One stop shop for Social Network integrations

Use the same code for Google, Facebook and Twitter

Social Network integrations can be a pain to write and maintain. This goes double if you want to add more than one Network into a single project. With Roguin, the whole process is simplified and Google, Facebook and Twitter are unified and handled with the same code.

Roguin helps with code but you still need valid Applications as per Social Network regulations and guidelines. So, you would still need to:

• Configure a Project for Google through https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/start-integrating#configure_a_console_name_project
• Create A New App for Facebook through https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/android
• Create a New Twitter App from https://apps.twitter.com

implementation 'com.izikode.izilib:roguin:0.3'

You must add your valid App key and secrets in Manifest placeholders, for both Facebook and Twitter. Google does not require this. So in your app's build.gradle file, add the following:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        manifestPlaceholders = [
                facebook_api_key   : 'my valid facebook app key',
                twitter_api_key    : 'my valid twitter app key',
                twitter_api_secret : 'my valid twitter app secret'
        ]
    }
}

Every social network SDK uses the startActivityForResult in one way or another. In the spirit of making stuff as easy as possible, Roguin provides a Base Activity class, RoguinActivity which handles registering, unregistering, request codes and the lot. Just extend in your Activities and you are done.

Prior to using, the Endpoints you need must be initialized. A good place to do this is in the onCreate of your app's Application class. And you can do so like this:

class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        GoogleEndpoint.initialize(this)
        FacebookEndpoint.initialize(this)
        TwitterEndpoint.initialize(this)
    }
}

All three wrappers, GoogleEndpoint, FacebookEndpoint and TwitterEndpoint, implement the RoguinEndpoint interface. So they all expose the following:

• val isSignedIn for checking the Sign In status for your app.
• fun requestSignIn for starting a new Sing In flow in your app.
• fun requestSignOut for starting a new Sign Out flow in your app.
• fun requestProfile for getting Basic Profile information of the logged in user.

The following code is an outtake from the demo project in this repository and shows how simple signing in and out of all three networks is with Roguin.

googleButton.setOnClickListener {
    if (googleEndpoint.isSignedIn) {
        googleEndpoint.requestSignOut { success ->
            if (success) {
                googleStatus.text = "Google is DISCONNECTED"
            }
        }
    } else {
        googleEndpoint.requestSignIn { success, token, error ->
            if (success) {
                googleStatus.text = "Google is CONNECTED"
            }
        }
    }
}

facebookButton.setOnClickListener {
    if (facebookEndpoint.isSignedIn) {
        facebookEndpoint.requestSignOut { success ->
            if (success) {
                facebookStatus.text = "Facebook is DISCONNECTED"
            }
        }
    } else {
        facebookEndpoint.requestSignIn { success, token, error ->
              if (success) {
                facebookStatus.text = "Facebook is CONNECTED"
            }
        }
    }
}

twitterButton.setOnClickListener {
    if (twitterEndpoint.isSignedIn) {
        twitterEndpoint.requestSignOut { success ->
            if (success) {
                twitterStatus.text = "Twitter is DISCONNECTED"
            }
        }
    } else {
        twitterEndpoint.requestSignIn { success, token, error ->
            if (success) {
                twitterStatus.text = "Twitter is CONNECTED"
            }
        }
    }
}
