Logging in and out Vipaso Customer and Business users

This guide shows how to implement login/logout flows for both Customer and Business users using the Android SDK.

Prerequisites​

Customer — Login​

Authenticate a customer user with identifier (email or phone) and password. The SDK securely stores the session.

Important: Only call this method when the customer is not authenticated. Check authentication state first using Vipaso.user.customer.isAuthenticated().

// First check if already authenticated
if (!Vipaso.user.customer.isAuthenticated()) {
    val loginRequest = LoginRequest(
        identifier = "user@example.com", // email or phone
        password = "secure_password"
    )
    
    try {
        Vipaso.user.customer.login(loginRequest)
        // Success: user can now access Customer features
    } catch (e: Throwable) {
        // Handle authentication error
    }
}

Customer — Logout​

Vipaso.user.customer.logout()

Customer — Authentication State​

Observe whether the customer is authenticated.

Vipaso.user.customer.isAuthenticated()
    .collect { authenticated ->
        if (authenticated) {
            // Show main app content
        } else {
            // User is not logged in, show login screen
        }
    }

Business — Login​

Authenticate a business user with identifier (email or phone) and password. The SDK securely stores the session.

Important: Only call this method when the business is not authenticated. Check authentication state first using Vipaso.user.business.isAuthenticated().

// First check if already authenticated
if (!Vipaso.user.business.isAuthenticated()) {
    val loginRequest = LoginRequest(
        identifier = "business@example.com", // email or phone
        password = "securePassword"
    )
    
    try {
        Vipaso.user.business.login(loginRequest)
        // Success: user can now access Business features
    } catch (e: Throwable) {
        // Handle authentication error
    }
}

Business — Logout​

Vipaso.user.business.logout()

Business — Authentication State​

Vipaso.user.business.isAuthenticated()
    .collect { authenticated ->
        if (authenticated) {
            // Show main app content
        } else {
            // User is not logged in, show login screen
        }
    }
