Java classes and interface combination

Question

I'm trying to create couple of Java class to perform certain work. Let's say I want to get the task done by calling my classes like this:

FirebaseAuth.signInWithCredential(credential)
            .addOnCompleteListener(this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
                @Override
                public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
                    if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                        // Sign in success, update UI with the signed-in user's information
                        Log.d(TAG, "signInWithCredential:success");

                        FirebaseUser user = task.getResult().getUser();
                        // ...
                    } else {
                        // Sign in failed, display a message and update the UI
                        Log.w(TAG, "signInWithCredential:failure", task.getException());
                        if (task.getException() instanceof FirebaseAuthInvalidCredentialsException) {
                            // The verification code entered was invalid
                        }
                    }
                }
            });

I could understand up to signInWithCredential(). I can't figure out how to implement addOnCompleteListener() and have a interface as argument.

I've currently create my top class like FirebaseAuth with methods like getInstance () and signInWithCredential(). Also, I tried creating an interface but I am getting error that result of the interface is never used. How can I implement the style of addOnCompleteListener(parameter 1, interface 2).

Here, addOnCompleteListener is getting parameters of activity and interface and in my case, I will be using the activity parameter for some work.

P.S: I found out this is called interface callback. If it's right, any guidance to it's structure will be great

You can do it like this:

Create an interface:

public interface onCompleteListener {
    void onComplete(MyTask object);
}

Define your MyTask class:

public abstract class MyTask {

    public abstract boolean someFunc1();

    public abstract String someFunc2();

    public abstract String someFunc3();

}

In your main class:

public class MainClass{

    public static MainClass instance;
    private static Activity mActivity;
    public onCompleteListener onCompleteListener;


    private MainClass(Activity activity) {
        mActivity = activity;
    }

    public static synchronized MainClass getInstance(Activity activity) {
        if (instance == null) {
            instance = new MainClass(activity);
        }
        return instance;
    }

    public void addOnCompleteListener(@NonNull onCompleteListener var2) {
        onCompleteListener = var2;
        //Call your task function
        doTask();
    }

    public void doTask(){
        MyTask o = new MyTask() {
            @Override
            public boolean someFunc1() {
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public String someFunc2() {
                return "";
            }

            @Override
            public String someFunc3 {
                return "";
            }
        };
        //Once done, pass your Task object to the interface.
        onCompleteListener.onComplete(o);
    }

}

Usage:

MainClass.getInstance(MainActivity.this).addOnCompleteListener(new onCompleteListener() {
            @Override
            public void onComplete(MyTask object) {
                doYourWork(object);
            }
        });
