Interface AuthenticationView

public interface AuthenticationView

An AuthenticationView is an interface that defines how a user can connect with Gluon CloudLink, by using one of the available login methods that are defined in the application. Implementations will usually show up a list of buttons that each represent one of these login methods. When a login method is clicked, it could show a web page that starts the connect flow by loading the login method's connect URL.

The UserClient will try to create an AuthenticationView instance by loading the class that is defined in the system property com.gluonhq.cloudlink.client.user.AuthenticationView. If the system property is not defined, it will try to load the default Gluon Mobile implementation, which is based on Glisten.
