Google Firebase Authentication Android Studio

Question

Im attempting to configure the new google firebase authentication in my app.

I am receiving cannot resolve 'addOnCOmpleteListener' when running the following within the OnClickListener for the button.

If i move the firebase call out of the buttons onClickListener then the error goes,

I cant quite understand why the method is not accessible from within the button call

Any Help would be appreciated

Because this is the click listener when you have it inside the anonymous class.

The method requires an Activity as the first parameter to the addOnCompleteListener and not an OnClickListener.

.addOnCompleteListener(LoginActivity.this, ...
