Google Firebase sign out and forget user in Android app

Question

When I call mFirebaseAuth.signOut() or mFirebaseUser.delete() my FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() works correctly and returns null as FirebaseUser instance in onAuthStateChanged, I refresh UI and show "Sign in with Google" button.

But when I want to log in again, I don't see the dialog with users (I have 2 users on my device, attached the image). The app shows this dialog only in first sign in, after that it uses the same user. If I clear app's data on the settings screen I will be able to see this dialog again.

My question is how to show this dialog after every sign out.

I run this code when press Sign In button:

// in onCreate()
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();

// in OnClickListener
Intent signInIntent = Auth.GoogleSignInApi.getSignInIntent(mGoogleApiClient);
            startActivityForResult(signInIntent, FirebaseActivity.REQUEST_SIGN_IN);

In onActivityResult(), I get an instance of GoogleSignInResult so everything I need happens after I call startActivityForResult().

In the Firebase Auth Quickstart sample code, the sign-out for Google provider includes these steps. Are you calling GoogleSignInClient.signOut() when you sign-out?

private void signOut() {
    // Firebase sign out
    mAuth.signOut();

    // Google sign out
    mGoogleSignInClient.signOut().addOnCompleteListener(this,
            new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
                @Override
                public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {
                    updateUI(null);
                }
            });
}

Solution 2

I was confused since all of the solutions required having a reference to the GoogleSignInClient, but it is actually not required for you to hold a reference to it, you can simply create a new instance and call signOut() on it.

GoogleSignIn.getClient(
    getContext(), 
    new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN).build()
).signOut();

Another option is to use the FirebaseUI library. It simplifies sign in and sign out operations in a sense that it will do all the heavy lifting for you.

Kotlin

AuthUI.getInstance().signOut(this).addOnCompleteListener { 
    // do something here 
}

Java

AuthUI.getInstance()
      .signOut(ActivityMainOld.this)
      .addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>(){

          @Override
          public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {

              // do something here

          }
      });

Hope this helps

For anyone else who wants this result (as in getting the google account options back) on a different activity.

public static void signOut() {
    // Firebase sign out
    mAuth.signOut();

    // Google sign out
    Auth.GoogleSignInApi.signOut(mGoogleApiClient);
}

Add this on the sign in page, and before you pass to the next activity, just call SignOut().

// everything ok...             
signOut();
startActivity(new Intent(SignIn.this,NextOne.class));

and then, in your other class you can call

FirebaseAuth.getInstance().signOut();
startActivity(new Intent(NextClass.this, SignIn.class));

It's easy, and it will work. Cheers!

You can also define something like this:

private void signOut() {
    mAuth.signOut();
    mGoogleSignInClient.signOut().addOnCompleteListener(this,
            new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
                @Override
                public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(YourActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
                    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            });
}

No, i didn't call Auth.GoogleSignInApi.signOut() . Thanks a lot, it works now.

[Frank van Puffelen]

Good find @qbix! I forgot that part of the quickstart code.

[Bob Snyder]

Credit really goes to you @FrankvanPuffelen. Your earlier comment put me on the trail.

How do I get mGoogleApiClient? And what does updateUI do? How do I do this with Facebook? I have logout in a separate class. Thanks

[Bob Snyder]

@AbAppletic: Look in the Quickstart sample code linked in the answer.

[Ali Bdeir]

@qbix what I didn't understand is that why is there a signOut() method in the SIGN IN activity?

[Talha]

Hi @qbix, how we can do this for firebase web?

[coderpc]

How can we do that with Firebase's AuthUI Google Provider. Can you please help! Have a look at this problem

[Gene Bo]

Clean elegant solution .. self-contained, doesn't require involving GoogleApiClient reference. Nice, thanks!

[Bob Snyder]

Thanks, @ArnaudSmartFun. I fixed the link to sample code.

With latest Gradle and Android Studio updates in projects using Java 8 listener can be shortened to .addOnCompleteListener(task -> { /* do something here */ });
