Drop-in auth

You are currently viewing the AWS SDK for Mobile documentation which is a collection of low-level libraries. Use the Amplify libraries for all new app development. Learn more

The AWSMobileClient client supports a simple "drop-in" UI for your application. You can add drop-in Auth UI like so:

// 'this' refers the current active activity
AWSMobileClient.getInstance().showSignIn(this, new Callback<UserStateDetails>() {
@Override
public void onResult(UserStateDetails result) {
Log.d(TAG, "onResult: " + result.getUserState());
}
@Override
public void onError(Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "onError: ", e);
}
});

In the above code you would have created an Android Activity called NextActivity which would automatically be navigated to upon successful sign-up and sign-in. For testing, you can alternatively just use MainActivity.class after initializing:

AWSMobileClient.getInstance().showSignIn(
this,
SignInUIOptions.builder()
.nextActivity(NextActivity.class)
.build(),
new Callback<UserStateDetails>() {
@Override
public void onResult(UserStateDetails result) {
Log.d(TAG, "onResult: " + result.getUserState());
switch (result.getUserState()){
case SIGNED_IN:
Log.i("INIT", "logged in!");
break;
case SIGNED_OUT:
Log.i(TAG, "onResult: User did not choose to sign-in");
break;
default:
AWSMobileClient.getInstance().signOut();
break;
}
}
@Override
public void onError(Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "onError: ", e);
}
}
);

The above code also shows an additional Auth API, signOut(). For more advanced scenarios, you can call the AWSMobileClient APIs, such as for building your own UI or using functionality in different UX of your application lifecycle.

Customization

Currently, you can change the following properties of the drop-in UI with the AWSMobileClient:

  • Logo: Any Drawable resource supported by ImageView
  • Background Color: Any color Android supported
AWSMobileClient.getInstance().showSignIn(
this,
SignInUIOptions.builder()
.nextActivity(NextActivity.class)
.logo(R.id.logo)
.backgroundColor(R.color.black)
.canCancel(false)
.build(),
new Callback<UserStateDetails>() {
@Override
public void onResult(UserStateDetails result) {
Log.d(TAG, "onResult: " + result.getUserState());
}
@Override
public void onError(Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "onError: ", e);
}
}
);

You can allow the sign in process to be dismissed by setting the canCancel property.
