In this article, we will go through the steps to quickly build the Amazon sign-in experience (user authentication) with Android (Kotlin / Java) and Logto.

Prerequisites

• A running Logto instance. Check out the introduction page to get started.
• Basic knowledge of Android (Kotlin / Java).
• A usable Amazon account.

Create an application in Logto​

Logto is based on OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication and OAuth 2.0 authorization. It supports federated identity management across multiple applications, commonly called Single Sign-On (SSO).

To create your Native app application, simply follow these steps:

1. Open the Logto Console. In the "Get started" section, click the "View all" link to open the application frameworks list. Alternatively, you can navigate to Logto Console > Applications, and click the "Create application" button.
2. In the opening modal, click the "Native app" section or filter all the available "Native app" frameworks using the quick filter checkboxes on the left. Click the "Android" framework card to start creating your application.
3. Enter the application name, e.g., "Bookstore," and click "Create application".

🎉 Ta-da! You just created your first application in Logto. You'll see a congrats page which includes a detailed integration guide. Follow the guide to see what the experience will be in your application.

Integrate Android with Logto​

Installation​

Before you install Logto Android SDK, ensure mavenCentral() is added to your repository configuration in the Gradle project build file:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
}

Add Logto Android SDK to your dependencies:

dependencies {
  implementation("io.logto.sdk:android:1.1.3")
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'io.logto.sdk:android:1.1.3'
}

Since the SDK needs internet access, you need to add the following permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

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

  <!-- other configurations... -->
</manifest>

Init LogtoClient​

Create a LogtoViewModel.kt and init LogtoClient in this view model:

//...with other imports
import io.logto.sdk.android.LogtoClient
import io.logto.sdk.android.type.LogtoConfig

class LogtoViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
    private val logtoConfig = LogtoConfig(
          endpoint = "<your-logto-endpoint>",
          appId = "<your-app-id>",
          scopes = null,
          resources = null,
          usingPersistStorage = true,
    )

    private val logtoClient = LogtoClient(logtoConfig, application)

    companion object {
        val Factory: ViewModelProvider.Factory = object : ViewModelProvider.Factory {
            @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
            override fun <T : ViewModel> create(
                modelClass: Class<T>,
                extras: CreationExtras
            ): T {
                // Get the Application object from extras
                val application = checkNotNull(extras[APPLICATION_KEY])
                return LogtoViewModel(application) as T
            }
        }
    }
}

then, create a LogtoViewModel for your MainActivity.kt:

//...with other imports
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private val logtoViewModel: LogtoViewModel by viewModels { LogtoViewModel.Factory }
    //...other codes
}

Configure redirect URI​

Let's switch to the Application details page of Logto Console. Add a Redirect URI io.logto.android://io.logto.sample/callback and click "Save changes".

Implement sign-in and sign-out​

You can use logtoClient.signIn to sign in the user and logtoClient.signOut to sign out the user.

For example, in an Android app:

//...with other imports
class LogtoViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
    // ...other codes

    // Add a live data to observe the authentication status
    private val _authenticated = MutableLiveData(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
    val authenticated: LiveData<Boolean>
        get() = _authenticated

    fun signIn(context: Activity) {
        logtoClient.signIn(context, "io.logto.android://io.logto.sample/callback") { logtoException ->
            logtoException?.let { println(it) }
            // Update the live data
            _authenticated.postValue(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
        }
    }

    fun signOut() {
        logtoClient.signOut { logtoException ->
            logtoException?.let { println(it) }
            // Update the live data
            _authenticated.postValue(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
        }
    }
}

Then call the signIn and signOut methods in your activity:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        //...other codes

        // Assume you have a button with id "sign_in_button" in your layout
        val signInButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.sign_in_button)
        signInButton.setOnClickListener {
            logtoViewModel.signIn(this)
        }

        // Assume you have a button with id "sign_out_button" in your layout
        val signOutButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.sign_out_button)
        signOutButton.setOnClickListener {
            if (logtoViewModel.authenticated) { // Check if the user is authenticated
                logtoViewModel.signOut()
            }
        }

        // Observe the authentication status to update the UI
        logtoViewModel.authenticated.observe(this) { authenticated ->
            if (authenticated) {
                // The user is authenticated
                signInButton.visibility = View.GONE
                signOutButton.visibility = View.VISIBLE
            } else {
                // The user is not authenticated
                signInButton.visibility = View.VISIBLE
                signOutButton.visibility = View.GONE
            }
        }

    }
}

Checkpoint: Test your application​

Now, you can test your application:

1. Run your application, you will see the sign-in button.
2. Click the sign-in button, the SDK will init the sign-in process and redirect you to the Logto sign-in page.
3. After you signed in, you will be redirected back to your application and see the sign-out button.
4. Click the sign-out button to clear token storage and sign out.

