accountmanager

I am developing an android application and want to integrate Twitter. What I understand is if on user's device, official android Twitter app is installed then we can authenticate using account manager as mentined here .. and if not installed then show twitter login web page. Is my understanding correct? Now authenticating using twitter web login page is working fine. But how do I login using account manager? Using AccountsType as "com.twitter.android.auth.login" I got token and token secret using account manager from •com.twitter.android.oauth.token •com.twitter.android.oauth.token.secret I am

The API documentation for the hasFeatures method of Android's AccountManager has the following to say about which features are supported by each authenticator: Account features are authenticator-specific string tokens identifying boolean account properties. For example, features are used to tell whether Google accounts have a particular service (such as Google Calendar or Google Talk) enabled. The feature names and their meanings are published somewhere associated with the authenticator in question. Does anybody have any idea where "somewhere associated with the authenticator in question"

Using this code throws that exception and doesn't add created account into account manager. AccountManager am = AccountManager.get(activity); Account acc = new Account(name,activity.getString(R.string.account_type)); am.addAccountExplicitly(acc,"Password",null); I have followed this - http://developer.android.com/training/id-auth/custom_auth.html Any idea why it is caused? //edit: Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: caller uid 10035 is different than the authenticator's uid have you tried setting permissions in the manifest, i suspect you may need this? <uses-permission android:name=

everybody. I'm implementing an account authenticator using AbstractAccountAuthenticator and I need call an asynchronous method in the function getAuthToken, to authenticate a user. My code is like this: public class AccountAuthenticator extends AbstractAccountAuthenticator { ... @Override public Bundle getAuthToken( final AccountAuthenticatorResponse response, Account account, String authTokenType, Bundle options ) throws NetworkErrorException { final AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.get(context); String authToken = accountManager.peekAuthToken( account, authTokenType ); // !!!!

I'm writing an Android application, which uses AccountManager to get the token. From an android app I'm able to interact with Google Picasa - it works fine. What I would like to achieve is the following: send some text + authToken to my third party server, then check if the token is correct before saving the text. Now the question is: is it possible to determine if the authToken of a particular token is correct solely on the token itself (and maybe email address). I've already programmed the server part, which accepts the token (send from android application), then issues a request to an URL

I've implemented my AccountManager authenticator and the service and the whole deal and it all seems to be working fine. There is, however, one little problem: I only want a single account for my app to exist in account manager, but can't quite seem to find a way to limit this. Is my only solution to do a search and delete the current accounts (by type) before adding the new account? My current code: private void removeAccounts() { Account [] accounts = mAcctMgr.getAccountsByType (mAccountType); if (accounts.length == 0) return; final Handler handler = new Handler (); AccountManagerCallback

I am working on a twitter based app and am trying to incorporate Android's built-in Account support for Twitter. The following code works to popup the confirmation dialog for my app to access twitter but I am unsure of what to pass in as the authenticationType. Any help would be appreciated. I've googled all over the place and can't seem to find the correct answer. It goes in place of "oauth" below. AccountManager am = AccountManager.get(this); Account[] accts = am.getAccountsByType(TWITTER_ACCOUNT_TYPE); if(accts.length > 0) { Account acct = accts[0]; am.getAuthToken(acct, "oauth"/*what goes
