Android Login Example Using PHP, MySQL and Volley

November 14, 2015 by Belal Khan 165 Comments

Hello friends we have already covered a couple of tutorials for android login example using php mysql.

But in the above mentioned tutorials, we were not maintaining the login session. Like once user has logged in to our app, user do not need to login again.

So in this android login example we will see how we can do Android User Session Management. And we will give a logout button from where user can logout from our app.

Android Login Example – Video

You can check the following video to know exactly what we will be creating in this android log in tutorial.

Now if you want to create this android login example, go ahead in this tutorial.

Creating Database and PHP Scripts

For this tutorial I am using wamp server.
This is my MySQL database.

mysql database

As you can see I have a very small table with only three columns (id, email and password). You have to create the same.
Now we will create two php script. The first one to connect to the database (dbConnect.php).

<?php
	define('HOST','localhost');
	define('USER','root');
	define('PASS','');
	define('DB','androiddb');
	
	$con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect');

<?php

define('HOST','localhost');

define('USER','root');

define('PASS','');

define('DB','androiddb');

$con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect');

Quick Tip: Are you are thinking that closing php tag ‘ ?> ‘ is missing? Actually we do not need the closing tag for the files having only php code on it. You can still put the ?> closing tag but it will not make any difference.

The next script to handle our login request. Create a new php file login.php.

<?php 
	
	if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
		//Getting values 
		$username = $_POST['email'];
		$password = $_POST['password'];
		
		//Creating sql query
		$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$username' AND password='$password'";
		
		//importing dbConnect.php script 
		require_once('dbConnect.php');
		
		//executing query
		$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
		
		//fetching result
		$check = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
		
		//if we got some result 
		if(isset($check)){
			//displaying success 
			echo "success";
		}else{
			//displaying failure
			echo "failure";
		}
		mysqli_close($con);
	}

<?php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){

//Getting values

$username = $_POST['email'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

//Creating sql query

$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$username' AND password='$password'";

//importing dbConnect.php script

require_once('dbConnect.php');

//executing query

$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);

//fetching result

$check = mysqli_fetch_array($result);

//if we got some result

if(isset($check)){

//displaying success

echo "success";

}else{

//displaying failure

echo "failure";

}

mysqli_close($con);

}

Android Login Example

Create a new Android Project.
Add android volley library to your project dependencies.

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0'
}

dependencies {

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'

compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0'

}

Now create a new class named Config.java to store some important constants.

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidloginlogout;

/**
 * Created by Belal on 11/14/2015.
 */
public class Config {
    //URL to our login.php file
    public static final String LOGIN_URL = "http://192.168.94.1/Android/LoginLogout/login.php";

    //Keys for email and password as defined in our $_POST['key'] in login.php
    public static final String KEY_EMAIL = "email";
    public static final String KEY_PASSWORD = "password";

    //If server response is equal to this that means login is successful
    public static final String LOGIN_SUCCESS = "success";

    //Keys for Sharedpreferences
    //This would be the name of our shared preferences
    public static final String SHARED_PREF_NAME = "myloginapp";

    //This would be used to store the email of current logged in user
    public static final String EMAIL_SHARED_PREF = "email";

    //We will use this to store the boolean in sharedpreference to track user is loggedin or not
    public static final String LOGGEDIN_SHARED_PREF = "loggedin";
}

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidloginlogout;

/**

* Created by Belal on 11/14/2015.

public class Config {

//URL to our login.php file

public static final String LOGIN_URL = "http://192.168.94.1/Android/LoginLogout/login.php";

//Keys for email and password as defined in our $_POST['key'] in login.php

public static final String KEY_EMAIL = "email";

public static final String KEY_PASSWORD = "password";

//If server response is equal to this that means login is successful

public static final String LOGIN_SUCCESS = "success";

//Keys for Sharedpreferences

//This would be the name of our shared preferences

public static final String SHARED_PREF_NAME = "myloginapp";

//This would be used to store the email of current logged in user

public static final String EMAIL_SHARED_PREF = "email";

//We will use this to store the boolean in sharedpreference to track user is loggedin or not

public static final String LOGGEDIN_SHARED_PREF = "loggedin";

}

Desiging Android Login Activity

First we will define colors. Inside values-> colors.xml write the following code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="colorPrimary">#085682</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#033855</color>
    <color name="colorAccent">#FFFFFF</color>
    <color name="colorBackground">#147fbb</color>

</resources>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<color name="colorAccent">#FFFFFF</color>

</resources>

In the layout file of your login activity write the following code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:background="@color/colorBackground"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

The above code will produce the following layout. We are not creating an Android Registration Form here. User will directly see the login page.

