createUserWithEmailAndPassword doesn't work for me

[chen...@gmail.com]

I'm working on Register function by using createUserWithEmailAndPassword  in Android Studio. But I can't make it work. 

What I have done:

1. Download and paste google-services.json under app folder

2. Modify build.gradle and app.gradle according to tutorial

3. Enable Email Sign-In Method from my Firebase console

4. Then I created a RegisterActivity activity:

import android.app.ProgressDialog;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.provider.ContactsContract;

import android.support.annotation.NonNull;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.text.TextUtils;

import android.util.Log;

import android.view.View;

import android.widget.Button;

import android.widget.EditText;

import android.widget.ProgressBar;

import android.widget.TextView;

import com.firebase.client.Firebase;

import com.google.android.gms.tasks.OnCompleteListener;

import com.google.android.gms.tasks.Task;

import com.google.firebase.auth.AuthResult;

import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth;

import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseReference;

import com.google.firebase.database.FirebaseDatabase;

public class RegisterActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static final String TAG = "chen";

    private EditText mNameField;

    private EditText mEmailField;

    private EditText mPasswordField;

    private FirebaseAuth mAuth;

    private DatabaseReference mDatabase;

    private ProgressDialog mProgress;

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_register);

        mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

        mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Users");

        mDatabase.keepSynced(true);

        mProgress = new ProgressDialog(this);

        mNameField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.nameField);

        mEmailField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.emailField);

        mPasswordField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passwordField);

        Button mRegisterBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.registerBtn);

        mRegisterBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override

            public void onClick(View view) {

                startRegister();

            }

        });

    }

    private void startRegister() {

        final String name = mNameField.getText().toString().trim();

        String email = mEmailField.getText().toString().trim();

        String password = mPasswordField.getText().toString().trim();

        if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(name) && !TextUtils.isEmpty(email) && !TextUtils.isEmpty(password)) {

            mProgress.setMessage("Signing Up ...");

            mProgress.show();

            mAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {

                @Override

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

                    if(task.isSuccessful()){

                        String user_id = mAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid();

                        DatabaseReference current_user_db = mDatabase.child(user_id);

                        current_user_db.child("name").setValue(name);

                        current_user_db.child("image").setValue("default");

                        mProgress.dismiss();

                        Intent mainIntent = new Intent(RegisterActivity.this, MainActivity.class);

                        mainIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

                        startActivity(mainIntent);

                    }

                }

            });

        }

    }

}

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. I can't add any new User to Firebase Auth.

Have googled a lot with different solutions, still no luck.

Hope anyone here can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Chen

Hi Chen,

Can you try logging the error in the case that the create task is not successful? Also, is this really the minimum code needed to reproduce your issue? Would be great to see if you can recreate it with some hard coded values (cutting out the possibility that the inputs are a culprit). What version of the SDK are we working with?

☼, Kato

Hi Kato,

Thanks for your reply. Finally I find the reason after struggled with this issue more than 3 days!,......

I googled almost everything relate to firebase/createUserWithEmailAndPassword/Auth/Rules/ etc. No any answer has been found the same as my case. 

Here I share it to people who has the similar problem:

If your createUserWithEmailAndPassword doesn't do anything, Instead of spend lots of time doing:

denpendency version (sb. says 9.2.0 / 9.0.2 / 9.4.0 etc...) / google-services.json / Sign-In method / Rules / Google play store ... / length of password .... /

I suggest you first check your emulator... Are you using any virtual device? then stop using it. Try to build your app to be an apk file, install it in your physical device or directly connect your physical device via Android Studio to set it as your simulator.  

Then you will see createUserWithEmailAndPassword works perfectly.

Hope this will help others :)

Hi Chen,

I couldn't come up with any reason that the emulator could matter here. Seems like the promise would fail with an error or there would be one in the console.

If you feel otherwise, is love to see a minimal repro, console logs, and info about your specific emulator version, including Google Play version.

Hi Kato,

i have denpendencies:

a) In build.gradle I added dependencies: dependencies { 
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2' 
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0' 

b) In app.gradle I added: dependencies { 
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) 
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' 
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0' 
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.2' 
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.0.2' 
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:9.0.2' 
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.0.2' 
} 
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' 

I have also tried 9.4.0 and 9.2.0, didn't work.

That's true in my log always see issue related to Google Play 

I used Genymotion 2.7.2 free version (personal use), no google play store there. Maybe this caused the issue.

console log if i run app in genymotion, Samsung galaxy S3, 4.3 API18:
