Describe the bug

Trying to use the drop in ui, i lateinit the dropInClient and implemented the DropInListener, requested a token from our backend, upon arrival of the token from the backend private fun configureDropInClient(token: String) { dropInClient = DropInClient(this, token) dropInClient.setListener(this)
the debugger is stopped at line dropInClient = DropInClient(this, token)
reporting an exception saying: "lifecycleowner signuppaymentfragment{112c298} (63f0e051-95cc-416e-b698-8ee3cefb3148 id=0x7f0a06cb) is attempting to register while current state is resumed. lifecycleowners must call register before they are started."

private fun launchDropIn() {
        val dropInRequest = DropInRequest()
        dropInRequest.isVenmoDisabled = true
        dropInRequest.isGooglePayDisabled = true
        dropInRequest.isCardDisabled = true
        dropInRequest.maskCardNumber = true
        dropInRequest.maskSecurityCode = true
        dropInClient.launchDropIn(dropInRequest)
    } 

i call this after it but it never reached it, except one time which was weird i was debugging

To reproduce

you just initialize the drop in token like i explained

Expected behavior

drop in client get initialized and paypal gatway browser opens

Hi @yosrri thanks for using the Braintree SDK for Android. Have you tried using a ClientTokenProvider instead? There's a limitation with DropInClient that requires it to be instantiated in onCreate() (or before the host Activity reaches a CREATED state). We're working on removing this constraint in our next beta. In the meantime, using a ClientTokenProvider will be the best solution.

Also, I'm going to close this issue since it's unrelated to this repo, which hosts our Core SDK. If using a ClientTokenProvider doesn't work, feel free to re-open this issue in our braintree/braintree-android-drop-in repo.

@sshropshire thank you, does the same limitation exists in the paypal with vault sdk?

@yosrri for now yes. We do eliminate the restriction in the v5 beta of our Core SDK though (see MIGRATION_GUIDE). In v5 only PayPalLauncher needs to be instantiated in onCreate(). We'll be releasing a similar update for DropIn in the near future as well.
