[android-developers] caller uid xxxxx is different than the authenticator's uid

[liero.proapps]

When trying to add a new Account to android 2.3.6 using the method :

                 AccountManager am = AccountManager.get(this);
                 boolean accountCreated = am.addAccountExplicitly(account,
password, null);

There is a service that should authenticate :
public class AccountAuthenticatorService extends Service {
    private AccountAuthenticator mAccountAuthenticator;

   @Override
    public void onCreate() {
            mAccountAuthenticator = new AccountAuthenticator(this);
    }

   @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
            return mAccountAuthenticator.getIBinder();
    }
}

And ofcourse:

public class AccountAuthenticator extends AbstractAccountAuthenticator
{
    public static final String ACCOUNT_NAME =
"proapps.sen...@gmail.com";
    public static final String ACCOUNT_TYPE = "com.google";
    private Context mContext;
    private AccountManager mAccountManager;

   public AccountAuthenticator(Context context) {
           super(context);
           mContext = context;
           mAccountManager = AccountManager.get(context);
   }

   @Override
   public Bundle addAccount(AccountAuthenticatorResponse response,
String accountType,
                    String authTokenType, String[] requiredFeatures,
Bundle options) throws NetworkErrorException {

          Bundle reply = new Bundle();

           Intent i = new Intent(mContext, LoginActivity.class);//
Explicit intent to start LoginActivity/
 
i.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATOR_RESPONSE,
response);

           reply.putParcelable(AccountManager.KEY_INTENT, i);

           return reply;
   }

@Override
public Bundle confirmCredentials(AccountAuthenticatorResponse arg0,
                Account arg1, Bundle arg2) throws NetworkErrorException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
}

@Override
public Bundle editProperties(AccountAuthenticatorResponse arg0, String
arg1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
}

@Override
public Bundle getAuthToken(AccountAuthenticatorResponse arg0, Account
arg1,
                String arg2, Bundle arg3) throws NetworkErrorException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
}

@Override
public String getAuthTokenLabel(String arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
}

@Override
public Bundle hasFeatures(AccountAuthenticatorResponse arg0, Account
arg1,
                String[] arg2) throws NetworkErrorException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
}

@Override
public Bundle updateCredentials(AccountAuthenticatorResponse arg0,
                Account arg1, String arg2, Bundle arg3) throws 
NetworkErrorException
{
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
}
}


The Manifest looks like that :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
    package="com.test.com.test"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
        <uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>
    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".Test_Activity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <activity android:name=".LoginActivity"
          android:label="this is the label"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"
           android:excludeFromRecents="true" />

        <service
android:name=".authenticator.AccountAuthenticatorService"
android:exported="true">
                <intent-filter>
                <action
android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator" />
                </intent-filter>
                <meta-data
android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator"
                       android:resource="@xml/authenticator" />
                </service>
    </application>
</manifest>


authenticator.xml looks like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <account-authenticator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/
res/android"
     android:accountType="com.google"
     android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
     android:smallIcon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
     android:label="@string/hello"
 />

really need your assistance. Thank You!