Add Amazon connector​

To enable quick sign-in and improve user conversion, connect with Android as an identity provider. The Logto social connector helps you establish this connection in minutes by allowing several parameter inputs.

To add a social connector, simply follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Console > Connectors > Social Connectors.
2. Click "Add social connector" and select "Amazon".
3. Follow the README guide and complete required fields and customize settings.

Set up Amazon​

Setup a Amazon app​

Go to the Amazon Developer Portal and sign in with your account. If you don’t have an account, you can register for one.

Then, create an app.

Step 1: Go to "Login with Amazon" block in home page.

Or you can visit this page.

Follow the guide to create a new security profile.

After creating the security profile, you will get a Client ID and Client Secret from the table.

Step 2: Setup callback URLs.

Click "Manage" button on the right side of the table and go to "Web Settings" tab.

In the field "Allowed redirect URLs", add the following URL:

• ${your_logto_origin}/callback/${connector_id}.

The connector_id can be found on the top bar of the Logto Admin Console connector details page.

Configure your connector​

In your Logto connector configuration, fill out the following fields with the values obtained from last step:

• clientId: Your App's Client ID.
• clientSecret: Your App's Client Secret.

scope is a space-delimited list of OIDC scopes. If not provided, the default scope is openid profile.

Config types​

Save your configuration​

Double check you have filled out necessary values in the Logto connector configuration area. Click "Save and Done" (or "Save changes") and the Amazon connector should be available now.

Enable Amazon connector in Sign-in Experience​

Once you create a social connector successfully, you can enable it as a "Continue with Amazon" button in Sign-in Experience.

1. Navigate to Console > Sign-in experience > Sign-up and sign-in.
2. (Optional) Choose "Not applicable" for sign-up identifier if you need social login only.
3. Add configured Amazon connector to the "Social sign-in" section.

Testing and Validation​

Return to your Android (Kotlin / Java) app. You should now be able to sign in with Amazon. Enjoy!

2. Click "Add social connector" and select "Apple".
3. Follow the README guide and complete required fields and customize settings.

Set up Apple Sign-in​

You need to enroll Apple Developer Program before continuing.

Enable Sign in with Apple for your app​

You can do it via Xcode -> Project settings -> Signing & Capabilities, or visit Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.

See the "Enable an App ID" section in Apple official docs for more info.

Create an identifier​

1. Visit Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, then click the "+" button next to "Identifier".
2. In the "Register a new identifier" page, choose "Services IDs" and click "Continue".
3. Fill out "Description" and "Identifier" (E.g., Logto Test and io.logto.test), then click "Continue".
4. Double-check the info and click "Register".

Enable Sign in with Apple for your identifier​

Click the identifier you just created. Check "Sign in with Apple" on the details page and click "Configure".

In the opening modal, select the App ID you just enabled Sign in with Apple.

Enter the domain of your Logto instance without protocol and port, e.g., your.logto.domain; then enter the "Return URL" (i.e., Redirect URI), which is the Logto URL with /callback/${connector_id}, e.g., https://your.logto.domain/callback/apple-universal. You can get the randomly generated connector_id after creating Apple connector in Admin Console.

Click "Next" then "Done" to close the modal. Click "Continue" on the top-right corner, then click "Save" to save your configuration.

Configure scope​

To get user's email from Apple, you need to configure the scope to include email. For both email and name, you can use name email as the scope. See Apple official docs for more info.

Save your configuration​

Double check you have filled out necessary values in the Logto connector configuration area. Click "Save and Done" (or "Save changes") and the Apple connector should be available now.

Enable Apple connector in Sign-in Experience​

Once you create a social connector successfully, you can enable it as a "Continue with Apple" button in Sign-in Experience.

In this article, we will go through the steps to quickly build the Azure AD sign-in experience (user authentication) with Android (Kotlin / Java) and Logto.

