Cannot find symbol variable gso, Firebase Google authentication

I have a problem with adding Google authentication to my project. 

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_sign_up);
        signUpBtn = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.uSingUpBtn);


        mGoogleSignInClient = GoogleSignIn.getClient(this,gso); <<error: cannot find symbol variable so

Android Studio cannot find gso, I don't know why. Please help, or just let me know what 'gso' means. Thanks.

You are getting that error because GoogleSignIn's getClient(Context context, GoogleSignInOptions options) method, as you can see requires a GoogleSignInOptions object as the second parameter. So in order to create a GoogleSignInClient a GoogleSignInOptions object is needed.

To solve this, you can create that object like this:

GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN)
    .requestIdToken(getString(R.string.default_web_client_id))
    .requestEmail()
    .build();

Now, the following line of code will work:

mGoogleSignInClient = GoogleSignIn.getClient(this,gso);