Now we need to code the next activity (Create a new activity for profile ProfileActivity.java).
For this activity we need to create a menu for our logout button. So inside menu -> menu.xml write the following.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/menuLogout" android:title="Logout" />
</menu>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</menu>

We need to create only a single TextView in our layout file for this activity (activity_profile.xml).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="net.simplifiedcoding.androidloginlogout.ProfileActivity">


    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:text="Large Text"
        android:id="@+id/textView" />

</LinearLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

tools:context="net.simplifiedcoding.androidloginlogout.ProfileActivity">

<TextView

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"

android:text="Large Text"

android:id="@+id/textView" />

</LinearLayout>

Write the following code in ProfileActivity.java

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidloginlogout;

    private TextView textView;

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

        //Initializing textview
        textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);

Android Login Example

Bingo! its working fine.
You can also download my source code from github. Visit the link given below.

[wp_ad_camp_1]

Common Error with this Android Login Example

If you are using wamp or xampp server and getting blank toast message. Then this is often cause when your emulator cannot access your host. So you have to write the correct URL in Config.java file.
To know what is your URL open your command prompt and type ipconfig.

ipconfig

Here you will see your IP Address. 192.168.94.1 -> this is my root and I stored my php scripts inside Android/LoginLogout/
So my URL is http://192.168.94.1/Android/LoginLogout/login.php
To confirm it is correct open your emulator and write http://192.168.94.1/Android/LoginLogout (You have to write your address) in browser and check the browser can access it or not.

emulator

If your browser can access your URL then it is fine.
If you got more than one IP with ipconfig command. Try accessing all the IPs one by one in your browser to get the correct one.

Hi friend. Nice tutorial.
I have aquestion. Some time ago android volley library was not included in SDK android Studio. So I am not sure if we have to import library and then make the dependences or it is already included in SDK and we only need to include the dependences ?

Hey a tutorial on user email verification would be great. Like after registering the user must verify their email by clicking a verification link sent to their email. Also, for this tutorial is there any way to just restrict a user to enter in just a certain email address? Like only @gmail.com is allowed?

Hi Belal Khan,

Wonderful tutorial that stand out from others.

However, the code doesn’t fully functional in my case. When I run the project on my android device, it keep stuck at the login page, the “Invalid username or password” pops up every time. I can’t successfully proceed to the ProfileActivity page. I am quite sure the server works fine and return “success” as I tested it on Postman. URL address is correct too, otherwise, “Invalid username or password” should not even pops up.

Can you please help me take a look at my project?
I can send it to you via email.

cheers!

  Replace
  LoginActivity.java line number 79 with this..
  if(response.trim().equalsIgnoreCase(Config.LOGIN_SUCCESS)){
  
  actually there may be an extra space of success coming from server so trimming the space of response string should work.. try this

    trim is necessary in my case too, because the server returns “success\n” and make sure that you save your file without BOM.

Hi Belal,

Thank you for your tutorial . This is very useful for my final task .

Btw, how to make it be a multi-level user? In case , if a user with the level of ” admin ” will open the admin layout . As for the level of “user ” will open a user layout .

One more thing , how to make it display ” Current User = ( name ) ” where “name” is the field in mysql table.

Thanks once again

  Store username in your database as well and then fetch the username to display.
  and for admin and user you have to create separate database.

    November 18, 2015 at 3:13 am
    
    For the multi level user, i think if i create separate database, its very complex. So what if I make it easy with the dissection “if response = success then intent to admin.class, else if response = success2 then intent to user.class, else then ‘error login’ ”
    
    Can you help me on php and java class coding? Thanks

Hey Belal khan, nice post. i run your example and i have the same problem, the problem is that sometimes reponse in empty and sometimes returnes success, i check it with using system.out.println(response); before the if(response.equals). So i think the problem is that when you check the if statement is empty=success=false and always have the toast invalid name … Could you tell me what is wrong?

