId = null)` can use the `default_web_client_id` generated by the `google-services` Gradle plugin. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Facebook Login | ||
|
|
||
| If you support Facebook Login, add these values to `strings.xml`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```xml | ||
| <resources> | ||
| <string name="facebook_application_id" translatable="false">YOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_ID</string> | ||
| <string name="facebook_login_protocol_scheme" translatable="false">fbYOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_ID</string> | ||
| <string name="facebook_client_token" translatable="false">YOUR_FACEBOOK_CLIENT_TOKEN</string> | ||
| </resources> | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Other providers | ||
|
|
||
| Apple, GitHub, Microsoft, Yahoo, Twitter, and custom OAuth providers are configured in Firebase Authentication. Most of them do not require extra Android-specific resources. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Sign in | ||
|
|
||
| Create an `AuthUIConfiguration`, then show `FirebaseAuthScreen`. | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() { | ||
| override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { | ||
| super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) | ||
|
|
||
| val authUI = FirebaseAuthUI.getInstance() | ||
|
|
||
| setContent { | ||
| MyAppTheme { | ||
| val configuration = authUIConfiguration { | ||
| context = applicationContext | ||
| theme = AuthUITheme.fromMaterialTheme() | ||
| providers { | ||
| provider(AuthProvider.Email()) | ||
| provider( | ||
| AuthProvider.Google( | ||
| scopes = listOf("email"), | ||
| serverClientId = null, | ||
| ) | ||
| ) | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| if (authUI.isSignedIn()) { | ||
| HomeScreen() | ||
| } else { | ||
| FirebaseAuthScreen( | ||
| configuration = configuration, | ||
| authUI = authUI, | ||
| onSignInSuccess = { result -> | ||
| // User signed in successfully | ||
| }, | ||
| onSignInFailure = { exception -> | ||
| // Sign in failed | ||
| }, | ||
| onSignInCancelled = { | ||
| finish() | ||
| }, | ||
| ) | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| This gives you a complete authentication flow with: | ||
|
|
||
| - Email/password sign-in and sign-up. | ||
| - Google Sign-In. | ||
| - Password reset. | ||
| - Material 3 styling. | ||
| - Credential Manager support. | ||
| - Error handling through direct callbacks. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Configure providers | ||
|
|
||
| Choose the providers you want inside `authUIConfiguration`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| val configuration = authUIConfiguration { | ||
| context = applicationContext | ||
| providers { | ||
| provider(AuthProvider.Email()) | ||
| provider( | ||
| AuthProvider.Phone( | ||
| defaultCountryCode = "US", | ||
| ) | ||
| ) | ||
| provider( | ||
| AuthProvider.Google( | ||
| scopes = listOf("email"), | ||
| serverClientId = null, | ||
| ) | ||
| ) | ||
| provider(AuthProvider.Facebook()) | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Email link sign-in | ||
|
|
||
| Email link sign-in now lives in the email provider configuration: | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| val configuration = authUIConfiguration { | ||
| context = applicationContext | ||
| providers { | ||
| provider( | ||
| AuthProvider.Email( | ||
| isEmailLinkSignInEnabled = true, | ||
| emailLinkActionCodeSettings = actionCodeSettings { | ||
| url = "https://example.com/auth" | ||
| handleCodeInApp = true | ||
| setAndroidPackageName( | ||
| "com.example.app", | ||
| true, | ||
| null, | ||
| ) | ||
| }, | ||
| ) | ||
| ) | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| For the full deep-link handling flow, see `auth/README.md`. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Sign out | ||
|
|
||
| FirebaseUI Auth provides convenience methods for sign-out and account deletion: | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| lifecycleScope.launch { | ||
| FirebaseAuthUI.getInstance().signOut(applicationContext) | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| lifecycleScope.launch { | ||
| FirebaseAuthUI.getInstance().delete(applicationContext) | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Customization | ||
|
|
||
| FirebaseUI Auth is much more customizable in `10.x`, but the simplest way to get started is to set a theme directly in `authUIConfiguration`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| val configuration = authUIConfiguration { | ||
| context = applicationContext | ||
| providers { | ||
| provider(AuthProvider.Email()) | ||
| provider(AuthProvider.Google(scopes = listOf("email"), serverClientId = null)) | ||
| } | ||
| theme = AuthUITheme.Adaptive | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| You can also: | ||
|
|
||
| - Use `AuthUITheme.Default`, `AuthUITheme.DefaultDark`, or `AuthUITheme.Adaptive`. | ||
| - Inherit your app theme with `AuthUITheme.fromMaterialTheme()`. | ||
| - Customize the default theme with `.copy()`. | ||
| - Build a fully custom `AuthUITheme`. | ||
| - Set a logo, Terms of Service URL, and Privacy Policy URL in `authUIConfiguration`. | ||
|
|
||
| For full theming and customization details, including theme precedence, provider button styling, and custom themes, see `auth/README.md`. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Existing Activity-based apps | ||
|
|
||
| If your app still uses Activities and the Activity Result API, you can keep an Activity-based launch flow by using `AuthFlowController`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| private val authLauncher = registerForActivityResult( | ||
| ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(), | ||
| ) { result -> | ||
| if (result.resultCode == RESULT_OK) { | ||
| val user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().currentUser | ||
| // ... | ||
| } else { | ||
| // User cancelled or sign-in failed | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| val configuration = authUIConfiguration { | ||
| context = applicationContext | ||
| providers { | ||
| provider(AuthProvider.Email()) | ||
| provider( | ||
| AuthProvider.Google( | ||
| scopes = listOf("email"), | ||
| serverClientId = null, | ||
| ) | ||
| ) | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| val controller = FirebaseAuthUI.getInstance().createAuthFlow(configuration) | ||
| authLauncher.launch(controller.createIntent(this)) | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| This is the closest match to the old FirebaseUI Auth mental model, but the Compose `FirebaseAuthScreen` API is the recommended starting point for new integrations. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Migrating from the old FirebaseUI Auth flow | ||
|
|
||
| If you are coming from `9.x` or the older Firebase documentation: | ||
|
|
||
| - `AuthUI.getInstance().createSignInIntentBuilder()` becomes `authUIConfiguration {}` plus `FirebaseAuthScreen`. | ||
| - `AuthUI.IdpConfig.*Builder()` becomes `AuthProvider.*`. | ||
| - XML-based FirebaseUI theme resources become `AuthUITheme`. | ||
| - `ActivityResultLauncher` result parsing becomes direct success, failure, and cancel callbacks. | ||
| - Activity-based flows are still possible through `AuthFlowController`. | ||
|
|
||
| For a complete migration guide, see `auth/README.md` and `docs/upgrade-to-10.0.md`. | ||

For a getting started guide, using specific, known-working versions for dependencies is generally more helpful than
<latest-version>placeholders. This prevents potential build issues for users who might not know where to find the most recent stable versions. Consider using the specific versions listed inauth/README.mdor adding a note on how to find the latest stable versions for these BOMs and libraries.
