Get user number using intent request not working?

Question

I am justing trying to get phone number using GetPhoneNumberHintIntentRequest to replace HintRequest. So just trying to follow google developer doc https://developers.google.com/identity/phone-number-hint/android#kotlin_2. But after following doc I feel this doc is incomplete.

  val phoneNumberHintIntentResultLauncher: ActivityResultLauncher<Intent> =
    registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) { result ->
        try {
            val phoneNumber = Identity.getSignInClient(requireActivity()).getPhoneNumberFromIntent(result.data)
        } catch(e: Exception) {
        }
  }

So as per doc you need to pass intent to phoneNumberHintIntentResultLauncher but there is no method inside GetPhoneNumberHintIntentRequest.

Even if you see doc then you realise that you need to replace signInClient to getSignInClient.

If any one know about above issue then let me know or any doc where I can achieve my goal.

Me too facing the same issue when I tried to update the deprecated code of the phone selector API. It does seem like the doc is incomplete about the new API setup. Please do share the solution if you find it. Thank you! — sHaRkBoY, Jun 08 '22 at 12:51

Have been facing this recently.

Please change the result launcher type as follows.

    val resultLauncher: ActivityResultLauncher<IntentSenderRequest> = registerForActivityResult(StartIntentSenderForResult()) { result ->
        try {
            val phoneNumber = Identity.getSignInClient(requireActivity()).getPhoneNumberFromIntent(result.data)
            // Do something with the number
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Phone Number Hint failed")
        }

And launch the intent as

    ...
    .addOnSuccessListener { request: PendingIntent ->
            try {
                resultLauncher.launch(IntentSenderRequest.Builder(request).build())
            } catch(e: Exception) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Launching the PendingIntent failed")
            }
        }
    ...

The document is indeed incomplete as it seems.

Using StartIntentSenderForResult works. Thanks. – Murat Keskin Jun 17 '22 at 19:06
I am always getting ->"Phone Number Hint failed" it goes in addOnFailureListener { (Log.e("TAG", "Phone Number Hint failed")) }. Tried on different android OS level's – user1537457 Oct 23 '22 at 13:26

it says 16: No phone number is found on this device. Even though the device has valid numbers available. – user1537457 Nov 27 '22 at 05:54

I have 2 numbers in my device, but showing only one phone number using SignInClient.getPhoneNumberHintIntent(). But by using hintRequest able to get both phone numbers – SmartAndroidian Feb 22 '23 at 02:52
I can see different results for GetPhoneNumberHintIntentRequest and HintRequest intent – Narayan soni May 23 '23 at 12:26

// initialise above onCreate

private ActivityResultLauncher<IntentSenderRequest> someActivityResultLauncher;

// declare in onCreate

private void phoneSelection() {
        GetPhoneNumberHintIntentRequest request =  GetPhoneNumberHintIntentRequest.builder().build();
        Identity.getSignInClient(RegistrationActivity.this)
                .getPhoneNumberHintIntent(request)
                .addOnFailureListener(e -> {
                    Toast.makeText(activity, "Error : "+e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }).addOnSuccessListener(pendingIntent -> {
                    IntentSenderRequest intentSenderRequest = new IntentSenderRequest.Builder(pendingIntent.getIntentSender()).build();
                    someActivityResultLauncher.launch(intentSenderRequest);
                });
    }

// declare in onCreate

private void resultLauncher() {
        someActivityResultLauncher = registerForActivityResult(new ActivityResultContracts.StartIntentSenderForResult(), result -> {
            try {
                String phoneNumber = Identity.getSignInClient(RegistrationActivity.this).getPhoneNumberFromIntent(result.getData());
                binding.editNumber.setText(phoneNumber.substring(3)); //get the selected phone
            } catch (ApiException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                Toast.makeText(activity, "Error : "+ e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
    }