Prerequisites

• A running Logto instance. Check out the introduction page to get started.
• Basic knowledge of Android (Kotlin / Java).
• A usable Azure AD account.

Create an application in Logto​

Logto is based on OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication and OAuth 2.0 authorization. It supports federated identity management across multiple applications, commonly called Single Sign-On (SSO).

To create your Native app application, simply follow these steps:

1. Open the Logto Console. In the "Get started" section, click the "View all" link to open the application frameworks list. Alternatively, you can navigate to Logto Console > Applications, and click the "Create application" button.
2. In the opening modal, click the "Native app" section or filter all the available "Native app" frameworks using the quick filter checkboxes on the left. Click the "Android" framework card to start creating your application.
3. Enter the application name, e.g., "Bookstore," and click "Create application".

🎉 Ta-da! You just created your first application in Logto. You'll see a congrats page which includes a detailed integration guide. Follow the guide to see what the experience will be in your application.

Integrate Android with Logto​

Installation​

Before you install Logto Android SDK, ensure mavenCentral() is added to your repository configuration in the Gradle project build file:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
}

Add Logto Android SDK to your dependencies:

dependencies {
  implementation("io.logto.sdk:android:1.1.3")
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'io.logto.sdk:android:1.1.3'
}

Since the SDK needs internet access, you need to add the following permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

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

  <!-- other configurations... -->
</manifest>

Init LogtoClient​

Create a LogtoViewModel.kt and init LogtoClient in this view model:

//...with other imports
import io.logto.sdk.android.LogtoClient
import io.logto.sdk.android.type.LogtoConfig

class LogtoViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
    private val logtoConfig = LogtoConfig(
          endpoint = "<your-logto-endpoint>",
          appId = "<your-app-id>",
          scopes = null,
          resources = null,
          usingPersistStorage = true,
    )

    private val logtoClient = LogtoClient(logtoConfig, application)

    companion object {
        val Factory: ViewModelProvider.Factory = object : ViewModelProvider.Factory {
            @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
            override fun <T : ViewModel> create(
                modelClass: Class<T>,
                extras: CreationExtras
            ): T {
                // Get the Application object from extras
                val application = checkNotNull(extras[APPLICATION_KEY])
                return LogtoViewModel(application) as T
            }
        }
    }
}

then, create a LogtoViewModel for your MainActivity.kt:

//...with other imports
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private val logtoViewModel: LogtoViewModel by viewModels { LogtoViewModel.Factory }
    //...other codes
}

Configure redirect URI​

Let's switch to the Application details page of Logto Console. Add a Redirect URI io.logto.android://io.logto.sample/callback and click "Save changes".

Implement sign-in and sign-out​

You can use logtoClient.signIn to sign in the user and logtoClient.signOut to sign out the user.

For example, in an Android app:

//...with other imports
class LogtoViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
    // ...other codes

    // Add a live data to observe the authentication status
    private val _authenticated = MutableLiveData(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
    val authenticated: LiveData<Boolean>
        get() = _authenticated

    fun signIn(context: Activity) {
        logtoClient.signIn(context, "io.logto.android://io.logto.sample/callback") { logtoException ->
            logtoException?.let { println(it) }
            // Update the live data
            _authenticated.postValue(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
        }
    }

    fun signOut() {
        logtoClient.signOut { logtoException ->
            logtoException?.let { println(it) }
            // Update the live data
            _authenticated.postValue(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
        }
    }
}

Then call the signIn and signOut methods in your activity:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        //...other codes

        // Assume you have a button with id "sign_in_button" in your layout
        val signInButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.sign_in_button)
        signInButton.setOnClickListener {
            logtoViewModel.signIn(this)
        }

        // Assume you have a button with id "sign_out_button" in your layout
        val signOutButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.sign_out_button)
        signOutButton.setOnClickListener {
            if (logtoViewModel.authenticated) { // Check if the user is authenticated
                logtoViewModel.signOut()
            }
        }

        // Observe the authentication status to update the UI
        logtoViewModel.authenticated.observe(this) { authenticated ->
            if (authenticated) {
                // The user is authenticated
                signInButton.visibility = View.GONE
                signOutButton.visibility = View.VISIBLE
            } else {
                // The user is not authenticated
                signInButton.visibility = View.VISIBLE
                signOutButton.visibility = View.GONE
            }
        }

    }
}

Checkpoint: Test your application​

Now, you can test your application:

1. Run your application, you will see the sign-in button.
2. Click the sign-in button, the SDK will init the sign-in process and redirect you to the Logto sign-in page.
3. After you signed in, you will be redirected back to your application and see the sign-out button.
4. Click the sign-out button to clear token storage and sign out.