I completed this tutorial and ran into the toast message “Invalid Username or Password”. I see that a few individuals also have received the same error. Since I had completed the earlier login tutorial and it worked, I figured there ws some difference in the code and I found a way to make it work. Hope it save someone some time, as the solution wasn’t so obvious.

In the LoginActivity, the onResponse code is:

/Creating a string request
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, Config.LOGIN_URL,
new Response.Listener() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
//If we are getting success from server
if(response.equalsIgnoreCase(Config.LOGIN_SUCCESS)){
//Creating a shared preference

I modified that to match the previous tutorial.

StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, LOGIN_URL,
new Response.Listener() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
if(response.trim().equals(“success”)){
openProfile();

I also added the openProfile() from the previous tutorial like this:

private void openProfile(){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityUserProfile.class);
intent.putExtra(KEY_USERNAME, username);
startActivity(intent);

I think the response from server was not functioning correctly. Maybe if has to do with the line
if(response.equalsIgnoreCase(Config.LOGIN_SUCCESS)){

Once I changed it to if(response.trim().equals(“success”)){ I was able to login in.

//If we are getting success from server

//Creating editor to store values to shared preferences

//Adding values to editor
editor.putBoolean(Config.LOGGEDIN_SHARED_PREF, true);
editor.putString(Config.EMAIL_SHARED_PREF, email);

//Saving values to editor
editor.commit();

//Starting profile activity

Hi,

Nice tutorial however I am having some issues. I’m getting a ClassCastException that looks like the following:

    I got it to work after trying to change many things, I tried all these things in one go so do as I did and it should work:
    
    1) On your MySQL database (PhpMyAdmin lets you do this with ease) create a new user (not root), give it all privileges and let the host be set to “Any Host”
    2) Change dbConnect.php to suit your credentials – make sure you have the php files in the same server the MySQL database is on, that way you can use ‘localhost’ as the hostname. Make sure username and pass match the new one you just entered (I also added ?> at the end of dbConnect.php, not sure if this made any difference)
    3) In ‘login.php’ at a semi colon at the end of the SQL statement (as well as the one after the php line) so it looks like this:
    
    $sql = “SELECT * FROM users WHERE email=’$username’ AND password=’$password’;”;
    
    This worked for me.
    
    I advise that, once you get this working, you should change this statement into a PHP prepared statement, so this sort of query is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.
    
    Hope you all have as much luck with this as I did today!
    
    Thanks

login.php is not properly sending a response message. dbConnect is working as intended however something is happening that is causing neither success or failure to be sent. I have confirmed this by hard coding $username and $password. Any response by author is appreciated.

      Just do the following:
      SEARCH LINE 82* on LoginActivity.java
      
      public void onResponse(String response) {
      //If we are getting success from server
      if(response.trim().equalsIgnoreCase(Config.LOGIN_SUCCESS)){
      
      AND CHANGE FOR THIS:
      
      public void onResponse(String response) {
      //If we are getting success from server
      String final_response= response.replaceAll(“[^\\x00-\\x7F]”, “”); // will clean non ASCII characters

Hi, I don’t know how you got yours working, but I found out there is a problem with the “String response” causing to flag the “Invalid username and password.”

“StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, Config.LOGIN_URL,
new Response.Listener() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
//If we are getting success from server
if(response.equalsIgnoreCase(Config.LOGIN_SUCCESS)){”

I use system.out to debug the string, and I found that length of the string is different compare to the Config.Login_SUCCESS.

Config.Login_SUCCESS.length() displays 7 while String response.length() displays 8. This is why (response.equalsIgnoreCase(Config.LOGIN_SUCCESS) returns false. I checked the volleyLogin.php and echo “SUCCESS” is the same length as Config.LOGIN_SUCCESS.

I don’t know what caused the string length to increase from 7 to 8. I think there’s a problem with the dbConnect.php, because when you output a string “echo ‘sdfslkdjf'”, I found out the string response in changed.

Can you please check the php files? I also download the project, but same problem. Thanks.

