SetProviders Method is marked deprecated

Question

I am Developing Firebase android application following tutorial of Udacity.

The setProviders method is marked deprecated by IDE, after going through documentation i was unable to find the solution. Is there any way out to solve the problem. Here is the code:

    mMessagesDatabaseReference.addChildEventListener(mChildEventListener);
    mAuthStateListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth) {
            FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
            if (user != null){
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"You are signed in, Welcome", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }else{
               startActivityForResult(
                       AuthUI.getInstance()
                                        .createSignInIntentBuilder()
                                        .setIsSmartLockEnabled(false)
                                        .setProviders(
                                                AuthUI.EMAIL_PROVIDER,
                                                AuthUI.GOOGLE_PROVIDER
                                                )
                                        .build(),
                                        RC_SIGN_IN);
            }
        }
    };

}

UPDATE: You can now use setAvailableProviders() instead of the deprecated setProviders()

Usage Example:

startActivityForResult(
    AuthUI.getInstance()
            .createSignInIntentBuilder()
            .setAvailableProviders(Arrays.asList(
                    new AuthUI.IdpConfig.EmailBuilder().build(),
                    new AuthUI.IdpConfig.GoogleBuilder().build(),
                    new AuthUI.IdpConfig.FacebookBuilder().build()))
            .build(),
    RC_SIGN_IN);

The solution below will work but has been deprecated:

I'm also following the same tutorial and ended up here searching for the solution. I tried to find a solution myself and have found it. There are two overloaded method for setProviders(). The one with setProviders(String... providers) is deprecated. I used setProviders(List < IdpConfig > idpConfigs). Below is the code:

First create a List instance of IdpConfig, do this where you create instance of FirebaseDatabase. In other words, do this outside of all methods and inside your class.

List<AuthUI.IdpConfig> providers;

Write this in your onCreate() :

providers = new ArrayList<>();

Then replace your code with this:

mMessagesDatabaseReference.addChildEventListener(mChildEventListener);
mAuthStateListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth) {
            FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
            if (user != null){
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"You are signed in, Welcome", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }else {
                providers.add(new AuthUI.IdpConfig.Builder(AuthUI.EMAIL_PROVIDER).build());
                providers.add(new AuthUI.IdpConfig.Builder(AuthUI.GOOGLE_PROVIDER).build());
                startActivityForResult(
                        AuthUI.getInstance()
                        .createSignInIntentBuilder()
                                .setIsSmartLockEnabled(false)
                                .setProviders(providers)
                        .build(),
                        RC_SIGN_IN);
            }
        }
    };

You're done! Have a good day :)

Just replace "setProvider" with "setAvailableProviders", it will work.
