Ping SDKs

Authentication journey quick start for Android

In this quick start tutorial you update one of our sample applications to connect to your PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud tenant or PingAM server to authenticate a user.

The app steps through a simple authentication journey and returns a session token. The app is then able to obtain user info from the server, and finally sign out to terminate the session.

To learn how to create an app from scratch to authenticate your users, try the Authentication journey deep-dive tutorial for Android.

Before you begin

Before you begin this tutorial ensure you have set up your PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud tenant or PingAM server with the required configuration.

For example, you will need an OAuth 2.0 client application set up, as well as an authentication journey for the app to navigate.
