                    FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
                    Intent i=new Intent(Login.this,MainScreen.class);

    Firebase automatically persists the user information in local storage, and (also automatically) restores it when the app starts.

    You should be seeing the signed in user when you check FirebaseAuth.getInstance().currentUser, but if somehow that doesn’t immediately work for you, consider implementing an auth state listener.

    Your code implementation is fine, what you have to do is redirect the user to your main screen after checking if user is already signed in at application startup. Something like

    FirebaseUser currentUser = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
    if (currentUser == null) {
        // Route to login page
    } else {
        // Route to home page
    }
}

    and for your logout function:

    public void signOut{
  FirebaseAuth.getInstance().signOut();
  //Route to login page
}

    Or

    Instead of checking mAuth.getCurrentUser() you could use sharedpreferences to save something like loggedIn:true when user logs in and on startup check if true and redirect to home page and on logout make this loggedIn:false
