Google login not working for me

I installed the app on my phone through android studio by forking the project. It installed successfully without any issues on my Android 10 phone but when I open the app and login through Google, it doesn't show anything after that. Please help regarding this issue.
I have attached screenshot of Android studio also during the login process:

Update the font family

The font family currently used in the app doesn't really seem to be good. We can have better font for the texts.

Strings are hardcoded

I would like to put these strings in strings.xml

Minimum SDK level to be changed from 22 to 23

Can you assign me this issue?

idea files got into the project

add .idea/ to .gitignore file

Add logout button to profile fragment

remove logout text from main activity and add it to profile fragment, also remove the PROFILE text from the top of the fragment

Main Activity text does not fit for most current device sizes

Texts in the bottom Navigation Bar does not fit the screen sizes for many currently used device sizes, I would like to fix this Issue by removing the text, making icons a little big and having them in centre, and add a Toaster for the option names on long press. this way the UI will look more clean and minimal, as well as users can see name of the menu when they long click any button.

Please assign me this Issue, Thanks!

Create landscape variation for login activity

Some view elements get messed or not visible upon rotation

This issue is more common in low-resolution mobile devices.
Adding landscape variation would enhance the user experience.

Adding Contributor section in readme ( Automatically )

I will like to add a feature this will update contributor list in read me automatically !! Will start to work on this issue as soon as i get assigend !!

android.app.ProgressDialog' is deprecated as of API 26

android.app.ProgressDialog' is deprecated as of API 26
Class: LoginActivity

So it's better to use ProgressBar

PS i'm interested in fixing this issue

minSdkVersion is to high

In build gradle (module app) minSdkVersion is 26. That means that only users with android 8.0 will be able to install app. I suggest minSdkVersion 22: people with android 5.1 and above will be able to install app.
I can implement this

Update: com.ismaeldivita.chipnavigation:chip-navigation-bar requires minSdkVersion 23 - Android 6.0

Google login not working

Hello sir, when I was trying to login with google then after selecting the account nothing is happening. Could you please assign it to me under GSSOC'21?

Fix bug related to Google Sign In

Issue

After the user signs in with an ID, then he/she cannot log in with another one unless he/she clears the app data or reinstalls the app.

Expected Behaviour

Once the user logs out and if he/she wants to log in again, they should be prompt with a dialog for the account to be chosen on pressing the button without directly directing to the main activity with their previously logged account.

Basic Refactoring Required

As many people are contributing it, will be good if we can refactor our code into few packages like

1. Common - Having Main Activity ,Login Activity ,OTP verification , splash screen and all common items.
2. Fragments - Having all the frames and fragments under one package

Please Assign this to me and mark down accordingly.

Bottom navigation items' ids do not match with titles

Bottom navigation items' ids do not match with titles and create confusion during development.
in bottom_navigation.xml file there are items with ids: explore (title: explore), saved (title: jobhunt), news (title: HACKFEED), inbox (title: COMMUNITY), account (title: profile).
You can see that ids don't correspond with titles, which creates confusion.
I suggest changing ids like this:
id: jobhunt - title: jobhunt
id: hackfeed - title: HACKFEED
id: community - title: COMMUNITY
id: profile- title: profile

PS I want to fix this issue!

Enable progress dialog while logging in

Enhances user experience while logging in.

Add progress dialog to the following login options.
⦿ Google ⦿ Github ⦿ Email

Add Logout button to profile fragment

The logout textview in the main activity is located right in the centre of the screen which hinders the visibility of the contents inside the fragments that are associated with the navbar.

I prefer to have a floating action button on the top left of the screen so that it becomes compact and provides less hinderence. Also switching to any other view/view-group will be a better option.

Add fragment transition animation

Adding animation to fragments can improve the user experience of the navigation bar in the main activity

Add PR Template

Add a template for Pull Requests. For details switch to discord group

Add data for the backend

The database of this app is hosted on GitHub only as of now -

• https://github.com/CSwala/awesome-computer-science
• https://github.com/CSwala/awesome-career-pages

There are around 80 open issues in the above 2 repos.
We need to add as much data as we can.
This issue can be assigned to multiple participants at a time as is not at all related to any 1 tech stack. Participants from all sorts of technical expertise and background can contribute to this.

The package name is repeated

Your package name is repeated.
I suggest calling it com.cswala.appname
This is the standard naming convention for java packages. The first is com. Then the developer's name. Then the application name.

Adding a Email Login Option

When we use Google and Facebook Login the code is needed to be updated after a period of time. Login with email can be a substitution for this problem(if the code is not updated at least there would be one option available through which the user can log in to the app).

Change find ViewById to Binding

So that it doesn't have to find the view during run time n eventually makes it faster.

Create landscape variation for main activity

Adding landscape variation eliminates view elements getting messed or becoming inaccessible upon rotation

This issue is more common in low-resolution mobile devices.

I want to contribute to this functionality. I'll be storing the data in Firebase firestore and create a fragment with a search bar that will provide the resources stored on firebase for that particular tech.

@riturajjain2000 Can we add some cool animation stuff on splash screen rather than lottie animation...
It seems quite awkward, when that lottie animation suddenly shake its hand...

Adding a API and Fetch data

I think we need to Create a API . Where we can put list of YouTube channels or other Resources, Then we can fetch data From API.
it's Remove the burden of updating Resource list again and again , by Using API we have to just Update the list on server
