Combining Facebook and Google auth for Firebase Android

Question

Background

Hello, I'm new with Firebase for Android and I'm trying to implement the Facebook and Google auth/login for the first time. I followed these two tutorials for the corresponding authentication:

• http:// firebase.google.com/docs/auth/android/google-signin
• http:// firebase.google.com/docs/auth/android/facebook-login

Separately, the FacebookSignInActivity and GoogleSignInActivity are working as they should.

Problem

The problem is that I'm trying to use the Google and Facebook auth in the same activity, but it won't work. Like so:

What I did

I tried to keep the FacebookSignInActivity separate from the GoogleSignInActivity by letting them extend a MainActivity and set the layout in there.

But I think I'm supposed to merge the two into one. So I tried that but I'm getting a weird nullpointer exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth.addAuthStateListener(com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth$AuthStateListener)' on a null object reference

I don't know why the object is null in the onCreate because I've copied the same code from the other two activities which are working:

 mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

 mAuthListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth) {
                FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
                if (user != null) {
                    // User is signed in
                    Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_in:" + user.getUid());
                } else {
                    // User is signed out
                    Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_out");
                }
                // [START_EXCLUDE]
                updateUI(user);
                // [END_EXCLUDE]
            }
        };

I'm not even sure if I'm even supposed to merge the two into one activity. I've also checked these links:

• https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/android/account-linking
• How to Link Multiple Auth Providers to an Firebase Account?

But it looks like that is something else from what I'm trying to do. If someone could help point me in the right direction, it would be gladly appreciated.

You can try this code:

public class LoginActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
        View.OnClickListener {

    private static final String TAG = "SignInActivity";
    private static final int RC_SIGN_IN = 9001;

    private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
    private FirebaseAuth mAuth;
    private FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener mAuthListener;

    private CallbackManager mCallbackManager;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);

        // Facebook Login
        FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
        mCallbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();

        LoginButton mFacebookSignInButton = (LoginButton) findViewById(R.id.facebook_button);
        mFacebookSignInButton.setReadPermissions("email", "public_profile", "user_birthday", "user_friends");

        mFacebookSignInButton.registerCallback(mCallbackManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
                Log.d(TAG, "facebook:onSuccess:" + loginResult);
                firebaseAuthWithFacebook(loginResult.getAccessToken());
            }

            @Override
            public void onCancel() {
                Log.d(TAG, "facebook:onCancel");
            }

            @Override
            public void onError(FacebookException error) {
                Log.d(TAG, "facebook:onError", error);
            }
        });

        // Google Sign-In
        // Assign fields
        Button mGoogleSignInButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.google_button);

        // Set click listeners
        mGoogleSignInButton.setOnClickListener(this);

        GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN)
                .requestIdToken(getString(R.string.default_web_client_id))
                .requestEmail()
                .build();
        mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .enableAutoManage(this /* FragmentActivity */, this /* OnConnectionFailedListener */)
                .addApi(Auth.GOOGLE_SIGN_IN_API, gso)
                .build();

        // Initialize FirebaseAuth
        mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

        mAuthListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth) {
                FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
                if (user != null) {
                    // User is signed in
                    Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_in:" + user.getUid());
                } else {
                    // User is signed out
                    Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_out");
                }
            }
        };
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
