How to set up social login on Android devices

In mobile applications, you can implement social login by opening an authorization form inside the application. To do this, connect the native Xsolla SDK for Android to the Cocos Creator project. Using this library, you can open a social network authorization form in a custom WebView and receive a user token if login succeeds. In this case, the user does not need to leave the mobile application.

To add authorization through social networks in mobile applications:

1. Connect native Xsolla SDK for Android to your project.
2. Start authorization and processing of its results:

1. 1. Implement a UI for social login in your application (for example, the Sign in with Google button on the login page).
   2. In accordance with the logic of the application, implement a call of the authSocial native method. This method takes the name of the social network as a parameter.

Example of starting social login:

NativeUtil.authSocial(socialNetworkName);

1. 3. On the Cocos Creator side, subscribe to the successful authorization event. This event is generated at the scene level by native Activity that handles the authorization result. Once authorization is successful, call the handleSuccessfulSocialAuth handler method, which takes an object with the user’s token. This object can be used to further work with the Xsolla API.

Subscription example:

director.getScene().on(Events.SOCIAL_AUTH_SUCCESS, this.handleSuccessfulSocialAuth, this );

1. 4. Subscribe to login error and login cancellation events with a call to the necessary handler methods.
