GoogleSignIn

  • The GoogleSignIn class is an entry point for the Google Sign In API but is deprecated.

  • It is recommended to use Credential Manager for authentication or Google Identity Services for authorization instead of this class.

  • Key functionalities include getting signed-in accounts, creating a GoogleSignInClient, checking and requesting permissions for scopes and extensions, and retrieving the last signed-in account.

  • Methods like getAccountForExtension, getAccountForScopes, getClient, getLastSignedInAccount, getSignedInAccountFromIntent, hasPermissions, and requestPermissions are available in this class.
public final class GoogleSignIn extends Object

Inherited Method Summary

Public Methods

public static GoogleSignInAccount getAccountForExtension (Context context, GoogleSignInOptionsExtension extension)

Gets a GoogleSignInAccount object to use with other authenticated APIs. Please specify the additional configurations required by the authenticated API, e.g. ERROR(/com.google.android.gms.fitness.FitnessOptions) indicating what data types you'd like to access.

public static GoogleSignInAccount getAccountForScopes (Context context, Scope scope, Scope... scopes)

Gets a GoogleSignInAccount object to use with other authenticated APIs. Please specify the scope(s) required by the authenticated API.

public static GoogleSignInClient getClient (Context context, GoogleSignInOptions options)

Create a new instance of GoogleSignInClient

Parameters
context A Context used to provide information about the application's environment.

See also getClient(Activity, com.google.android.gms.auth.api.signin.GoogleSignInOptions) for GoogleSignInOptions configuration.
options

public static GoogleSignInClient getClient (Activity activity, GoogleSignInOptions options)

Create a new instance of GoogleSignInClient

Parameters
activity An Activity that will be used to manage the lifecycle of the GoogleSignInClient.
options A ERROR(/GoogleSignInOptions) used to configure the GoogleSignInClient. It is recommended to build out a GoogleSignInOptions starting with new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN)}, configuring either ID token or Server Auth Code options if you have a server. Later, in-context incrementally auth to additional scopes for other Google services access.
Returns

public static GoogleSignInAccount getLastSignedInAccount (Context context)

Gets the last account that the user signed in with.

Returns
  • ERROR(/GoogleSignInAccount) from last known successful sign-in. If user has never signed in before or has signed out / revoked access, null is returned.

public static Task<GoogleSignInAccount> getSignedInAccountFromIntent (Intent data)

Returns a GoogleSignInAccount present in the result data for the associated Activity started via GoogleSignInClient.getSignInIntent().

A sample usage:

try {
   // As documented, we return a completed Task in this case and it's safe to directly call
   // getResult(Class<ExceptionType>) here (without need to worry about IllegalStateException).
   GoogleSignIn.getSignedInAccountFromIntent(intent).getResult(ApiException.class);
 } catch (ApiException apiException) {
   Log.wtf(TAG, "Unexpected error parsing sign-in result");
 }
Parameters
data the Intent returned via Activity.onActivityResult(int, int, Intent) when sign in completed.
Returns

public static boolean hasPermissions (GoogleSignInAccount account, GoogleSignInOptionsExtension extension)

Determines if the given account has been granted permission to all scopes associated with the given extension.

See requestPermissions(Activity, int, GoogleSignInAccount, Scope) for sample code.

Parameters
account the account to be checked.
extension the extension to be checked.
Returns
  • true if the given account has been granted permission to all scopes associated with the given extension.

public static boolean hasPermissions (GoogleSignInAccount account, Scope... scopes)

Determines if the given account has been granted permission to all given scopes.

See requestPermissions(Activity, int, GoogleSignInAccount, GoogleSignInOptionsExtension) for sample code.

Parameters
account the account to be checked.
scopes the collection of scopes to be checked.
Returns
  • true if the given account has been granted permission to all given scopes.

public static void requestPermissions (Activity activity, int requestCode, GoogleSignInAccount account, Scope... scopes)

Requests a collection of permissions to be granted to the given account. If the account does not have the requested permissions the user will be presented with a UI for accepting them. Once the user has accepted or rejected a response will returned via Activity.onActivityResult(int, int, Intent).

A sample usage:

 // Check for your incrementally authed features:
 if (!GoogleSignIn.hasPermissions(
   GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(this), Drive.SCOPE_APPFOLDER)) {
   requestPermission(Drive.SCOPE_APPFOLDER, RC_REQUEST_DRIVE_AND_CONTINUE_FILE_CREATION);
 } else {
   createDriveFile();
 }

 void createDriveFile() {
    Drive.getDriveResourceClient(this, GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(this))
        .createFile(appFolderRoot, changeSet, newContents);
    ...
 }

 private void requestPermission(Scope scope, String requestCode) {
   GoogleSignIn.requestPermissions(
       this,
       requestCode,
       GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(),
       scope);
 }
 // ...
 @Override
 void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
   if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
     if (RC_REQUEST_DRIVE_AND_CONTINUE_FILE_CREATION == requestCode) {
       createDriveFile();
     }
   }
 }
Parameters
activity the target activity that will receive the response.
requestCode code associated with the request. It will match the requestCode associated with the response returned via Activity.onActivityResult(int, int, Intent).
account the account for which the permissions will be requested. If null the user may have the option to choose.
scopes the extra collection of scopes to be requested.

public static void requestPermissions (Activity activity, int requestCode, GoogleSignInAccount account, GoogleSignInOptionsExtension extension)

Requests a collection of permissions associated with the given extension to be granted to the given account. If the account does not have the requested permissions the user will be presented with a UI for accepting them. Once the user has accepted or rejected a response will returned via Activity.onActivityResult(int, int, Intent).

     .build();

 if (!GoogleSignIn.hasPermissions(GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(this), fitnessOptions)) {
    GoogleSignIn.requestPermissions(
