Add social provider sign-in

Prerequisites

When configuring social sign-in through the Amplify CLI, it's important to exercise caution when designating attributes as "required." Different social identity providers have varied scopes in terms of the information they respond back to Cognito with. User pool attributes that are initially set up as "required" cannot be changed later, and may require you to migrate the users or create a new user pool.

Launch Social Web UI Sign In

Sweet! You're now ready to launch sign in with your social provider's web UI.

For now, just add this method to the onCreate method of MainActivity with whatever provider you're using (shown with Facebook below):

// Replace facebook with your chosen auth provider such as google, amazon, or apple
Amplify.Auth.signInWithSocialWebUI(
AuthProvider.facebook(),
this,
result -> Log.i("AuthQuickstart", result.toString()),
error -> Log.e("AuthQuickstart", error.toString())
);
// Replace facebook with your chosen auth provider such as google, amazon, or apple
Amplify.Auth.signInWithSocialWebUI(
AuthProvider.facebook(),
this,
{ Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "Sign in OK: $it") },
{ Log.e("AuthQuickstart", "Sign in failed", it) }
)
try {
// Replace facebook with your chosen auth provider such as google, amazon, or apple
val result = Amplify.Auth.signInWithSocialWebUI(AuthProvider.facebook(), this)
Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "Sign in OK: $result")
} catch (error: AuthException) {
Log.e("AuthQuickstart", "Sign in failed", error)
}
// Replace facebook with your chosen auth provider such as google, amazon, or apple
RxAmplify.Auth.signInWithSocialWebUI(AuthProvider.facebook(), this)
.subscribe(
