The login screen is created via the Login Activity inside the com.github.mobile.accounts namespace. The layout used is the R.layout.login. The login flow uses Android Accounts services to create a Github account on the Android device on behalf of the Forkhub app. For form validation, the Login activity uses the combineLatest operator from RxJava to react to input events from the EditText and perform validation. The _loginEnabled boolean variable keeps track of whether the login button and action are enabled or not. The AccountAuthenticator mechanism required by Android Accounts service is implemented by the com.github.mobile.accounts.AccountAuthenticator and com.github.mobile.accounts.AccountAuthenticatorService classes.
