Expected Results:

Not crash

Relevant Code:

Here is the code we use to kick off the Auth:

AuthUI.IdpConfig facebookIdp = new AuthUI.IdpConfig.Builder(AuthUI.FACEBOOK_PROVIDER)
                            .setPermissions(Arrays.asList("email"))
                            .build();

// go to sign in to authenticate user
startActivityForResult(
                            AuthUI.getInstance()
                                    .createSignInIntentBuilder()
                                    .setProviders(Arrays.asList(
                                            new AuthUI.IdpConfig.Builder(AuthUI.EMAIL_PROVIDER).build(),
                                            new AuthUI.IdpConfig.Builder(AuthUI.GOOGLE_PROVIDER).build(),
                                            facebookIdp)
                                    )
                                    .setTosUrl("http://example.com/terms")
                                    .setIsSmartLockEnabled(false)
                                    .setTheme(R.style.ExampleSignInTheme)
                                    .setLogo(R.drawable.logo_example)
                                    .build(),
                            RC_SIGN_IN);

In case needed, here is the theme definition in xml:

    <style name="ExampleSignInTheme" parent="FirebaseUI">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    </style>

I can see where in the library code the exception is thrown (ActivityHelper.java line 38) but I cannot see why it would happen. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If you're still there, does this happen on the latest version of the library?

[WillieCubed]

I think this has been fixed with the refactoring introduced in #777, so we should close this issue.