Add Azure AD connector​

To enable quick sign-in and improve user conversion, connect with Android as an identity provider. The Logto social connector helps you establish this connection in minutes by allowing several parameter inputs.

To add a social connector, simply follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Console > Connectors > Social Connectors.
2. Click "Add social connector" and select "Azure AD".
3. Follow the README guide and complete required fields and customize settings.

Set up Azure AD​

Set up Microsoft Azure AD in the Azure Portal​

• Visit the Azure Portal and sign in with your Azure account. You need to have an active subscription to access Microsoft Azure AD.
• Click the Azure Active Directory from the services they offer, and click the App Registrations from the left menu.
• Click New Registration at the top, enter a description, select your access type and add your Redirect URI, which will redirect the user to the application after logging in. In our case, this will be ${your_logto_endpoint}/callback/${connector_id}. e.g. https://foo.logto.app/callback/${connector_id}. The connector_id can be also found on the top bar of the Logto Admin Console connector details page. You can copy the Callback URI in the configuration section.
• Select Web as Platform.

Fill in the configuration in Logto​

Client ID​

You may find the Application (client) ID in the Overview section of your newly created application in the Azure Portal.

Client Secret​

• In your newly created application, click the Certificates & Secrets to get a client secret, and click the New client secret from the top.
• Enter a description and an expiration.
• This will only show your client secret once. Fill the value to the Logto connector configuration and save it to a secure location.

Cloud Instance​

Usually, it is https://login.microsoftonline.com/. See Azure AD authentication endpoints for more information.

Tenant ID​

Logto will use this field to construct the authorization endpoints. This value is dependent on the access type you selected when creating the application in the Azure Portal.

• If you select Accounts in this organizational directory only for access type then you need to enter your {TenantID}. You can find the tenant ID in the Overview section of your Azure Active Directory.
• If you select Accounts in any organizational directory for access type then you need to enter organizations.
• If you select Accounts in any organizational directory or personal Microsoft accounts for access type then you need to enter common.
• If you select Personal Microsoft accounts only for access type then you need to enter consumers.

Save your configuration​

Double check you have filled out necessary values in the Logto connector configuration area. Click "Save and Done" (or "Save changes") and the Azure AD connector should be available now.

Enable Azure AD connector in Sign-in Experience​

Once you create a social connector successfully, you can enable it as a "Continue with Azure AD" button in Sign-in Experience.

1. Navigate to Console > Sign-in experience > Sign-up and sign-in.
2. (Optional) Choose "Not applicable" for sign-up identifier if you need social login only.
3. Add configured Azure AD connector to the "Social sign-in" section.

Testing and Validation​

Return to your Android (Kotlin / Java) app. You should now be able to sign in with Azure AD. Enjoy!

          usingPersistStorage = true,
    )

    private val logtoClient = LogtoClient(logtoConfig, application)

    companion object {
        val Factory: ViewModelProvider.Factory = object : ViewModelProvider.Factory {
            @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
            override fun <T : ViewModel> create(
                modelClass: Class<T>,
                extras: CreationExtras
            ): T {
                // Get the Application object from extras
                val application = checkNotNull(extras[APPLICATION_KEY])
                return LogtoViewModel(application) as T
            }
        }
    }
}

then, create a LogtoViewModel for your MainActivity.kt:

//...with other imports
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private val logtoViewModel: LogtoViewModel by viewModels { LogtoViewModel.Factory }
    //...other codes
}

Configure redirect URI​

Let's switch to the Application details page of Logto Console. Add a Redirect URI io.logto.android://io.logto.sample/callback and click "Save changes".

Implement sign-in and sign-out​

You can use logtoClient.signIn to sign in the user and logtoClient.signOut to sign out the user.

