What problem does it solve?

Removes the complexity of wiring Auth0 authentication into Android apps by guiding engineers through dependency management, secure credential storage, and robust login/logout flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency and version guidance: Fetch the latest Auth0.Android release before adding the com.auth0.android:auth0 dependency so builds always use the current SDK.
  • Configuration and flow setup: Walks through Auth0 native application settings, scheme placeholders, SecureCredentialsManager usage, and WebAuthProvider-based login and logout handling.
  • Build verification and troubleshooting: Suggests assembling the project, checking manifest placeholders, and resolving common build errors such as Java version mismatches or missing imports.
  • Use Case: Enable biometry-protected credentials and MFA in an existing Kotlin app so that Web Auth login and logout flows reuse current UI handlers and honor Auth0 callback requirements.

Quick Start

Install the Auth0 Android SDK by fetching the latest release version, configure your Auth0 native application settings and scheme placeholders, and wire WebAuthProvider-based login and logout flows into your Kotlin activity.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate Auth0 authentication into a native Android app?

Auth0 Android SDK provides WebAuthProvider to handle secure WebAuth authentication flows for native Android apps. It manages login and logout experiences by configuring Auth0 credentials and scheme placeholders within your Kotlin or Java project.

Does the Auth0 Android SDK support biometric credential storage and MFA?

Yes, the Auth0 Android SDK supports biometric credential storage and MFA. You can use SecureCredentialsManager to enable biometry-protected credentials, ensuring Web Auth login flows require multi-factor authentication on Android devices.

How do I resolve Java version mismatches when building an Android project with Auth0?

Resolving Java version mismatches when building an Android project with Auth0 requires validating build settings for Java 8 compatibility and ensuring your project meets the minSdk 21 requirement. Assembling the project helps identify missing imports or manifest placeholder errors.

Can I use Auth0 WebAuth login flows with my existing Kotlin UI handlers?

Yes, you can use Auth0 WebAuth login flows with existing Kotlin UI handlers. The SDK's WebAuthProvider and SecureCredentialsManager allow your native Android application to reuse current UI handlers while honoring Auth0 callback requirements for managed login and logout experiences.

What is the best way to manage Auth0 dependencies and ensure I have the latest SDK version?

The best way to manage Auth0 dependencies is by fetching the latest Auth0.Android release version before adding the com.auth0.android:auth0 dependency. This ensures your Android builds always use the current SDK and maintain compatibility with your configured WebAuth flows.

Why does my Auth0 Android login fail after updating my manifest placeholders?

Auth0 Android login failures often occur when manifest placeholders are incorrectly configured for your Auth0 application settings. You should assemble the project to troubleshoot build errors, verify scheme placeholders, and check for missing imports or Java version mismatches.
