Android LinkedIn login integration to get user lite profile with email and post image, message and article in LinkedIn profile.
Add this to your project level build.gradle file
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}And then add this to your module level build.gradle file
dependencies {
implementation "com.github.koushikcse:LinkedIn:${latest-version}"
}In your application inside onCreate method add following line to initialize linkedIn with required details. If you only want user lite profile and email for linkedin login integratin then provide permission scope=listOf("r_liteprofile", "r_emailaddress") or if you want to post message with image/article link then provide permission scope=listOf("r_liteprofile", "r_emailaddress","w_member_social").
Linkedin.initialize(
context = applicationContext,
clientId = "CLIENT_ID", //Client Id of your linkedin app like-> "47sf33fjflf"
clientSecret = "CLIENT_SECRET", //Client Secret of your linkedin app like-> "Udhfksfeu324uh4"
redirectUri = "REDIRECT_URL", //Redirect url which has to be add in your linkedin app like-> "https://example.com/auth/linkedin/callback"
state = "RANDOM_STRING", //For security purpose used to prevent CSRF like-> "nfw4wfhw44r34fkwh"
scopes = listOf("PERMISSION_OPTIONS") // app permission options like-> "r_liteprofile", "r_emailaddress", "w_member_social"
)
Linkedin.Companion.initialize(getApplicationContext(),
"CLIENT_ID", //Client Id of your linkedin app like-> "47sf33fjflf"
"CLIENT_SECRET", //Client Secret of your linkedin app like-> "Udhfksfeu324uh4"
"REDIRECT_URL", //Redirect url which has to be add in your linkedin app like-> "https://example.com/auth/linkedin/callback"
"RANDOM_STRING", //For security purpose used to prevent CSRF like-> "nfw4wfhw44r34fkwh"
Arrays.asList("PERMISSION_OPTIONS") // app permission options like-> "r_liteprofile", "r_emailaddress", "w_member_social"
);
Then in your activity on button click add these lines. In LinkedinLoginListener callback you will get failed and success listner override methods. For success linkedin login you will get user details and token in SocialUser object.
btnlogin.setOnClickListener {
Linkedin.login(this, object : LinkedinLoginListener {
override fun failedLinkedinLogin(error: String) {
//todo failed functionality
}
override fun successLinkedInLogin(socialUser: SocialUser) {
// todo success functionality
}
})
}
btnlogin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Linkedin.Companion.login(LinkedinActivity.this, new LinkedinLoginListener() {
@Override
public void successLinkedInLogin(@NotNull SocialUser socialUser) {
// todo success functionality
}
@Override
public void failedLinkedinLogin(@NotNull String s) {
//todo failed functionality
}
});
}
});
In LinkedinLoginListener for successful login you will get socialUser object, from which you will get accessToken and socialId. Then you can post message in LinkedIn profile with these accessToken and socialId. There are three methods for posting message in LinkedIn profile. For normal message call postMessage, for posting a message with article link call
postArticle method and for posting an image with text in LinkedIn profile call postImage method. Check the following uses of these methods for better understanding.
btnPostMessage.setOnClickListener {
binding.progress.visibility = View.VISIBLE
Linkedin.postMessage(
"MESSAGE", // message you want to post
true, // Visibility -> true for public and false for only connections
"ACCESS_TOKEN", //access token which one you will get from login response
"SOCIAL_ID", //social id which one you will get from login response
object : LinkedinPostResponseListner {
override fun linkedinPostSuccess() {
binding.progress.visibility = View.GONE
// todo success functionality
}
override fun linkedinPostFailed(error: String) {
binding.progress.visibility = View.GONE
//todo failed functionality
}
})
}
btnPostMessage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showLoading();
Linkedin.Companion.postMessage("MESSAGE", // message you want to post
true, // Visibility -> true for public and false for only connections
"ACCESS_TOKEN", //access token which one you will get from login response
"SOCIAL_ID", //social id which one you will get from login response
new LinkedinPostResponseListner() {
@Override
public void linkedinPostSuccess() {
hideLoading();
// todo success functionality
}
@Override
public void linkedinPostFailed(@NotNull String s) {
hideLoading();
//todo failed functionality
}
}
);
}
});
btnPostArticle.setOnClickListener {
binding.progress.visibility = View.VISIBLE
Linkedin.postArticle(
"MESSAGE", // message you want to post
"ARTICLE_URL" //url of the article like->"https://blog.linkedin.com/"
true, // Visibility -> true for public and false for only connections
"ACCESS_TOKEN", //access token which one you will get from login response
"SOCIAL_ID", //social id which one you will get from login response
object : LinkedinPostResponseListner {
override fun linkedinPostSuccess() {
binding.progress.visibility = View.GONE
// todo success functionality
}
override fun linkedinPostFailed(error: String) {
binding.progress.visibility = View.GONE
//todo failed functionality
}
})
}
btnPostArticle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showLoading();
Linkedin.Companion.postArticle("MESSAGE", // message you want to post
"ARTICLE_URL" //url of the article like->"https://blog.linkedin.com/"
true, // Visibility -> true for public and false for only connections
"ACCESS_TOKEN", //access token which one you will get from login response
"SOCIAL_ID", //social id which one you will get from login response
new LinkedinPostResponseListner() {
@Override
public void linkedinPostSuccess() {
hideLoading();
// todo success functionality
}
@Override
public void linkedinPostFailed(@NotNull String s) {
hideLoading();
//todo failed functionality
}
}
);
}
});
btnPostImage.setOnClickListener {
binding.progress.visibility = View.VISIBLE
Linkedin.postImage(
"MESSAGE", // message you want to post
"IMAGE_FILE" //Image file you want to post
true, // Visibility -> true for public and false for only connections
"ACCESS_TOKEN", //access token which one you will get from login response
"SOCIAL_ID", //social id which one you will get from login response
object : LinkedinPostResponseListner {
override fun linkedinPostSuccess() {
binding.progress.visibility = View.GONE
// todo success functionality
}
override fun linkedinPostFailed(error: String) {
binding.progress.visibility = View.GONE
//todo failed functionality
}
})
}
btnPostImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showLoading();
Linkedin.Companion.postImage("MESSAGE", // message you want to post
"IMAGE_FILE" //Image file you want to post
true, // Visibility -> true for public and false for only connections
"ACCESS_TOKEN", //access token which one you will get from login response
"SOCIAL_ID", //social id which one you will get from login response
new LinkedinPostResponseListner() {
@Override
public void linkedinPostSuccess() {
hideLoading();
// todo success functionality
}
@Override
public void linkedinPostFailed(@NotNull String s) {
hideLoading();
//todo failed functionality
}
}
);
}
});