For example, in an Android app:

//...with other imports
class LogtoViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
    // ...other codes

    // Add a live data to observe the authentication status
    private val _authenticated = MutableLiveData(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
    val authenticated: LiveData<Boolean>
        get() = _authenticated

    fun signIn(context: Activity) {
        logtoClient.signIn(context, "io.logto.android://io.logto.sample/callback") { logtoException ->
            logtoException?.let { println(it) }
            // Update the live data
            _authenticated.postValue(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
        }
    }

    fun signOut() {
        logtoClient.signOut { logtoException ->
            logtoException?.let { println(it) }
            // Update the live data
            _authenticated.postValue(logtoClient.isAuthenticated)
        }
    }
}

Then call the signIn and signOut methods in your activity:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        //...other codes

        // Assume you have a button with id "sign_in_button" in your layout
        val signInButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.sign_in_button)
        signInButton.setOnClickListener {
            logtoViewModel.signIn(this)
        }

        // Assume you have a button with id "sign_out_button" in your layout
        val signOutButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.sign_out_button)
        signOutButton.setOnClickListener {
            if (logtoViewModel.authenticated) { // Check if the user is authenticated
                logtoViewModel.signOut()
            }
        }

        // Observe the authentication status to update the UI
        logtoViewModel.authenticated.observe(this) { authenticated ->
            if (authenticated) {
                // The user is authenticated
                signInButton.visibility = View.GONE
                signOutButton.visibility = View.VISIBLE
            } else {
                // The user is not authenticated
                signInButton.visibility = View.VISIBLE
                signOutButton.visibility = View.GONE
            }
        }

    }
}

Checkpoint: Test your application​

Now, you can test your application:

1. Run your application, you will see the sign-in button.
2. Click the sign-in button, the SDK will init the sign-in process and redirect you to the Logto sign-in page.
3. After you signed in, you will be redirected back to your application and see the sign-out button.
4. Click the sign-out button to clear token storage and sign out.

Add Discord connector​

To enable quick sign-in and improve user conversion, connect with Android as an identity provider. The Logto social connector helps you establish this connection in minutes by allowing several parameter inputs.

To add a social connector, simply follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Console > Connectors > Social Connectors.
2. Click "Add social connector" and select "Discord".
3. Follow the README guide and complete required fields and customize settings.

Set up Discord OAuth app​

Register a developer application​

• Visit Discord Developer Portal and sign in with your Discord account.
• Click the New Application button to create an application, choose a name for it (Ex: LogtoAuth), tick the box and click Create.
• Go to OAuth2 page and click Reset Secret
• Take note of the CLIENT ID and CLIENT SECRET fields
• Add the valid redirects (Ex: http://auth.mycompany.io/callback/${connector_id}). The connector_id can be found on the top bar of the Logto Admin Console connector details page.

Configure Logto​

Config types​

clientId​

clientId is the CLIENT ID field we saved earlier. (You can find it in the Oauth2 Page in Discord Developer Portal.)

clientSecret​

clientSecret is the CLIENT SECRET we saved earlier. (If you've lost it you need to click Reset Secret.)

scope​

scope is the permissions granted by the user's authorization. The default value is identify email. You can see the full list of scopes here.

Save your configuration​

Double check you have filled out necessary values in the Logto connector configuration area. Click "Save and Done" (or "Save changes") and the Discord connector should be available now.

Enable Discord connector in Sign-in Experience​

Once you create a social connector successfully, you can enable it as a "Continue with Discord" button in Sign-in Experience.

1. Navigate to Console > Sign-in experience > Sign-up and sign-in.
2. (Optional) Choose "Not applicable" for sign-up identifier if you need social login only.
3. Add configured Discord connector to the "Social sign-in" section.

Testing and Validation​

Return to your Android (Kotlin / Java) app. You should now be able to sign in with Discord. Enjoy!

Create an application in Logto​

Logto is based on OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication and OAuth 2.0 authorization. It supports federated identity management across multiple applications, commonly called Single Sign-On (SSO).

To create your Native app application, simply follow these steps:

1. Open the Logto Console. In the "Get started" section, click the "View all" link to open the application frameworks list. Alternatively, you can navigate to Logto Console > Applications, and click the "Create application" button.
2. In the opening modal, click the "Native app" section or filter all the available "Native app" frameworks using the quick filter checkboxes on the left. Click the "Android" framework card to start creating your application.
3. Enter the application name, e.g., "Bookstore," and click "Create application".

🎉 Ta-da! You just created your first application in Logto. You'll see a congrats page which includes a detailed integration guide. Follow the guide to see what the experience will be in your application.
