Google Sign-In in Android Kotlin App Returns RESULT_CANCELED After Account Selection

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm working on a Kotlin Android Studio project where I implement Google Sign-In for authentication.
I have set up Firebase with the correct SHA1 and SHA-256, updated the google-services.json file in my project, and created an OAuth client in Google Cloud (using the provided email as default_web_client_id).
Although the Google sign-in popup appears, when I click on an account, the activity immediately shuts down and returns RESULT_CANCELED.

I have included my code below for reference, and any help would be appreciated as I'm relatively new to Android development:

KOTLIN
auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance() val db = Firebase.firestore val gso = GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN) .requestIdToken(getString(R.string.default_web_client_id)) .requestEmail() .build() googleSignInClient = GoogleSignIn.getClient(this, gso) findViewById<Button>(R.id.btnSignInWithGoogle).setOnClickListener { signInWithGoogle() } /// Functions private fun signInWithGoogle() { val signInIntent = googleSignInClient.signInIntent launcher.launch(signInIntent) } private val launcher = registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) {result -> if(result.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){ val task = GoogleSignIn.getSignedInAccountFromIntent(result.data) handleResults(task) } else if (result.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED){ } } private fun handleResults(task: Task<GoogleSignInAccount>) { if (task.isSuccessful) { val account: GoogleSignInAccount? = task.result updateUI(account) } else { updateUI(null) } } private fun updateUI(account: GoogleSignInAccount?) { if (account != null) { val credential = GoogleAuthProvider.getCredential(account.idToken, null) auth.signInWithCredential(credential).addOnCompleteListener { if (it.isSuccessful) { Log.d(TAG, "signInWithGoogle: Firebase authentication successful") val intent = Intent(this, Register::class.java) startActivity(intent) finish() } else { Log.w(TAG, "signInWithGoogle: Firebase authentication failed", it.exception) Toast.makeText( baseContext, "Authentication failed: ${it.exception?.message}", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show() } } } else { Log.w(TAG, "Google account is null") Toast.makeText(this, "Google account is null", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show() } }

Below are some common troubleshooting steps for getting RESULT_CANCELED when signing in with Google in your Android/Kotlin app:

1. Verify the Client ID

Make sure that the value in your strings.xml for default_web_client_id is the full web client ID (of the form something like "1234567890-abcde.apps.googleusercontent.com") and not an email or any other value. This value must match the OAuth 2.0 client ID for your Web app that is generated in the Firebase console.

2. Confirm SHA Fingerprints and google‑services.json

Double‑check that you’ve added both the SHA‑1 and SHA‑256 fingerprints in the Firebase console. Also verify that the google‑services.json file you pasted into your Android Studio project is the latest one and is placed in the correct module (usually the app folder).

3. Check Google Cloud Project Setup

Ensure that the OAuth consent screen and OAuth client (for Web) are correctly configured within your Google Cloud Console. The client ID used has to be issued for a Web application so that Firebase Auth can verify the token issued from Google Sign‑In.

4. Examine Logs and Exceptions

Review Logcat output for any error messages when the account is selected. The logs might give more detail (for example, issues with the token, invalid configuration, or network errors).

5. Revisit the Code Flow

Your provided code looks similar to the standard sample. Just make sure that:

  • You initialize FirebaseAuth correctly.
  • The launch intent is created from the GoogleSignInClient.
  • In your Activity's callback, you handle the result from GoogleSignIn.getSignedInAccountFromIntent(result.data).

If the user cancels the sign‑in or if account selection fails due to a misconfiguration, you may get RESULT_CANCELED.

Example Correction (strings.xml)

Make sure your strings.xml has a proper client ID:

XML
<resources> <!-- Replace the value with your actual Web client ID --> <string name="default_web_client_id">1234567890-abcde.apps.googleusercontent.com</string> </resources>

Summary

Most likely your issue is related to the wrong value for default_web_client_id or a misconfiguration of your OAuth client. Verify your credentials and ensure that your Firebase project and Google Cloud Console have matching settings. Once these details are confirmed, your sign‑in flow should complete successfully instead of being canceled.

This typically happens on a device/emulator if you haven't logged in to a Google account in the Play Store/Chrome. Make sure your emulator has Google Play store, login to a Google account by opening chrome or Play Store and then run your app again to see if it works.
