startActivityForResult(Intent,int) is deprecated, please update your snippet and documentation

Thanks for the feedback @wuujcik! As far as I know the startActivityForResult() method is not actually deprecated:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#startActivityForResult(android.content.Intent,%20int)

Although you're correct that it's no longer recommended:
https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/result

I think what we need to do here is ship an ActivityResultContract in the FirebaseUI library which would enable developers to safely use the shiny new API!

@samtstern the startActivityForResult and onActivityResult methods have been deprecated in the androidx.activity library v1.2.0. I only see deprecation warnings in projects using that library.

@wuujcik Thanks for bringing this up. As @samtstern mentioned, this should be done in the FirebaseUI library and might come out in the next release of that library (see firebase/FirebaseUI-Android#1918 )

Any updates on the deprecation of startActivityForResult()?

[thatfiredev]

I think this has been solved by #303

@rosariopfernandes thanks!