  May be the server is returning the string with an additional space.. in that case to be more sure use json as the response..
  You can also try by trimming the response using the trim() method.

Like many here I was having trouble with the login failing even for correct inputs. After spending 4-5 hours on this one problem, the solution turned out to be a small little command: ‘exit();’

The cause of the problem: data analytics returned as part of query results by sites such as 000webhost.
So, the actual output turned out to be:
success

To avoid having the last few lines of the analytics code, just add exit(); at the end of the php file, such as:
//if we got some result
if(isset($check)){
echo “success”;
}else{
echo “fail”;
}
mysqli_close($con);
exit();
}

And now this works! 🙂

  404 code means that you cannot connect with your server. okay now there is several option.
  1. if you did not change anything to Bellal’s code maybe you should change the IP or change the location of PHP file in the htdoc(if you are using xampp) makesure the location of PHP file is inside htdoc/Android/LoginLogout/login.php

Hi Belal,

Tx lot for the tutorial. It’s really helpful. I want to modify jason request. In my case I am not passing User Name and Password as strings. Instead I want to pass a JSON string.

String jsonString= “{\n” +
” \”user_auth\”: {\n” +
” \”provider\”: \”direct\”,\n” +
” \”user\”: {\n” +
” \”email\”: \”[email protected]\”,\n” +
” \”password\”: \”mypassword\”\n” +
” }\n” +
” }\n” +
“} “;

So what modification do I have to make to this script since in your example you are directly passing user name and password retrieved from text box. Appreciate your help on this one.

I too have download this demo for login and also got the invalid username or password error.

I was going to debug but came up with a different and quicker solution :

first I added this to the error message toast for the invalid username : , response.trim()+”Invalid username or password”

so it looks like this :
Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, response.trim()+”Invalid username or password”, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

This gives me an output directly to the screen to see the response. (I thought it could be a different response at different times)

This showed me an error in line 18 on the login.php script so I opened it and saw that the name of the table that the script was looking for was different to the name I gave the table in the sql (it doesn’t say in the tutorial what name it should be.)
after changing the name of the table (either in the login.php script or on the sql server) it worked perfectly.

Then I remembered that I had implemented the trim change suggested – so I tested it without the trim and it also worked fine.

hope this helps.

  That’s very good observation and simple solution to many on this web site. The problem of “invalid username or password’ lies in the php code. If you replace Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this,…… statement with the following :
  
  Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, response.trim()+”Invalid username or password”, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  
  you will be displayed with the error on your php code that needs correction.
  
  My salute goes to shayke,

add this to the error message toast for the invalid username :

, response.trim()+”Invalid username or password”

so it looks like this :

Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, response.trim()+”Invalid username or password”, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

what is your error now ?

This is an error code from your web server : The 403 Forbidden error is an HTTP status code which means that accessing the page or resource you were trying to reach is absolutely forbidden for some reason.

Hi
Great toutorial. Everything works.
But i have question about menu.
If logout is only one position in menu it works like it should, but when i add one more position it doesnt. There is no reaction on click, other 2 options works.

Code:
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.menuLogout:
if (id == R.id.menuLogout)
{
logout();
}
break;
case R.id.menulist:
Intent intent_menu_list = new Intent(this, ListActivity.class);
this.startActivity(intent_menu_list);
break;
case R.id.menuspot:
Intent intent_menu_add = new Intent(this, AddActivity.class);
this.startActivity(intent_menu_addspot);
break;

default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

return true;
}

Any sugestions ?

  I found it. in case R.id.menuLogout, remove “if”
  Maybe some one will need:
  
  public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
  case R.id.menuLogout:
  logout();
  return true;
  case R.id.menuPrefixlist:
  Intent intent_menu_prefixlist = new Intent(this, PrefixListActivity.class);
  this.startActivity(intent_menu_prefixlist);
  return true;
  case R.id.menuAddspot:
  Intent intent_menu_addspot = new Intent(this, AddSpotActivity.class);
  this.startActivity(intent_menu_addspot);
  return true;
  case R.id.menuHelp:
  Intent intent_menu_help = new Intent(this, HelpActivity.class);
  this.startActivity(intent_menu_help);
  return true;
  default:
  return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }
  }
