UserRecoverableAuthException: NeedPermission

Question

I tried to follow tutorial: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/http-auth.

Code:

token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(getApplicationContext(),
           


        

Answer 1

the method getAndUseAuthTokenBlocking() of the official GoogleAuthUtil tutorial explains pretty well how to handle the exception:

// Example of how to use the GoogleAuthUtil in a blocking, non-main thread context
   void getAndUseAuthTokenBlocking() {
       try {
          // Retrieve a token for the given account and scope. It will always return either
          // a non-empty String or throw an exception.
          final String token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(Context, String, String)(context, email, scope);
          // Do work with token.
          ...
          if (server indicates token is invalid) {
              // invalidate the token that we found is bad so that GoogleAuthUtil won't
              // return it next time (it may have cached it)
              GoogleAuthUtil.invalidateToken(Context, String)(context, token);
              // consider retrying getAndUseTokenBlocking() once more
              return;
          }
          return;
       } catch (GooglePlayServicesAvailabilityException playEx) {
         Dialog alert = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(
             playEx.getConnectionStatusCode(),
             this,
             MY_ACTIVITYS_AUTH_REQUEST_CODE);
         ...
       } catch (UserRecoverableAuthException userAuthEx) {
          // Start the user recoverable action using the intent returned by
          // getIntent()
          myActivity.startActivityForResult(
                  userAuthEx.getIntent(),
                  MY_ACTIVITYS_AUTH_REQUEST_CODE);
          return;
       } catch (IOException transientEx) {
          // network or server error, the call is expected to succeed if you try again later.
          // Don't attempt to call again immediately - the request is likely to
          // fail, you'll hit quotas or back-off.
          ...
          return;
       } catch (GoogleAuthException authEx) {
          // Failure. The call is not expected to ever succeed so it should not be
          // retried.
          ...
          return;
       }
   }
