Java – Google Firebase Authentication Android Studio

I’m trying to configure a new Google Firebase authentication in my app.

When running the following command in the button’s OnClickListener, I get canresolve 'addOnCOmpleteListener'.

If I move the firebase call out of the button onClickListener, I get an error

I don’t quite understand why the method can’t be accessed from the button call

Any help would be appreciated

 If sign in fails, display a message to the user. If sign in succeeds

                                 signed in user can be handled in the listener.
                                if (!task.isSuccessful()) {
                                    Log.w("LOG_Login", "signInWithEmail", task.getException());
                                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Authentication failed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                                }

// ...
                            }
                        });
            }
        });

}
}

I’m using Android Studio 2.2

I created a project in Firebase

I have connected my application to this in the GUI

If i move the firebase call out of the buttons onClickListener then the error goes,

I cant quite understand why the method is not accessible from within the button call

Because this is a click listener in the anonymous class.

This method requires an activity as the first parameter of addOnCompleteListener, not OnClickListener.

.addOnCompleteListener(LoginActivity.this, ...
