Default phone #906

Implement phone Auth flow Phone number configuration parameter.
Related issue #887

SUPERCILEX · 2017-09-12T20:36:49Z

@yramanchuk I believe the result of that issue was that FirebaseUI isn't going to support this kind of flow. Could you explain why you already have a phone number? The user should be giving that to FirebaseUI in the auth flow, not to you directly. Hope this clears things up! 😄

ashwinraghav · 2017-09-12T22:20:45Z

@yramanchuk I think the issue that is linked to may not be completely comparable.

@SUPERCILEX The problem we are addressing is rooted in the fact that Firebase UI currently does not support 2FA (Say Facebook + Phone Auth). To work around this, apps that wish to use phone as the second factor can use Facebook login on their own outside Firebase UI and then use Firebase UI for the second factor phone auth.
This change helps apps that "know" the second factor phone number given a Facebook account, particularly when a user is logging into their secondary device like a tablet. Hope that helps.

yramanchuk · 2017-09-12T22:26:00Z

@ashwinraghav Thanks for the clarification.
@SUPERCILEX here's another example: application may have multi-dialog account creation flow and they have already requested user to enter his phone number, so they would like to show phone verification dialog with pre-filled phone number.

Here's related FirebaseUI-iOS issue: firebase/FirebaseUI-iOS#306
This request is required for the feature parity: firebase/FirebaseUI-iOS#334

I feel like introducing a config per for phone auth provider leaves me desiring symmetry for such a config in other providers.

Also, the type safety that this implementation gives is hard to enforce in a backward compatible way. This leads to unsafe typecasting like the one made in

FirebaseUI-Android/auth/src/main/java/com/firebase/ui/auth/ui/idp/AuthMethodPickerActivity.java

Line 118 in d1da327

PhoneIdpConfig phoneIdpConfig = (PhoneIdpConfig) idpConfig;

My suggestion would be to introduce a Bundle parameter into the existing IdpConfig that yields an API that would look like:

Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString(AuthUI.PHONE_VERIFICATION_PROVIDER.DEFAULT_PHONE_EXTRA, "+16478488383");

new AuthUI.IdpConfig.Builder(AuthUI.PHONE_PROVIDER).setParams(bundle).build()) and wire it into the providers from that point on.

@ashwinraghav Thhank's for the suggestion. I was thinking about extending existing IdpConfig but in that case were are adding changes to all configs (Google, Facebook) and they they don't need that parameter.

Anyway I think your solution is more elegant. I just want to propose to use List of Bundles instead of just Bundle:

AuthUI.IdpConfig.Builder(AuthUI.PHONE_PROVIDER).setParams(List).build())

In that case we can pass multiple params.
@ashwinraghav what do you think?

This is a minor point, but I think putting a random phone number into the sample will cause confusion. Many people will want to use this sample to test phone auth with their real number.

This type of example snippet belongs in the README.

Moved to README, let me know if you don't think it's in an appropriate location.

+                            PhoneVerificationActivity.createIntent(getContext(), flowParams, phone),


This createIntent call uses ExtraConstants.EXTRA_PHONE. We should unify the values between this and AuthUI.PHONE_VERIFICATION_DEFAULT_PHONE_EXTRA.

I'd suggest:

class AuthUI { // ... public static final String EXTRA_DEFAULT_PHONE = ExtraConstants.EXTRA_PHONE; // ... }

That's reasonable, made your suggested change.

samtstern · 2017-09-13T18:46:49Z

@SUPERCILEX the main reason for supporting this flow is feature parity with what Digits used to offer. We are telling all Digits developers to move to FirebaseUI and some of them noticed this missing feature.

You are right though, it was not a flow we originally intended to support. Ashwin and Yury have provided some examples where it can be very useful though.

Doesn't Bundle already have a toString() with very similar behavior?

Yeah, just check the source and Bundle#toString() calls mMap.toString(). I'm assuming the formatting will be a little bit different, but the output should be effectively the same.

Ah, did not realize that. Switched to the Bundle toString.

To be consistent, we shouldn't statically import this and instead use AuthUI.EXTRA_DEFAULT_PHONE.

This same logic is used above so we should probably extract a firstIdpConfig and replace firstProvider with the method call.

Good point, done.

This should be in.readBundle(getClass().getClassLoader()) to make the build pass. Since we're just passing in strings right now we don't actually need this, but it'll ensure we're future proof (and make lint happy).

Ah, just noticed the CONTRIBUTING.md file. Apologies - just beginning contribution to the library and obviously wasn't paying full attention. Made the change and build should be passing now. Thanks for the review by the way!
