Android SDK

The ThunderID Android SDK provides two libraries for integrating authentication into your Android applications:

• dev.thunderid:android — Core authentication client with the full IAM API surface
• dev.thunderid:compose — Drop-in Jetpack Compose components built on top of dev.thunderid:android

Both libraries require a minimum SDK version of API 24 (Android 7.0).

Installation

build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
  implementation("dev.thunderid:compose:0.1.0") // includes :android automatically
}

build.gradle

dependencies {
  implementation 'dev.thunderid:compose:0.1.0'
}

Add the ThunderID Maven repository to your settings.gradle.kts:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        maven("https://maven.thunderid.dev/releases")
    }
}

Getting Started

To get started quickly, follow the Android Quickstart Guide for step-by-step setup instructions.

Quick Example

import androidx.activity.ComponentActivity
import androidx.activity.compose.setContent
import androidx.compose.material3.MaterialTheme
import dev.thunderid.android.ThunderIDConfig
import dev.thunderid.compose.LocalThunderID
import dev.thunderid.compose.ThunderIDProvider
import dev.thunderid.compose.components.actions.SignOutButton
import dev.thunderid.compose.components.guards.SignedIn
import dev.thunderid.compose.components.presentation.auth.SignIn

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            MaterialTheme {
                ThunderIDProvider(
                    config = ThunderIDConfig(
                        baseUrl = "https://localhost:8090",
                        clientId = "<your-client-id>",
                        scopes = listOf("openid", "profile", "email"),
                        afterSignInUrl = "dev.thunderid.quickstart://callback",
                        afterSignOutUrl = "dev.thunderid.quickstart://logout",
                        applicationId = "<your-application-id>"
                    )
                ) {
                    ContentView()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

@Composable
fun ContentView() {
    val thunder = LocalThunderID.current
    SignedIn {
        Column {
            Text("Welcome, ${thunder.user?.displayName ?: ""}!")
            SignOutButton()
        }
    }
}

Customization

The ThunderID Android SDK gives you full control over your application's authentication experience:

• Use SignIn and SignUp for pre-built forms, or BaseSignIn and BaseSignUp to render your own UI with the same Flow Execution loop
• Swap in BaseSignInButton and BaseSignOutButton to match your design system without touching any auth logic
• Provide a custom StorageAdapter to control where tokens are persisted (default: EncryptedStorageAdapter using Android Keystore AES-256-GCM)
• Override localized strings using ThunderIDI18n with your own translation bundles
