LinkedinSDK allows you to get linkedin access token inside your Android application.
To install the SDK:
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Add the dependency:
implementation 'com.github.ovidos:linkedin-android-sdk:0.1.9'
For login flow to work, LinkedinSignInActivity needs to be added to AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name="com.omralcorut.linkedinsignin.ui.LinkedinSignInActivity"/>
Also, you need to add internet permission to AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Linkedin SDK is allows you to authenticate with OAuth2 authentication. This means that, you are allowed to manage other people's account that are authorized with your application.
First of all you need to retrieve Client ID, Client Secret and Redirect Uri from Linkedin. To add Client ID, Client Secret and Redirect Uri into your application:
- Open your Application Class and add the following
// Kotlin
Linkedin.initialize(context = applicationContext,
clientId = "LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID",
clientSecret = "LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET",
redirectUri = "LINKEDIN_REDIRECT_URI",
state = "RANDOM_STRING",
scopes = listOf("r_liteprofile", "r_emailaddress"))
// Java
Linkedin.Companion.initialize(getApplicationContext(),
"LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID",
"LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET",
"LINKEDIN_REDIRECT_URI",
"RANDOM_STRING",
Arrays.asList("r_liteprofile", "r_emailaddress"));
"State" is a unique string of your choice designed to protect against CSRF attacks.
- To authorize a user for your application:
// Kotlin
Linkedin.login(this, object : LinkedinLoginViewResponseListener {
override fun linkedinDidLoggedIn(linkedinToken: LinkedinToken) {
// Success
}
override fun linkedinLoginDidFail(error: String) {
// Fail
}
})
// Java
Linkedin.Companion.login(this, new LinkedinLoginViewResponseListener() {
@Override
public void linkedinDidLoggedIn(@NotNull LinkedinToken linkedinToken) {
// Success
}
@Override
public void linkedinLoginDidFail(@NotNull String error) {
// Fail
}
});
