Hi, can i convert this Firebase Phone Auth code to coroutines friendly, in below method i have two options first is that i can scope this call to activity and second is that i can add some Executor(which i don't know how works). but here i don't want this request to be scoped on Activity because i don't want this request inside Activity instead i want to move it inside ViewModel or Repository.

phoneAuth.verifyPhoneNumber(
number, 1, TimeUnit.MINUTES,
executor or Activity // but here i don't wanna scope it to activity instead i want to use it inside ViewModel using coroutines
,authCallback)

You can create an executor that dispatches to a coroutine dispatcher.

@louiscad do you have any docs about it or any sample code, because i did not worked with executors

[louiscad]

You'll also need suspendCancellableCoroutine to wrap the callback.
@Kulwinder Singh If it's still "not working", please specific about what doesn't work exactly and what you tried.

I thought about it but what should i use at place of executor/activity parameter those are not nullable

[louiscad]

Executor is interface, look. You can implement it and pass the runnables to a coroutine dispatcher.

as usual terrible API from Firebase
Attempt to make thing easier for “common developer” ™ makes thinks awkward for real developers

[gildor]

it even doesn’t follow other similar APIs from Google, which usually use Handler to deliver result

[gildor]

anyway, use Executor is right solution in this case, just implement it (as i see, it even may be empty, no need to dispatch)
