Authentication

Authenticate as a driver with Bringg Cloud Platform Services

Suggest Edits

Overview

Before you can start using other DriverSdk features you must authenticate the user with Bringg Platform Cloud Services.

Bringg Driver SDK provides several ways to authenticate the user with Bringg Platform Cloud Services.
The authentication state is persisted automatically by the SDK for you so login is usually a once in a lifetime operation.

Bringg Platform may logout a user remotely, in such case the SDK will automatically become offline and notify the implementation using LiveData, and immediately after will logout and notify the implementation using LiveData .

Observe authentication state

Login state can be observed using a LiveData object obtained from DriverSdk:

val driverSdk = DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk
driverSdk.data.login.observeForever { isLoggedIn ->
    if (isLoggedIn) {
        Log.i(TAG,"user is authenticated with Bringg Cloud Services")
    } else {
        Log.i(TAG,"user is not authenticated, use driverSdk.login to login")
    }
}

Authentication Methods

You can use the following methods to manage the authentication and login state for the driver:

📘

All login methods return asynchronous result using a DriverLoginResult callback.

All result callbacks are returned on the main thread.

Login with Bringg token and secret

Bringg Plaftorm and Bringg Driver SDK support authentication by generating a login token and secret which can be for example rendered as QR code to be scanned by the user for authenticating.

DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk.authentication.loginWithTokenAndSecret(region, token, secret, object : ResultCallback<DriverLoginResult> {
    override fun onResult(result: DriverLoginResult) {
        if (result.success) {
            Log.i(TAG, "user is successfully authentication with Bringg, DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk.data.login will post TRUE")
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG,"user authentication failed, error=${result.error}")
        }
    }
})

Login to a specific merchant

A driver on Bringg Plaftom may sometimes be associated with more than a single merchant (a driver having the same email+password or same phone number for multiple Bringg Platform merchants).
When such driver tries to login the login methods will return the failure result MULTIPLE_MERCHANTS with a populated collection of the available LoginMerchant models on Bringg Platform that the user is associated with to enable the implementation to pick the desiered account and continue the login flow using Login with email and password to a specific merchant or Login with phone number and verification code to a specific merchant

Login with email and password to a specific merchant

This method is used to login to a specific merchant in case that Login with email and password returned a failure result MULTIPLE_MERCHANTS with a list of the available merchants on Bringg Platform that the user is associated with.
On that case the result will populate userMerchantList collection object in the result with the available LoginMerchant models for the implementation to pick from and call this method to login.

DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk.authentication.loginWithEmail(email, password, merchant, object : ResultCallback<DriverLoginResult> {
    override fun onResult(result: DriverLoginResult) {
        if (result.success) {
            Log.i(TAG, "user is successfully authentication with Bringg, DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk.data.login will post TRUE")
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG,"user authentication failed, error=${result.error}")
        }
    }
})

Parameters

user email address

password

String

NOT NULLABLE

callback

ResultCallback<DriverLoginResult>

Login with phone number and verification code to a specific merchant

This method is used to login to a specific merchant in case that Login with phone number and verification code returned a failure result MULTIPLE_MERCHANTS with a list of the available merchants on Bringg Platform that the user is associated with.
On that case the result will populate userMerchantList collection object in the result with the available LoginMerchant models for the implementation to pick from and call this method to login.

DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk.authentication.loginWithPhone(phone, verificationCode, merchant, object : ResultCallback<DriverLoginResult> {
    override fun onResult(result: DriverLoginResult) {
        if (result.success) {
            Log.i(TAG, "user is successfully authentication with Bringg, DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk.data.login will post TRUE")
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG,"user authentication failed, error=${result.error}")
        }
    }
})

Parameters

phone

String

user phone number

verificationCode

String

NOT NULLABLE

verification code see requestPhoneVerificationCode

merchant

LoginMerchant

NOT NULLABLE

the specific merchant to login to

callback

ResultCallback<DriverLoginResult>

NOT NULLABLE

receive DriverLoginResult model with the action result

Login using OpenID Connect protocol

Bringg Plaftom and Bringg Driver SDK supports user authentication using Open ID Connect protocol.
Merchant may be configured on Bringg Platform to restrict user authentication to OIDC protocol only.
When trying to login a user to such merchant the login methods will return a result with error LOGIN_WITH_OIDC and a populated OpenIdConnectLoginConfig model with the required data for OIDC authentication process that should be done by the implementation. OIDC protocol will return a token to the implementation which should call this method to continue the login flow using OIDC.

DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk.authentication.loginWithOIDCToken(region, token, object : ResultCallback<DriverLoginResult> {
    override fun onResult(result: DriverLoginResult) {
        if (result.success) {
            Log.i(TAG, "user is successfully authentication with Bringg, DriverSdkProvider.driverSdk.data.login will post TRUE")
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG,"user authentication failed, error=${result.error}")
        }
    }
})

Parameters

region

String

NOT NULLABLE

the region on Bringg Platform that you are trying to login to. This value is provided to the implementation on the DriverLoginResult model OpenIdConnectLoginConfig.region

token

String

NOT NULLABLE

authentication token that was retrived from your OIDC implementation

callback

ResultCallback<DriverLoginResult>

NOT NULLABLE

receive DriverLoginResult model with the action result

DriverLoginResult

Model containing the authentication results

Parameters

success

Boolean

NOT NULLABLE

was the user successfuly authenticated with Bringg Platform Cloud Services.

When success=TRUE LiveData driverSdk.data.login will post TRUE value

When success=FALSE DriverLoginResult.Error will be populated with error enum indicating the failure reason

error

DriverLoginResult.Error?

NULLABLE

In case of authentication failure (success = FALSE) this will indicate the reason for the failure.

userMerchantList

Collection<LoginMerchant>

NOT NULLABLE

Only populated when success = FALSE and error = MULTIPLE_MERCHANTS

in case of authentication failure (success = false) with error *MULTIPLE_MERCHANTS* this collection will be populated with the available merchants associated with the login details. Implementation should call Login with email and password to a specific merchant or Login with phone number and verification code to a specific merchant to continue the authentication flow for a specific merchant (represented by the model *LoginMerchant*) from this collection

openIdConnectLoginConfig

OpenIdConnectLoginConfig?

Only populated when success = FALSE and error = LOGIN_WITH_OIDC

NULLABLE

in case of authentication failure (success = false) with error *LOGIN_WITH_OIDC* this model will be populated with the required data for OIDC authentication process. implementation should use OIDC protocol to obtain the required token and use it to call Login using OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol
