Empty email field of Firebase Auth User using Facebook Login Integration (Firebase 3.0)


I have successfully deployed tutorial code from https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/android/facebook-login for integrating Firebase Auth logins with Facebook. The users successfully created in Firebase Auth console.

However, I noticed that the Email field in the user object is empty (—). Strangely, I successfully retrieved the email information directly from provider result objects using GraphRequest using the acquired token.

Based on the documentation I read (https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/auth/FirebaseUser.html#getEmail()), the email field should be populated from login providers.

Some additional strange behaviour:

  1. After successful login, the onAuthStateChanged is called twice. The value of firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser().getProviderId() is Firebase on both occasion
  2. I try to list down the providers from the FirebaseUser object, user.getProviderData(). I got two providers: firebase and facebook.com
  3. When I tried to update email using FirebaseUser.updateEmail(event.getEmail()), I got this error: An internal error has occurred. [ EMAIL_EXISTS ]

Is there something I miss or did I do something wrong?

Here's my code:

public class LoginActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private static final String TAG = "LOGIN_ACTIVITY";
    private static final int RC_SIGN_IN = 777;

                final FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
                if (user != null) {
                    // User is signed in
                    Util.logassert("Auth Provider = " + firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser().getProviderId()); // this is called twice, values of Provider = Firebase 
                    Util.logassert("total provider = " + user.getProviderData().size()); // output = 2. "Firebase" and "facebook.com"
                    for (int i = 0; i < user.getProviderData().size(); i++) {
                        UserInfo info = user.getProviderData().get(i);
                        Util.logassert(info.getProviderId() + ", email = " + info.getEmail()); // both empty

Solution

  • after reading post in firebase-talk google group here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/firebase-talk/gPGNq-IkTLo, I found out the answer. The issue was happened because I'm using "Allow creation of multiple accounts with the same email address" in Firebase Auth sign-in method.

    So I change the option into: "Prevent creation of multiple accounts with the same email address" can it's working properly now. It's simple as that. It's true I need more logic to merge accounts having the same email address, but it's okay.

    Maybe everyone else having the same issue, can also try this, and hopefully it's solved as well.
