# A New Android Sample



A new sample is now available on [our repo](https://github.com/auth0/Auth0-Android-Sample) for Android developers. The sample demonstrates integration with Auth0 for authentication and uses the standard techinque of delegating the authentication process to an embeded web view (extending the `WebViewClient` class).

All interactions are encapuslated in an `Activity` that you can call like in this example below:

    Button login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
    login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent authActivity = new Intent(MainActivity.this,
                    com.auth0.sdk.auth0sample.AuthenticationActivity.class);

            AuthenticationActivitySetup setup;
            setup = new AuthenticationActivitySetup(Tenant, ClientID, Callback, Connection);

            authActivity.putExtra(AuthenticationActivity.AUTHENTICATION_SETUP, setup);

            startActivityForResult(authActivity, AuthenticationActivity.AUTH_REQUEST_COMPLETE);
        }
    });

<!-- more -->

The result is returned using the standard method of overriding the `onActivityResult` method:

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent authActivityResult) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, authActivityResult);

        switch(requestCode)
        {
            case AuthenticationActivity.AUTH_REQUEST_COMPLETE:
                if(resultCode==RESULT_OK)
                {
                    AuthenticationActivityResult result;
                    result = (AuthenticationActivityResult) authActivityResult.getSerializableExtra(AuthenticationActivity.AUTHENTICATION_RESULT);

                    ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.access_token)).setText(result.accessToken);
                    ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.jwt)).setText(result.JsonWebToken);
                }
                break;
        }
    }

The `AuthenticationActivityResult` class is just a container for the two tokens you can use to call APIs:

    public class AuthenticationActivityResult implements Serializable {
        public String accessToken;
        public String JsonWebToken;
    }

If your app in Auth0 is created as __Windows Azure Mobile Services__:

Then the [_Json Web Token_](https://auth0.com/learn/json-web-tokens/) will be compatible with what __Mobile Services__ expects. See [this previous](http://blog.auth0.com/2013/03/17/Authenticate-Azure-Mobile-Services-apps-with-Everything-using-Auth0/) post for more details.

An end to end tutorial is available [here](https://docs.auth0.com/android-tutorial).

> We are working on a similar sample using Xamarin. Stay tuned!
