How to authorise user in background

To authorise user in background you should override AuthenticationProvider

class MyAuthenticationProvider : AuthenticationProvider {
override suspend fun onTokenRequired(reason: Reason): AuthData? {
// do a call to your backend to obtain huma session
}
}

Where AuthData is a data class that contains the auth token and refresh token.

data class AuthData(
val authToken: String,
val refreshToken: String,
)

Then register this class in SDK initializer

context.installHumaSdk {
sdk {
authKit {
authProvider(MyAuthenticationProvider())
// or
autoInitAuthProvider(MyAuthenticationProvider())
}
}
}

Note: Make sure to close all the activities that are not part of the Huma SDK flow before calling the start method.

If AuthenticationProvider is registered with autoInitAuthProvider method, SDK will automatically call onTokenRequired on the app start.

In on other case, when it's registered with authProvider method, you should do this call when your are ready to authorise the user.

HumaAuthKitManager.getInstance().authorize()
