View Reference

Clerk offers a comprehensive suite of views designed to seamlessly integrate authentication and multi-tenancy into your application. With Clerk views, you can easily customize the appearance of authentication views and pages, manage the entire authentication flow to suit your specific needs, and even build robust SaaS applications.

Clerk views

  • AuthView - Renders a full authentication interface, supporting multiple sign-up and sign-in methods, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and password recovery flows.
  • UserButton - Displays the signed-in user's profile image.
  • UserProfileView - Renders a complete user profile interface with personal information, security settings, account switching, and sign-out options.

Installation

The Clerk Android SDK is now split into two packages:

  • com.clerk:clerk-android-api - The core Clerk SDK for authentication and user management.
  • com.clerk:clerk-android-ui - The Clerk UI components for authentication and user management.

The com.clerk:clerk-android-ui pulls the com.clerk:clerk-android-api package as a dependency, so you only need to add the com.clerk:clerk-android-ui package to your dependencies if you're using Clerk's UI components.

dependencies {
    // Only if you're using the Clerk API without the Clerk UI components
    implementation("com.clerk:clerk-android-api:<latest-version>")
    
    implementation("com.clerk:clerk-android-ui:<latest-version>")
}

You can find the latest version of the Clerk Android SDK on the GitHub release page.

Customization

To learn how to customize Clerk views, see the dedicated guide.

If Clerk's prebuilt views don't meet your specific needs or if you require more control over the logic, you can rebuild the existing Clerk flows using the Clerk API. For more information, see the custom flow guides.

Secured by Clerk branding

This feature requires a paid plan for production use, but all features are free to use in development mode so that you can try out what works for you. See the pricing page for more information.

By default, Clerk displays a Secured by Clerk badge on Clerk views. You can remove this branding by following these steps:

  1. In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to your application's Settings.
  2. Under Branding, toggle on the Remove "Secured by Clerk" branding option.
