AFAIK, it is a account specific value. Your implementation of AbstractAccountAuthenticator can enforce any or no restrictions or conventions on its use.

I've investigated and AFAIK there is no way for your implementation of AbstractAccountAuthenticator to determine who is calling it. I looked and Binder.getCallingUid() and Binder.getCallingPid() are not populated with the caller's values, CallingUid is always 1000 That leaves two options: - some convention of your own device imposed on authTokenType - passing options Bundle to getAuthToken() that your authenticator can interrogate As far as un-granting, perhaps you could either - return authTokens of limited lifetime - call AccountManager.removeAccount See: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html#getAuthToken(android.accounts.Account, java.lang.String, android.os.Bundle, android.app.Activity, android.accounts.AccountManagerCallback<android.os.Bundle>, android.os.Handler) http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AbstractAccountAuthenticator.html#getAuthToken(android.accounts.AccountAuthenticatorResponse, android.accounts.Account, java.lang.String, android.os.Bundle) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
