Account management page

[alfongj]

It would be nice to have a built in component that allows users to manage their account. Specifically the functionality could be:

• Change password (if you had one)
  Error conditions:
  • Invalid password (e.g. too short, empty)
  • Requires reauth (user signed-in more than 5 min ago, this could be solved if the old passwd is always required)
  • General internal error (network req, expired user, etc)
• Add/Change email
  Error conditions:
  • Invalid email (e.g. exists already, invalid format)
  • Requires reauth (user sign-in more than 5 min ago -> should be handled by asking the user to reauthenticate with one of the providers they have linked)
  • General internal error
• View linked accounts and unlink them.
  Error conditions:
  • General internal error
• Style customization (same as authentication flows)

I am working internally with a designer to obtain UX mocks for this.

It would be great if you added account name change and user photo change, perhaps using glide and optional firebase storage support. BTW great work on the library!

[krisu7]

On second thought, provide option to change photo through intent and startActivityForResult perhaps? This way developer can use some sort of image cropping library, upload photo themselves and return link for UI to show.

@krisu7 thanks for the input. If the profile page does include photo support, I think you're right that an Intent with result is the most flexible method.

Hey,
I wanted a profile management in my app and went ahead and implemented it.
It looks sth like this :

Let me know what are your thoughts?

@the-dagger I'm curious, how are you making the circle image view?

[samtstern]

@the-dagger nice! That looks good. We are currently working on an account management page for FBUI, it will likely be our next big UI-based feature.

@SUPERCILEX I've had a lot of success using this library: https://github.com/hdodenhof/CircleImageView

@the-dagger I see that you originally submitted #519. Thanks for bringing the discussion to issues before submitting a PR. Right now we're finishing the UX designs for our account management page so we wouldn't accept a PR for that feature.

[SUPERCILEX]

@samtstern cool, that's what I use in my app! So you'd be fine with including it in FirebaseUI?
