Users were abandoning the login process because the progress indicator would disappear after Google account selection but before Firebase authentication completed, making them think the login had failed.

Problem

The current login flow had a critical UX issue:

  1. User clicks "Sign in with Google" → progress bar appears ✅
  2. Google One Tap UI opens → progress bar continues ✅
  3. User selects account → progress bar disappears
  4. Firebase authentication runs → no visual feedback
  5. Authentication completes → user redirected (if they waited)

This happened because the googleSignInLauncher callback was always hiding the progress bar regardless of success/failure, but Firebase authentication still needed to complete.

Solution

Fixed progress bar visibility logic:

  • Progress bar now stays visible throughout the entire authentication flow
  • Only hide progress indicators when Firebase authentication actually completes
  • Added descriptive "Signing you in..." text for better user feedback

Improved messaging:

  • Replaced confusing "Use the invited email to unlock most of the features" with friendly "Your AI assistant for Android"
  • Added clear loading state with descriptive text

Code Changes

// Before: Progress hidden too early
googleSignInLauncher = registerForActivityResult(...) { result ->
    // ... process result ...
    progressBar.visibility = View.GONE  // ❌ Always hidden here
}

// After: Progress persists until Firebase completes  
googleSignInLauncher = registerForActivityResult(...) { result ->
    if (result.resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        firebaseAuthWithGoogle(googleIdToken)  // Keep progress visible
    } else {
        progressBar.visibility = View.GONE     // Only hide on error
    }
}

private fun firebaseAuthWithGoogle(idToken: String) {
    firebaseAuth.signInWithCredential(credential)
        .addOnCompleteListener { task ->
            progressBar.visibility = View.GONE  // ✅ Hide when actually done
            // ... handle success/failure
        }
}

Impact

  • Users now see continuous visual feedback throughout the entire login process
  • Clear messaging eliminates confusion about login status
  • Reduced abandonment rate during authentication
  • Better overall user experience with minimal code changes

Fixes #211.
