Logout from the application Android

Question

I have tried to logout from my app when the user clicks on Logout.It is working fine in case the user after login without closing the app if he doed logout .Then it is working properly.Back button will be ineffective in case to show again the login page after doing login But when the user after login closes the application and then he does logout the login page is not showing it is showing a blank page to me

public class AppState {
    private static AppState singleInstance;

    private boolean isLoggingOut;

    private AppState() {
    }

    public static AppState getSingleInstance() {
        if (singleInstance == null) {
            singleInstance = new AppState();
        }
        return singleInstance;
    }

    public boolean isLoggingOut() {
        return isLoggingOut;
    }

    public void setLoggingOut(boolean isLoggingOut) {
        this.isLoggingOut = isLoggingOut;
    }
}

Answer 1

I noticed that your logout button does start the Login activity but does not finish the Home Page activity. To close the Home Page:

Intent intent = new Intent(HomePage.this, LoginPage.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish()  // This call is missing.

To open it, from the Login Page:

Intent intent = new Intent(LoginPage.this, HomePage.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish()

Finish one activity after you start another. This way your task stack will have only one activity, ie, no back history. Check the example app posted by Vivek Bhusal.

I suggest reading this SO question , the accepted answer , and also this answer for more ideas on how to perform logout and some caveats with Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP , which, in your case, is not really necessary.

Answer 2

  if (!AppState.getSingleInstance().isLoggingOut()) {

do you think this statement correct?? because i saw when this condition is true you finish the activity i think that means logout but isLoggingOut should be true however you check if it is false you call finish. am i right??

Answer 3

I had similar problem in one of my application; But i got the solution. The problem is, the boolean you have defined isloggingout in your class, it resets after you close your application. Its a variable which stores your value until your application is open. As soon as you close your application it gets reset and your application wont work.. I will suggest you to use Sharedpreference to store that value..

Good luck

Updates with example application:

   public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    SharedPreferences SM;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.loginpage);

        SM = getSharedPreferences("userrecord", 0);
         Boolean islogin = SM.getBoolean("userlogin", false);
         if(islogin){
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Dashboard.class);
            startActivity(intent);
            finish();
            return;
         }

        Button login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
        final EditText ETuser = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        final EditText ETpass = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);

        login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                String user = ETuser.getText().toString();
                String pass = ETpass.getText().toString();
                if(user.equalsIgnoreCase("admin") && pass.equalsIgnoreCase("admin")){
                    Editor edit = SM.edit();
                    edit.putBoolean("userlogin", true);
                    edit.commit();

                    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Dashboard.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
                    finish();
                }else{
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Username/Password Invalid", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }
        });
    }

}

public class Dashboard extends Activity{

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Button logout = (Button) findViewById(R.id.logout);
        logout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {

                SharedPreferences SM = getSharedPreferences("userrecord", 0);
                Editor edit = SM.edit();
                edit.putBoolean("userlogin", false);
                edit.commit();

                Intent intent = new Intent(Dashboard.this, MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
                finish();

            }
        });

    }

Try this example and hope this will help you

Answer 4

You can use the SharedPreferences class in android. It can use to save the value and load it again. This is the docs and tutorial .

Answer 5

The onNewIntent() should be used in singleTop activities. Beside that, I don't see a startActivityForResult() call to Login Page/Activity.

Blank page means your activity has not setup its view (with setContentView() ).

I would suggest moving your "logging out" checks and setContentView() to onResume() of the Login Page/Activity.

Answer 6

This code is used for logout from app

        Intent logoutintent = new Intent(this, LoginActivity.class);
        startActivity(logoutintent);
        SharedPreferences loginSharedPreferences;
        loginSharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(
                LoginActivity.MyPREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        Editor editor = loginSharedPreferences.edit();
        editor.putString("UniqueId", "");
        editor.commit();
        finish();

case R.id.drawer_item_logout: //name of logout button

                    AlertDialog.Builder builder=new AlertDialog.Builder(Home.this); //Home is name of the activity
                    builder.setMessage("Do you want to exit?");
                    builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

                            finish();
                            Intent i=new Intent();
                            i.putExtra("finish", true);
                            i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); // To clean up all activities
                           //startActivity(i);
                            finish();

                        }
                    });

                    builder.setNegativeButton("CANCEL", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                            dialog.cancel();
                        }
                    });

                        AlertDialog alert=builder.create();
                    alert.show();


                    break;

Your finish call missing when you click on the logout button
