Android Twitter Kit crash when authenticate again after cancel

Question

I am using TwitterKit v2.3.0

com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter:2.3.0@aar

Here is how I call Twitter Authentication using TwitterAuthClient:

        if (mTwitterAuthClient == null) {
            TwitterAuthConfig authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(getString(R.string.twitter_api_key),
                    getString(R.string.twitter_api_secret));
            Fabric.with(getActivity(), new Twitter(authConfig));
        }
        mTwitterAuthClient = new TwitterAuthClient();
        mTwitterAuthClient.authorize(getActivity(), new Callback<TwitterSession>() {
            @Override
            public void success(Result<TwitterSession> result) {
                handleTwitterSession(result.data);
            }

            @Override
            public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
            }
       });

If I press login button, then press back or cancel button to close authentication screen, then press login button again, it throws an exception without showing authentication screen again:

I checked the Twitter Core source code, It keeps a static instance of AuthState, where never be renew although I recreate new instance of TwitterAuthClient. Does someone know how to bypass this exception?

Found a similar thread in Twitter Community : https://twittercommunity.com/t/getting-authorization-error-when-cancelling-from-twitter-authorization-using-fabric-sdk/31341/10

The issue gone when I implement onActivityResult method in my activity as below:

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        final TwitterAuthClient twitterAuthClient = new TwitterAuthClient();
        if(twitterAuthClient.getRequestCode()==requestCode) {
            twitterAuthClient.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        }
    }

But, this just a workaround like what they said. I hope we will got a final better solution.
