In Firebase 9.0.0 API, how to check the user has valid Auth session or not?

[Karthi R]

In legacy Firebase API, I was using "mFirebase.getAuth().getExpires()" to validate the user session. But in new Firebase 9.0.0 API, I couldn't find such validation.

Right now I'm checking the availability of Auth session as below,

public static boolean hasValidAuthToken() {
    return FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser() != null ? true : false;
}

How can I handle this, if the token got expired?

Thanks in advance!

You should not need to check for token expiry to check to see if you have a valid session.

If FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser() returns a non-null FirebaseUser instance, you should be good to go.

We will refresh tokens on your behalf when using other APIs. Also, when tokens refresh you will be notified via an event on (https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/auth/FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener).

Thanks Rahul for your help!

Actually I'm using custom Authentication.

I've created an SO question along with error log.
